Thousand cankers is a recently described disease and its involvement in tree mortality apparently is also recent. The first published note involving black walnut die-offs that likely can be attributed to TCD occurred in the Espanola Valley of northern New Mexico in 2001.

Xanthomonas campestris pv. juglandis is an anaerobic, Gram negative, rod-shaped bacteria that can affect walnut trees though the flowers, buds, shoots, branches, trunk, and fruit. It can have devastating effects including premature fruit drop and lesions on the plant.
Xanthomonas arboricola can infect all green tissue of the plant. [6] The disease cycle of Xanthomonas arboricola begins on the leaves of the infected plant where the bacteria will live in an epiphytic stage (gathering all nutrients and water from the air) until mid to late spring when sufficient rainsplash spreads the bacteria to new buds and fruits where it becomes pathogenic.
It is newly named Ophiognomonia leptostyla and occurs on walnut (Juglans spp.) and causes leaf blotch and leaf spots which is called walnut anthracnose or walnut black spot. The anamorph is Marssoniella juglandis .
Geosmithia morbida is a species of anamorphic fungus in the Bionectriaceae family that, together with the activity of the walnut twig beetle, causes thousand cankers disease in species of walnut trees (Juglans spp.). [1] It was described as new to science in 2010 from specimens collected in the southern United States.
Pseudomonas flavescens is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes blight cankers on walnut trees. [1] Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. flavescens has been placed in the P. aeruginosa group. [ 2 ]
