Three Decades of Dutch Elm Disease in Fredericton by Laszlo P. Magasi,Canada. Natural Resources Canada Pdf
The City of Fredricton, New Brunswick has saved 70% of its elms since Dutch elm disease was first found in 1961, while most elms in surrounding areas have been destroyed. This report details the City's efforts to control the disease over the past 30 years, including the biological and historical background to the disease and its carrier; control measures; the disease management program, including surveys, sanitation, insecticides, trap trees, tree injection, implants, and the planting program; and the results of bark beetle population studies, tree losses, and the cost of the program.
