Discovery of molecular markers for the detection of geographic origin of the pinewood nematode and detection kit development Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is the causal agent of pine wilt disease. The initial burst of the disease occurred in 1999, in Setúbal, Portugal, and, in spite of containment measures, the nematode spread to the entire country.

Case-Control Genetic Association Studies Genetic association analysis has been performed in a case-control setting for identification of the genetic determinants of a certain phenotype. Significant differences in allele or genotype frequencies between cases (affected individuals) and controls (unaffected subjects) are taken as evidence for its involvement in the phenotypic trait under study.
