  • The Isolation and Genetic Characterisation of a Novel Alphabaculovirus for the Microbial Control of Cryptophlebia Peltastica and Closely Related Tortricid Pests
    RHODES UNIVERSITY Where leaders learn The isolation and genetic characterisation of a novel alphabaculovirus for the microbial control of Cryptophlebia peltastica and closely related tortricid pests Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY At RHODES UNIVERSITY By TAMRYN MARSBERG December 2016 ABSTRACT Cryptophlebia peltastica (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is an economically damaging pest of litchis and macadamias in South Africa. Cryptophlebia peltastica causes both pre- and post-harvest damage to litchis, reducing overall yields and thus classifying the pest as a phytosanitary risk. Various control methods have been implemented against C. peltastica in an integrated pest management programme. These control methods include chemical control, cultural control and biological control. However, these methods have not yet provided satisfactory control as of yet. As a result, an alternative control option needs to be identified and implemented into the IPM programme. An alternative method of control that has proved successful in other agricultural sectors and not yet implemented in the control of C. peltastica is that of microbial control, specifically the use of baculovirus biopesticides. This study aimed to isolate and characterise a novel baculovirus from a laboratory culture of C. peltastica that could be used as a commercially available baculovirus biopesticide. In order to isolate a baculovirus a laboratory culture of C. peltastica was successfully established at Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa. This is the first time a laboratory culture of C. peltastica has been established. This allowed for various biological aspects of the pest to be determined, which included: length of the life cycle, fecundity and time to oviposition, egg and larval development and percentage hatch.

This is in fact the first record of Cryptophlebia from Korea, as the previous Korean records of the genus were based on one species, Cryptophlebia hematoma Diakonoff, currently assigned to Thaumatotibia Zacher. Photos of the superficial and genital features are provided for the two Korean species of Cryptophlebia and their distribution and host plants are summarized. Cryptophlebia ombrodelta is recognized as an adventive species in Korea and a potential pest on leguminoseous crops. Keywords: Cryptophlebia, Korea, new records, taxonomy, Tortricidae INTRODUCTION This species was later combined to Thaumatotibia (Komai, 1999).

  • Hot Water Immersion to Ensure Quarantine Security for Cryptophlebia Spp
    Exhibit 4b, #33 STORED-PRODUCT AND QUARANTINE ENTOMOLOGY Hot Water Immersion to Ensure Quarantine Security for Cryptophlebia spp. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in Lychee and Longan Exported from Hawaii PETER A. FOLLETT AND SUZANNE S. SANXTER U.S. PaciÞc Basin Agricultural Research Center, USDAÐARS, P.O. Box 4459, Hilo, HI 96720 J. Econ. Entomol. 94(5): 1292Ð1295 (2001) ABSTRACT We determined whether immersion in 49ЊC water for 20 min, a quarantine treatment developed for disinfestation of fruit ßies in lychee, Litchi chinensis Sonn., and longan, Dimocarpus longan (Lourd.) Steud., exported from Hawaii, would also disinfest fruit of two species of Crypto- phlebia. The pattern of tolerance to heat in Cryptophlebia illepida (Butler) was generally eggs Ͻ neonates Ͻ early instars ϭ lateinstars Ͻ pupae. No C. illepida survived immersion for 16 or 20 min. Late fourth and Þfth instars were determined to be the most tolerant stage that occurs in harvested fruit. Lateinstars of Cryptophlebia ombrodelta (Lower) were more tolerant of hot-water immersion than thoseof C. illepida, but no C. ombrodelta late instars survived immersion for 16 or 20 min. The hot water immersion quarantine treatment for fruit ßies should effectively disinfest lychees and longans of any Cryptophlebia.
