About Xyleborus Glabratus
Xyleborus glabratus is a type of ambrosia beetle invasive to the United States. It has been documented as the primary vector of Raffaelea lauricola, the fungus that causes laurel wilt, a disease that can kill several North American tree species in the family Lauraceae, including redbay, sassafras, and avocado.
