Aphids (Insecta) damaging medicinal and aromatic plants of Jammu and Kashmir State (India): An updated checklist and biodiversity R.C. Bhagat* Department of Zoology, University of Kashmir Hazratbal, Srinagar, Kashmir (J&K), 190006 (India) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A total of 63 aphid species, belonging to 29 genera of family Aphididae, stretched over three subfamilies Aphidinae, Eriosomatinae and Lachninae, have been found to damage more than 92 species, under 61 genera of medicinal and aromatic plants, distributed over 31 plant families, in diverse areas of Jammu and Kashmir region. The dominant genus of aphid was Aphis, having 10 species, infesting 34 plant species. Rosa spp., found to be damaged by highest number of aphid species as 10, followed by Artemisia, Chrysanthemum and Berberis damaged by 6, 6 and 5 aphid species respectively. The highly polyphagous aphid species found to be Myzus persicae, damaging 9 host-plant species, followed by Aphis craccivora and Aphis gossypii, with 7 host-plant species each. The family Asteraceae, having 21 species, dominated in having highest number of aphid infestations species as 20. An updated checklist of aphids and Host-plant-Aphid species catalogue, have also been incorporated.

Bunn Road, Prosser, WA 99350, U.S.A Foottit R.G., Maw H.E.L., Pike K.S. – DNA barcodes to explore diversity in aphids (Hemiptera Aphididae and Adelgidae). A tendency towards loss of taxonomically useful characters, and morphological plasticity due to host and environmental factors, complicates the identification of aphid species and the analysis of relationships. The presence of different morphological forms of a single species on different hosts and at different times of the year makes it difficult to consistently associate routinely collected field samples with particular species definitions. DNA barcoding has been proposed as a standardized approach to the characterization of life forms. We have tested the effectiveness of the standard 658-bp barcode fragment from the 5’ end of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 gene (COI) to differentiate among species of aphids and adelgids. Results are presented for a preliminary study on the application of DNA barcoding in which approximately 3600 specimens representing 568 species and 169 genera of the major subfamilies of aphids and the adelgids have been sequenced. Examples are provided where DNA barcoding has been used as a tool in recognizing the existence of cryptic new taxa, linking life stages on different hosts of adelgids, and as an aid in the delineation of species boundaries.

In total 20 aphid species, representing 12 genera, were found infesting 35 medicinal and aromatic plant species under 31 genera encompassing 19 families. Aphis gossypii with 17 host plant species was the most polyphagous species followed by Myzus persicae and Aphis fabae that infested 15 and 12 host plant species respectively. Twenty-two host plant species had multiple aphid species infestation. Sonchus asper was infested by eight aphid species and was followed by Tagetes minuta, Galinosoga perviflora and Chenopodium album that were infested by 7, 6 and 5 aphid species respectively. Asteraceae with 11 host plant species under 10 genera, carrying 13 aphid species under 8 genera was the most aphid- prone plant family. A preliminary systematic checklist of studied aphids and list of host plant species are provided. Key words: Aphids, Medicinal/Aromatic plants, checklist, Poonch, Kashmir, Pakistan.

The list includes records before 1992, which have been published in previous papers, as well as data from an almost ten-year survey using Rothamsted suction traps and Moericke traps. The recorded aphidofauna consisted of 301 species. The family Aphididae is represented by 13 subfamilies and 120 genera (300 species), while only one genus (1 species) belongs to Phylloxeridae. The aphid fauna is dominated by the subfamily Aphidi- nae (57.1 and 68.4 % of the total number of genera and species, respectively), especially the tribe Macrosiphini, and to a lesser extent the subfamily Eriosomatinae (12.6 and 8.3 % of the total number of genera and species, respectively).

This paper examines the changes in the species composition of aphids living in dry calcareous grasslands in Central Europe over a 25-year period. To the best of our knowledge, this is the fi rst analysis of this type in the world that takes into account both previous and current data on species richness as well as groups of aphids that are distinguishable on the basis of biological and ecological criteria such as host-alternation and feeding types, life cycle, ecological niche, symbiosis with ants and their eco- logical functional groups. Over the period of more than 25 years, there has been a signifi cant decrease in aphid α-diversity, from 171 to 105 species.

  • Arthropod Vector Management Strategies in Small Fruits
    Arthropod vector management strategies in small fruits Donn Johnson, University of Arkansas Hannah Burrack, North Carolina State University Virus transmission review Virus transmission involves three time periods - virus acquisition, latent, and inoculation Types of transmission: 1. Non-persistent (mechanical) – very short probing tine to acquire virus, virus sticks to mouthpart and next probing it transmits virus to healthy plant (no latency period) – hard to control 2. Semi-persistent – short acquisition and inoculation period, no latent period and does not retain the virus after it molts 3. Persistent - up to 1 week acquisition period, 1 week latent period (propagate virus in vector), then can inoculate virus to plant and retains virus after molt Integrated Pest Management Minimize Monitor Manage Integrated Pest Management Select virus free plants or resistant varieties Minimize Crop rotation and/or host free periods Monitor vector presence/ transmission risk either Monitor directly, through trapping, or via forecasting models Treat for vectors, either preventatively if risk is known to be high, or at Manage treatment threshold Know Virus Vector & Biology Virus transmission case studies Aphid vectored viruses in southeastern strawberries, 2013 Stunted strawberry plants observed in spring 2013 in FL, GA, SC, NC, and VA http://bit.ly/12WYZeL Virus transmission case studies Aphid vectored viruses in southeastern strawberries, 2013 Determined that plants were infected with: SMYEV: Persistent, circulatively transmitted virus spread by Chaetosiphon

In addition, parasitism rates of cucumber, eggplant, melon, okra, pepper, pumpkin, tomato and aphids were also established. The mean parasitism rate changed between watermelon) grown in Erzincan province, Turkey were determined. 17.5% in 2015 and 4.39% in 2016. The relationship between parasitism Surveys were carried out at weekly intervals from the seedling period rate, total parasitized aphid number and total aphid number were found. until the end of the harvest period in Central and Üzümlü districts of According to the analysis result, there was a very weak or a high positive Erzincan province in 2014-2016. 30-40 plants were randomly selected in correlation (r= 0.126-0.721) between total aphid number and total the surveys and all parts of plants were investigated with a magnifier.

Our finding based on morphological characters is confirmed by analyses of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I sequences. An increase in number and an expansion of the host range were observed during field studies over the past two years, and it is determined that the current host range encompasses nine aphid hosts on 12 different host plants, forming 13 tri-trophic associations. A host range determined for European populations of L. orientalis appears wider compared with that in its Far Eastern native habitats where Aphis glycines Mats.
