Abstract
A simple method for loading adult Momochamus alternatus with Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is presented. Statistical analyses indicated that vectors with larger nematode loads could be obtained in a shorter length of time from the nematode inoculation to vector larval introduction into substrate of Pinus densiflora bolt and the use of larger vector larvae.
