Abstract
The results presented in this dissertation allow to better understand the outbreak dynamics of the ACGW, as well as the importance of different chestnut cultivar susceptibility. Furthermore, studying the role of native parasitoids is crucial to assess the impact of T. sinensis on endemic ACGW natural enemies once the exotic parasitoid colonizes these areas, either naturally or by future introductions. As regards the WCSB two highly specific DNA-based diagnostic protocols were devised, showing a promising sensitivity in the detection of WCSB biological traces. In addition, the potential of HRM analysis for insect genotyping was highlighted.
