Usage examples
  • Taimekudede ebanormaalset vohamist, mille tulemuseks on pahk, põhjustavad taimerakkudesse sisestatavad ärritavad ained, mida eritavad putukad, lestad, nematoodid, seened või bakterid, ka viirused võivad osaleda selles protsessis. Maailmas on teada ligi 15 000 pahkade tekitajat ja kõige arvukamalt on neid putukate hulgas. Puudel ja põõsastel tekitavad pahku sageli pahklased ehk pahkvaablased (Cynipidae) ja pahksääsklased (Cecidomyiidae), samuti pahktäiliste (Adelgidae) ja lehetäiliste (Aphididae) hulka kuuluvad putukad.
