MANHATTAN —Several states, including 1xbet online sports betting , are trying to protect their borders from a little beetle that could cost the black walnut industry millions of dollars. 1xbet online sports betting Forest Service specialists at 1xbet online sports betting State University say you could be spreading the disease without knowing it.

Thousand cankers disease has been confirmed in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Vermont, Nevada, California, Idaho, Washington, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia. Several quarantines have been established in an attempt to prevent the disease from spreading. States in quarantine include 1xbet online sports betting , Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wyoming and Montana.

"It's an interesting disease that requires two parts," said Ryan Armbrust, a forest health specialist with the 1xbet online sports betting Forest Service. "There's a small walnut twig beetle that will feed on the twigs of black walnut trees. In doing this, it will spread a fungus that causes cankers and causes the tree's vascular system to clog up and die."

The beetle is tiny —about the size of the letter "i" in the word Liberty on a dime. The flight season for the beetle is typically in the warmer months, but it can survive in the tree throughout the year. Since there are currently no viable treatment options, Armbrust says the best defense is to avoid moving black 1xbet online sports betting tree firewood or lumber out of an area, especially if it still contains the bark.

"While it may seem safer to move black 1xbet online sports betting material in the wintertime, when the beetle isn't flying around, that beetle could still be contained within that bark. When it warms up in the spring, it could come out," Armbrust said. "There really is no safe time of year to move black 1xbet online sports betting lumber, especially from an area that has been infested."

1xbet online sports betting is home to about 25 million black walnut trees, which are an important part of the economy. The 1xbet online sports betting Forest Service estimates the state would lose at least 0 million in revenue from the lumber and nut production if these trees were destroyed by thousand cankers disease.
