Abstract

The dwarf mistletoe, Arceughobium tsugense, exists as two pathotypes in British Columbia: one primarily infects western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), the other shore pine (Pinus contorta var. contorta). This is the first report of natural occurrence of either pathotypes on Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and the first of the hemlock dwarf mistletoe pathotype on western white pine (Pinus montricola) north of Oregon.
