CATALOGUE 2006. Bibliographie [ © Mestre J. & Chiffaud J., 2006, Catalogue et atlas des acridiens d'Afrique de l'Ouest ] BIBLIOGRAPHIE Des divergences, que nous indiquons, existent parfois sur la date de quelques publications pour l'essentiel anciennes. Nous n'avons pas pu à ce jour approfondir ces points qu'il serait pourtant utile de préciser, au moins en ce qui concerne les publications de systématique. Notons d’ailleurs, à défaut de vérification exhaustive des dates de parution effective, parfois difficiles à préciser, qu’il peut y avoir d’autres erreurs supplémentaires encore non décelées. Comme indiqué dans l'introduction, les publications traitant de l’impact économique et du contrôle des acridiens ne sont que très partiellement inventoriées. Pour des références sur ce dernier point, on se reportera à divers ouvrages récents, notamment à eux de Goetell & Johnson (1997), Krall et al. (1997), Lockwood et al. (2000) et Lomer & Prior (1992).

SHAH† CABI Bioscience UK Centre, Silwood Park, Ascot, Berks. SL5 7TA, UK. E-mail: h.evans!cabi.org Received 2 September 2001; accepted 28 April 2002. The occurrence of disease outbreaks associated with the genus Sorosporella on grasshoppers and locusts (Orthoptera: Acridoidea) in Africa is reported. Infected hosts, representing ten genera within five acridoid subfamilies, are characterized by red, thick-walled chlamydospores which completely fill the cadaver. On selective media, the chlamydospores, up to seven-years-old, germinated to produce a Syngliocladium anamorph which is considered to be undescribed. The new species Syngliocladium acridiorum is described and two varieties are delimited: var. acridiorum, on various grasshopper and locust genera from the Sahelian region of West Africa; and, var. madagascariensis, on the Madagascan migratory locust. The ecology of these insect-fungal associations is discussed. Sorosporella is treated as a synonym of Syngliocladium. INTRODUCTION synanamorph, Syngliocladium Petch.

  • Management of Insect Pests by Microorganisms
    Proc Indian Natn Sci Acad 80 No. 2 June 2014 Spl. Sec. pp. 455-471 Printed in India. Review Article Management of Insect Pests by Microorganisms B RAMANUJAM*, R RANGESHWARAN, G SIVAKMAR, M MOHAN and M S YANDIGERI National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Insects, P.B. No. 2491, HA Farm Post, Bellary Road, Bangalore 560024, Karnataka, India (Received on 09 April 2013; Revised on 20 August 2013; Accepted on 23 September 2013) Insects, like other organisms, are susceptible to a variety of diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans, and these pathogens are exploited for biological control of insect pests through introductory or inundative applications. Microbial pathogens of insects are intensively investigated to develop environmental friendly pest management strategies in agriculture and forestry. In this paper, the scope for utilization of insect pathogens in pest management in the world and India is reviewed. The most successfully utilized insect pathogen is the bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) which is used extensively for management of certain lepidopteran pests. In India, mostly imported products of Bt kurstaki have been used, which are expensive and there is an urgent need to develop aggressive indigenous Bt strains against various pests. Baculoviruses comprising nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) and granulosis virus (GV) have been successfully used as insect pathogens because of their high virulence and specificity. NPV and GV formulations are used for lepidopteran pests like Helicoverpa armigera (HaNPV) and Spodoptera litura (SlNPV) in India, besides Anticarsia gemmatalis NPV in Brazil, Lymanttria disper NPV, Orgyia pseudotsugata NPV in USA and GV of Pieris rapae in China. Lack of easy mass multiplication methods for the commercial production of baculoviruses calls for R&D to develop production in insect tissue cultures.

The move towards biological control methods represents an important option to mitigate environmental impact linked with the use of insecticides for their control. Metarhizium acridum, a locust pathogenic fungus that gave excellent test results in controlling grasshoppers, was further developed as biopesticide. The stability of the manufactured biopesticide in operational conditions was tested. In the present study, the germination of spores and mycelial growth of M. acridum were higher at 28 °C and 33 °C. Higher temperatures led to a significant decrease of these biological parameters. The sporulation of M. acridum is abundant at 28 °C and 33 °C but was completely inhibited at 37 °C. Furthermore, M. acridum based biopesticide showed a good infection rate for the dry spores formulation for 3 months of storage in all test sites. In the oil formulation in contrast, infectivity rate dropped quickly to a very low level after one month storage in the inland sites and remained good in Dakar. High temperatures and low moisture, away from the coast were speculated to be the reasons.

Our review compiles information regarding the entomopathogenic fungal species Metarhizium flavoviride (Gams and Rozsypal 1956) (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) and gives account of the natural occurrences and target arthropods that can be controlled using M. flavoviride. Taxonomic problems around M. flavoviride species sensu lato are explained. Bioassays, laboratory and field studies examining the effect of fermentation, culture regimes and formulation are compiled along with studies on the effect of the fungus on target and non-target organisms and presenting the effect of management practices on the use of the fungus.

E-mail: [email protected] (Accepted 14 August 2003) Abstract—Data on insects as food in sub-Saharan Africa were collected by reviewing the literature and conducting interviews in a number of African countries. A list of about 250 edible insect species from Africa was compiled. Of these, 78 percent are Lepidoptera (30%), Orthoptera (29%) and Coleoptera (19%), and 22 percent Isoptera, Homoptera, Hymenoptera, Heteroptera, Diptera and Odonota. Insects are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, and a good source of iron and B-vitamins. Examples of insects being toxic are given, but often traditional methods are used to remove the poison. Whether or not insects are eaten depends not only on taste and nutritional value, but also on customs, ethnic preferences or prohibitions. The harvesting of insects is often done by women. The way of collecting depends on insects’ behaviour. For example, inactivity at low temperatures enables easy catching of locusts and grasshoppers in the morning. Night flyers (termites, some grasshoppers) can be lured into traps by light and some insects like palm weevils can be attracted to artificially created breeding sites. Some species (crickets, cicadas) can be located by the sound they make. A number of tools are used to facilitate capturing such as glue, sticks, nets and baskets.

  • Survival and Mortality of Grasshopper Egg Pods in Semi-Arid Cereal Cropping Areas of Northern Benin
    Bulletin of Entomological Research (1998) 88, 451-459 451 Survival and mortality of grasshopper egg pods in semi-arid cereal cropping areas of northern Benin P.A. Shah12*, I. Godonou2, C. Gbongboui2, A. Hossou3 and C.J. Lomer2 'Institute of Microbiology, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, LFV E14, ETH- Zentrum, CH-8092 Zurich, Switzerland: 'International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Plant Health Management Division, Cotonou, BP 08-0932, Republic of Benin: 'Service Protection des Vegetaux, Porto Novo, BP 58, Republic of Benin Abstract Surveys of egg pods of agriculturally important grasshoppers were carried out in northern Benin between 1992 and 1995. Searches were made of oviposition sites under shrubs of the perennial legume Piliostigma thonningi along field margins. In 1993 and 1995, surveys were extended to include sorghum, Sorghum bicolor, and the perennial thatch grass Vetiveria nigritana. The four principal grasshopper species found at these oviposition sites were Hieroglyphus daganensis Krauss, Cataloipus fuscocoeruleipes Sjostedt, Kraussaria angulifera (Krauss) and Tylotropidius gracilipes Brancsik comprising 86% of 4545 identified egg pods while 651 egg pods could not be identified to species level. Predation by meloid beetles (Epicauta, Mylabris and Psalydolytta spp.) varied between 0 and 50% for the four dominant grasshopper species. From 1993 and 1994 data, nymphal eclosion from egg pods damaged by meloids was significantly lower than emergence from undamaged egg pods. The hymenopterous parasitoids Scelio africanus Risbec and S. mauriticanus Risbec were reared from the four dominant grasshopper species and parasitism levels of 0.0-3.3% were recorded from these hosts. There were significant differences in nymphaJ emergences between parasitized and unparasitized egg pods of H.

  • AGRHYMET MONTHLY BULLETIN N° M-05/05 July 2005
    COMITÉ PERMANENT INTER- ÉTATS DE LUTTE PERMANENT INTERSTATE COMMITTEE CONTRE LA SÉCHERESSE DANS LE SAHEL FOR DROUGHT CONTROL IN THE SAHEL AGRHYMET MONTHLY BULLETIN N° M-05/05 July 2005 The overall good and rather well distributed rainfall in time and space, early sowing, good vegetative state of crops and relatively calm phytosanitary situation should not mask the July localized crop water stress, flooding and overflow of bodies of water in areas to be monitored during this cropping season. The July 2005 monthly rainfall was poorly distributed in time. Admittedly, the fortnight of the month under review was characterized by abundant and well distributed rains. On the other hand, a break in rainfall, which ranged from a few days to two weeks, was observed during the second fortnight of July. As a result, the rainfall amounts recorded were below normal in many locations of the agricultural zone of the CILSS member countries. These localised rainfall deficits were observed in the Wilayas of Guidimaka and Hodh el Chargui, Mauritania, the southern part of the area of Tambacounda, the Ziguinchor and Niaye areas, Senegal, Western Gambia, almost all over the agricultural zone of Guinea Bissau and Mali respectively, southwestern and central Burkina Faso, the area of Tillabéry and the southern part of that of Dosso, Niger, and the prefectures1 of Guéra, Salamat, Ouaddaï, Middle Chari, Eastern and Western Logones, Chad (figures 1.1 and 1.2). Seasonal cumulative rainfall as at July 31st, 2005, was deficient in the coastal Niaye strip, Senegal, some places in the areas of Kayes, Sikasso and Ségou, Mali, Southwestern and Western Burkina Faso, here and there in the northeastern and southern parts of the areas of Tillabéry and Dosso respectively, Niger and the extreme South of Chad (figures 1.3 and 1.4).
