Abstract
The emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) (EAB) is an invasive buprestid native to Asia that has killed millions of ash (Fraxinus spp.) trees in North America. It was first discovered in 2002 in areas of southern Michigan and Ontario, and infestations have since been found in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Quebec. Due to extent of the outbreak and the challenges of locating and eradicating new infestations, regulatory agencies are now seeking methods for managing this destructive pest throughout North America. We began our search for EAB natural enemies in Michigan and in China in 2002.
