Bacterial Associates of Orthezia Urticae, Matsucoccus Pini, And
Protoplasma https://doi.org/10.1007/s00709-019-01377-z ORIGINAL ARTICLE Bacterial associates of Orthezia urticae, Matsucoccus pini, and Steingelia gorodetskia - scale insects of archaeoccoid families Ortheziidae, Matsucoccidae, and Steingeliidae (Hemiptera, Coccomorpha) Katarzyna Michalik1 & Teresa Szklarzewicz1 & Małgorzata Kalandyk-Kołodziejczyk2 & Anna Michalik1 Received: 1 February 2019 /Accepted: 2 April 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract The biological nature, ultrastructure, distribution, and mode of transmission between generations of the microorganisms associ- ated with three species (Orthezia urticae, Matsucoccus pini, Steingelia gorodetskia) of primitive families (archaeococcoids = Orthezioidea) of scale insects were investigated by means of microscopic and molecular methods. In all the specimens of Orthezia urticae and Matsucoccus pini examined, bacteria Wolbachia were identified. In some examined specimens of O. urticae,apartfromWolbachia,bacteriaSodalis were detected. In Steingelia gorodetskia, the bacteria of the genus Sphingomonas were found. In contrast to most plant sap-sucking hemipterans, the bacterial associates of O. urticae, M. pini, and S. gorodetskia are not harbored in specialized bacteriocytes, but are dispersed in the cells of different organs. Ultrastructural observations have shown that bacteria Wolbachia in O. urticae and M. pini, Sodalis in O. urticae, and Sphingomonas in S. gorodetskia are transovarially transmitted from mother to progeny.

Information about the scientific collections is made available more and more often. The digitisation of such resources allows us to verify their value and share these records with other scientists – and they are usually rich in taxa and unique in the world. Moreover, such information significantly enriches local and global knowledge about biodiversi- ty. The digitisation of the resources of the Zoology Research Group, University of Silesia in Katowice (Poland) allowed presenting a substantial collection of scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha). The collection counts 9369 slide-mounted specimens, about 200 alcohol-preserved samples, close to 2500 dry specimens stored in glass vials and 1319 amber inclu- sions representing 343 taxa (289 identified to species level), 158 genera and 36 families (29 extant and seven extinct). -

The mango orchards were visited and it was found that maximum number of females were exposed from the roots of host plants in the field (1.9 m2) and minimum numbers of females were recorded from the cracks of trees, sides of kacha roads, soil under tree canopy (0.16 m-2). The data revealed that the treatment with three measures (cultural, mechanical & chemical) were combined had maximum effect in reducing the population i.e., 98.46%. It was also concluded from the results that the measures in integrated form gave better results than the single treatment.
