Ceratocystis Pathogen Presence on Beetles
Description
These data contain the documentation of culturing results of Ceratocystis lukuohia and Ceratocystis huliohia from ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) bodies. Beetles were collected from bolts (tree stem sections), sticky cards affixed to ʻōhiʻa trees in the field, and cross-vein panel traps deployed in the field. Beetles were cultured to detect the presence of fungi, confirmed morphologically, then further confirmed for DNA by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).
