Abstract: Introduction was made on geographical distribution of pine wilt disease and current situation of damage. Focus was put on the morphological and biochemical identification of the disease, field investigation and sampling and grade of damage, as well as control measures. Further researchesshould be on strengthening of quarantine to block spread path, development of new drugs by transgenic technology, recovery of close-to-nature forest and management of ecosystems to increasethe heterogenicity of ecological landscape, diversity of plant and animal for better biological control.Improving soil environment and soil fertility could also enhance the healthy and resistibility of pine forest. Aerial and field monitoring should be strengthened and application of drone could improve analysis of the disease.
