The causal agent of the chestnut blight C. parasitica belongs to the Ascomycetes. Its spores are carried and spread by rain, wind, insects, snails and birds. Once the spores land in a wound of a chestnut tree they germinate and the fungus begins to grow in the bark and cambium. 2, record 1, English, - chestnut%20blight%20fungus

Le pathogène du chancre de l’écorce du châtaignier Cyphonectria parasitica appartient aux ascomycètes. Ses spores sont disséminées par l’eau de pluie, le vent, les insectes, les oiseaux ou les escargots. Dès que les spores pénètrent dans une blessure du châtaignier, le processus de germination se met en marche. Le champignon se développe dans l’écorce et le cambium. 2, record 1, French, - Cryphonectria%20parasitica

Le champignon Cyphonectria parasitica colonise l’écorce du châtaignier. L’arbre réagit alors en essayant de cicatriser les tissus détériorés -- c’est ainsi qu’apparaissent les chancres typiques de l’écorce [...] La plante se met à dépérir au-dessus de la partie malade. Les feuilles se flétrissent mais ne tombent pas. D’abondants gourmands se forment au-dessous du chancre. 2, record 1, French, - Cryphonectria%20parasitica

Chestnut blight is a canker disease. Perhaps it is called blight disease because infected branches and stems die quickly, as in a shoot blight. But it doesn't just infect shoots; it infects branches and stems of any size. 6, record 2, English, - chestnut%20blight

[Le] parasite [de cette maladie] provoque sur les troncs et les branches des lésions brun rougeâtre de forme oblongue avec boursouflures jaunâtres. Le chancre entoure entièrement la branche qui sèche au delà de la lésion; l’extrémité de la branche malade présente des bourgeons qui meurent ou qui développent des feuilles flétries et brunes. Lorsqu’il s’agit d’un jeune tronc, il meurt et est bientôt remplacé par de nombreux rejets. En vieillissant les chancres deviennent rugueux, l’écorce se fend et s’exfolie. La maladie est très contagieuse au verger et peut détruire entièrement une châtaigneraie. 5, record 2, French, - chancre%20du%20ch%C3%A2taignier

El síntoma más característico consiste en la presencia de chancros sobre el tronco, ramas o renuevos, los cuales provocan un anillamiento impidiendo así la circulación de la savia, dando como resultado la muerte de brotes o ramas por encima de la lesión, pudiendo observarse en los árboles afectados puntas secas emergiendo de los pies frondosos. 1, record 2, Spanish, - chancro%20del%20casta%C3%B1o
