Abstract
We began research on natural enemies of Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Buprestidae) in Michigan and China soon after its discovery in North America. From 2003-2004 in Michigan, parasitoids and fungal pathogens reduced A. planipennis larval populations by ca. 3 percent, and no egg parasitoids were confirmed.
