在希腊的悬铃木林分中，食味甲虫Platypus cylindrus非常常见，它在已经感染了悬铃木长喙壳虫的树木中为害。真菌C.platani分离出59%的成年甲虫的P.cylindrus收集的翅膀在严重感染的立场P. orientalis。传播C.platani证明在80%的P.orientalis幼苗挑战与P.cylindrus甲虫，这是以前喂养的文化的真菌。在大多数情况下，甲虫在茎中钻有隧道，在那里观察到大量的C.platani。在自然林分中，鸭嘴兽成虫定期访问人工受伤的东方鸭嘴兽树。虽然这种食心虫通常侵染受压或死亡的树木，但它似乎扮演了一个媒介的角色，特别是通过访问受伤的树木。
The ambrosia beetle Platypus cylindrus was very common in stands of Platanus orientalis trees in Greece, infesting trees already infected by Ceratocystis platani. The fungus C.platani was isolated from 59% of adult beetles of P.cylindrus collected on the wing in a heavily infected stand of P.orientalis. Transmission of C.platani was demonstrated in 80% of P.orientalis seedlings challenged with P.cylindrus beetles, which were previously fed in cultures of the fungus. In most of the cases, the beetles had bored tunnels in stems, where abundant perithecia of C.platani were observed. Platypus cylindrus adults regularly visited artificially wounded P.orientalis trees in a natural stand. Although this ambrosia beetle normally infests stressed or dead trees, it appears to play a role as a vector of C.platani, especially by visiting wounded trees.
