Default box elder bug link?? Dutch Elm Disease Hypothesis-- maples are hosts of the vectors

Now I wonder if there is a link between boisea trivittata, box elder
bug, and ascomycete
microfungi the fungus that causes Dutch Elm Disease, DED. I looked at
the elm bark
beetle and it is about 5 mm long whereas the box elder bug is 12mm
long. So is there some
link and is there a greater frequency of DED where maples are present?

whole entire Universe is just one big atom
where dots of the electron-dot-cloud are galaxies

Just get to a library & do a literature search! There is no
correlation --DED vectored from tree to tree by two bark beetles!
