An ongoing official survey to detect the pine wood nematode B ursaphelenchus xylophilus , a quarantine pest, started in 2003 in coniferous forests in H ungary. Based on the results of the study from 2003–11, B . xylophilus has not yet been detected in H ungary. Two other B ursaphelenchus species ( B . mucronatus and B . vallesianus ) were identified in samples in 2009. Details of the survey and the measurements of B . mucronatus and B . vallesianus are provided.
