Iridovirus in the root weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2003
Invertebrate iridescent virus 6 (IIV6) was evaluated for mode of transmission and ability to cause infection in the root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.). This is the first evidence of IIV6 infection in D.

Subterranean, herbivore-induced plant volatile increases biological control activity of multiple beneficial nematode species in distinct habitats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
While the role of herbivore-induced volatiles in plant-herbivore-natural enemy interactions is well documented aboveground, new evidence suggests that belowground volatile emissions can protect plants by attracting entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs ...

In Planta Localization of Endophytic Cordyceps fumosorosea in Carrizo Citrus [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2021
Entomopathogenic fungi can be a useful resource for controlling insect vectors of citrus plant pathogens, such as the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri) associated with huanglongbing or the citrus root weevil (Diaprepes abbreviatus) associated with ...

A major forest insect pest, the pine weevil Hylobius abietis, is more susceptible to Diptera- than Coleoptera-targeted Bacillus thuringiensis strains. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci, 2021
Effects of Bacillus thuringiensis on the pine weevil Hylobius abietis were evaluated for the first time. A Diptera‐targeted strain was most toxic and could enhance forest protection against H. abietis. Abstract BACKGROUND The pine weevil (Hylobius abietis) is a major forest regeneration pest causing high levels of seedling mortality and economic losses.

Plants use identical inhibitors to protect their cell wall pectin against microbes and insects

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 8, Page 3814-3824, April 2020., 2020
Whether polygalacturonase‐inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) play a role in defense against herbivorous beetles is unknown. Feeding assays with the leaf beetle Phaedon cochleariae on Arabidopsis thaliana pgip mutants were performed. Fitness was increased when larvae were fed on mutant plants compared to wild‐type plants.

Testing the potential of entomopathogenic nematodes in attract-and-kill and autodissemination approaches in the control of Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) delivered in a fly‐attractive aqueous yeast hydrolysate solution cause high levels of mortality in Queensland fruit fly. Infected flies can still fly and thereby disperse EPNs before the flies succumb to infection. Abstract BACKGROUND Many studies have demonstrated that tephritid fruit fly larvae are highly susceptible

Commodity risk assessment of Ligustrum delavayanum topiary plants grafted on Ligustrum japonicum from the UK [PDF]

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by evergreen 3‐ to 20‐year‐old topiary plants of ...

Diaprepes root weevil, a new California pest, will raise costs for pest control and trigger quarantines [PDF]

California Agriculture, 2009
This study presents an economic analysis of cost increases for citrus, avocado and nursery producers should the Diaprepes root weevil become established in California. First identified in Southern California in 2005, Diaprepres would mainly affect orange,

De Novo transcriptome assembly of Diaprepes abbreviatus: foundations for functional genomics and targeted pest management [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Diaprepes abbreviatus is a major pest causing severe root damage and yield loss in over 150 species, with a complex life cycle that hinders effective control. Limited genomic and transcriptomic resources have restricted molecular insights into

Mortality of the Larval Root Weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Simulated Flooding

The Florida Entomologist, 1997
Larvae of the weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus L. can cause substantial damage to sugarcane and citrus. To test the feasibility of managing Diaprepes populations by flooding canefields for extended periods of time, larval mortalities were recorded after submerging larvae under water in soil filled trays at temperatures from 18 to 27°C for up to 5 weeks ...
