<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA">The Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) poses an unprecedented risk to the multiple economic,
ecological and aesthetic values associated with the southern deciduous forests of Canada. Considered cumulatively, the recent reccurrence of ALB in the Toronto area, coupled with the plethora of international trade and potential points of entry that exist
throughout the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence region, and the several infestations currently extant in the northeastern United States provide ample evidence of both the risk and the need for early and aggressive action. Should this pest become established in Canada,
the potential economic and ecological impacts are alarming. These include potential multi-million dollar economic impacts that would result from the need for destructive removal of urban trees, but also the loss of ecotourism revenues driven by visitors to
our parks and conservation areas, the direct threat to the multi-million dollar maple syrup industry and a wide variety of possible ecological impacts including those associated with change to habitat for numerous species of birds, amphibians and other wildlife
that are already considered at risk in this region. In the face of these multifaceted risks and impact potentials, the need for an effective and aggressive response in terms of prevention, eradication, slow-the-spread strategies and mitigation cannot be overstated.
Within the context of meeting these over-arching strategic needs, TreeAzin, a natural systemic insecticide specifically developed for use against wood boring beetles, stands out as the non-destructive option with the greatest likelihood of success and public
acceptance for use in Canada. In this presentation, we will briefly review the research and development of TreeAzin and highlight some recent findings which demonstrate its potential for use as part of a more comprehensive integrated response strategy for
ALB. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
