A new species of Aleurolobus Quaintance et Baker (Homoptera, Aleyrodidae) from Southern Europe. [PDF]

, 1996
Aleurolobus teucrii n. sp. is described from southern Italy and the Maltese Islands (Central Mediterranean). The species seems to be monophagous on Teucrium fruticans L. A key to the European species of this genus (A.

Fungal, not insect: Revisiting a misidentified Bemisia tabaci protein interacting with a begomovirus coat protein

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A small heat‐shock protein (HSP16) previously reported as insect‐derived in Bemisia tabaci actually originates from a fungal species of the genus Wallemia. BLAST, genome survey and phylogenetic analyses support the fungal origin and clarify persistent misattribution in the literature.

Interaction of Whitefly Effector G4 with Tomato Proteins Impacts Whitefly Performance

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions®
The phloem-feeding insect Bemisia tabaci is an important pest, responsible for the transmission of several crop-threatening virus species. While feeding, the insect secretes a cocktail of effectors to modulate plant defense responses. Here, we present a set of proteins identified in an artificial diet on which B. tabaci was salivating. We subsequently

Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Insectary Plant Species Preferences of Predators and Parasitoid Families in a Mediterranean Horticultural Agroecosystem

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.

Lebensdauer des räuberischen Marienkäfers Serangium parcesetosum Sicard (Col., Coccinellidae) mit natürlicher und künstlicher Nahrung [PDF]

, 2008
The little known ladybird, Serangium parcesetosum SICARD (Col., Coccinellidae) seems to be an important predator of whiteflies. It has found attacking Bemisia tabaci (GENN.) (Hom., Aleyrodidae) (KAPADIA & PURI 1992), Aleurolobus barodensis MASK (PATEL et

Life history parameters of Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) at different environmental conditions on two bean cultivars [PDF]

Life-history parameters of the greenhouse whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood), an important pest of bean crops in Colombia, were determined in environmental control chambers on two dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cultivars (cv.).

Fitness costs associated with infections of secondary endosymbionts in the cassava whitefly species Bemisia tabaci [PDF]

, 2017
We investigated the dual effects of bacterial infections and diseased cassava plants on the fitness and biology of the Bemisia tabaci infesting cassava in Africa. Isofemale B.

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...
