Ecophysiological responses and vulnerability to other pathologies in European chestnut coppices, heavily infested by the Asian chestnut gall wasp

Forest Ecology and Management, 2014
Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu, the Asian chestnut gall wasp (ACGW), is an invasive alien species, which is causing alarm in the chestnut stands of Italy and Europe. It has extensively colonised the Castanea sativa Miller range throughout the country and highly conspicuous, alarming symptoms have appeared on plants. In addition, chestnut trees growing

Range Expansion and Dispersal of the Asian Chestnut Gall Wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) in the Mid-Atlantic States

Transactions of the American Entomological Society, 2020
The Asian chestnut gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu is an invasive species of global concern that was inadvertently introduced into North America where it induces gall formation on chestnut species including Castanea mollissima Blume, C. crenata Siebold & Zucc., and C. sativa Mill. as well as on the American chestnut, C.

Hymenoptera wasps associated with the Asian gall wasp of chestnut (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) in Calabria, Italy

Phytoparasitica, 2014
The parasitoid complex of the Asian chestnut gall wasp Drycosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu was studied in Calabria (Italy). A total of 14 different species of parasitoids were collected, of which three are recorded on the Asian gall wasp for the first time. The composition of the parasitoid complex collected in Calabria was compared with that reported from ...

Phenology, Density and Parasitism of Asian Chestnut Gall Wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) in Recently Invaded Chestnut (Castanea spp.) Orchards in Michigan

Environmental Entomology, 2022
Abstract Asian chestnut gall wasp (ACGW) (Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu), an invasive pest native to China, was detected in Michigan, the largest chestnut producer in North America, in 2015. Along with quantifying gall densities, we tracked dates and cumulative growing degree days corresponding to ACGW life stages in five, seven, and ...

A PRELIMINARY REPORT ON ASIAN CHESTNUT GALL WASP ON SPECIES AND HYBRIDS OF CHESTNUT IN CONNECTICUT

Acta Horticulturae, 2014
Seven species of chestnut ( spp.) and most of the possible hybrid combinations of these species are growing in plantings maintained by The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES). In 2011, Asian chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) was found for the first time in these plantings, and had clearly been present for at least two years ...

Molecular species delimitation of the Asian chestnut gall wasp biocontrol agent released in Italy

Insect Systematics & Evolution, 2019
Molecular species recognition and identification, based on the mitochondrial cox1 and on the nuclear ITS2, were performed on individuals of Torymus sinensis collected in Italy, on its close relative T. beneficus and on native torymids. The automatic-gap-discovery (ABGD) analyses correctly separate almost all morphospecies.

The Asian chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus: a global invader and a successful case of classical biological control

Journal of pest science (2004), 2019
Native to China, the Asian chestnut gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus (ACGW), was frst found outside its native range in Japan and the Korean peninsula in the mid-twentieth century. After appearing in North America in 1974, it was found in Europe a few decades later. Since then, the gall wasp has spread throughout the distribution of chestnut in Europe.

Natural occurrence of Fusarium proliferatum on chestnut in Italy and its potential entomopathogenicity against the Asian chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus

Journal of Pest Science, 2014
The Asian chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus (DK) is one of the most important pests of chestnut trees worldwide, and sustainable control measures are urgently required for its control. In this study, the recurring mycoflora associated with DK galls in some Italian chestnut orchards was identified, and two Fusarium proliferatum strains (I3 and I4)
