Can Hymenoscyphus fraxineus infect hardy members of the Oleaceae other than ash species
A. Madigan,Marta Belka,Andy F. S. Taylor,Andy F. S. Taylor,Thomas Kirisits,Michelle Cleary,Diem Nguyen,Malin Elfstrand,Stephen Woodward +8 more
TL;DR: The fungus was frequently detected in tissue at the point of inoculation, but rarely in distal samples, and there was no evidence that H. fraxineus was pathogenic on either of the two oleaceous species over the duration of the experiment.
