During the XXVI Italian National Congress of Entomology, experts and researchers involved in the LIFE Samfix project will discuss invasive insects in Mediterranean environments, with a particular focus on the genus Xylosandrus species. Taking place on 10 June, this satellite webinar will show invasion patterns and validated control strategies. It will also discuss the project’s containment measures under experimentation.
The online event will be held in English.
