  • I EFFECTS of EUCALYPTUS GALL WASP, Leptocybe Invasa
    i EFFECTS OF EUCALYPTUS GALL WASP, Leptocybe invasa (HYMENOPTERA: EULOPHIDAE) ON GROWTH AND WOOD BASIC DENSITY OF SOME EUCALYPTUS SPECIES, TANZANIA REVOCATUS PETRO A THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE. MOROGORO, TANZANIA. 2015 ii EXTENDED ABSTRACT Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), also known as Blue Gum Chalcid (BGC) is native to Australia. The pest was first recorded in the Mediterranean region in 2000 causing severe injury to young foliage of Eucalyptus camaldulensis by inducing galls mainly on growing shoots. The pest was first reported in Tanzania in 2005 and has recently become a problem by infesting a range of commercially grown Eucalyptus species. The purpose of this study was to determine infestation density and assess the effects of L. invasa on growth, biomass production and wood basic density of some Eucalyptus species in Tanzania. Results showed that, trees in the Coastal were more infested, followed by Plateaux while trees in the Southern highlands agro-ecological zone were least infested. Eucalyptus tereticornis was more infested followed by E. camaldulensis while E. saligna was the least infested. Eucalyptus citriodora and E. grandis were not infested. The mean Dbh of infested trees were reduced by 7.8%, 2.1% and 13.6% and mean heights were reduced by 6.6%, 9.5% and 3.8% compared to uninfested ones for E. camaldulensis, E. tereticornis and E. saligna respectively. The mean basal area of infested trees were reduced by 16.4%, 17.1% and 24.5% and mean volume were reduced by 17.8%, 16.1% and 23.1% for E.

  • Sensory Gene Identification in the Transcriptome of the Ectoparasitoid
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Sensory gene identifcation in the transcriptome of the ectoparasitoid Quadrastichus mendeli Zong‑You Huang, Xiao‑Yun Wang, Wen Lu & Xia‑Lin Zheng* Sensory genes play a key role in the host location of parasitoids. To date, the sensory genes that regulate parasitoids to locate gall‑inducing insects have not been uncovered. An obligate ectoparasitoid, Quadrastichus mendeli Kim & La Salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Tetrastichinae), is one of the most important parasitoids of Leptocybe invasa, which is a global gall‑making pest in eucalyptus plantations. Interestingly, Q. mendeli can precisely locate the larva of L. invasa, which induces tumor‑like growth on the eucalyptus leaves and stems. Therefore, Q. mendeli–L. invasa provides an ideal system to study the way that parasitoids use sensory genes in gall‑making pests. In this study, we present the transcriptome of Q. mendeli using high‑throughput sequencing. In total, 31,820 transcripts were obtained and assembled into 26,925 unigenes in Q. mendeli. Then, the major sensory genes were identifed, and phylogenetic analyses were performed with these genes from Q. mendeli and other model insect species. Three chemosensory proteins (CSPs), 10 gustatory receptors (GRs), 21 ionotropic receptors (IRs), 58 odorant binding proteins (OBPs), 30 odorant receptors (ORs) and 2 sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMPs) were identifed in Q. mendeli by bioinformatics analysis. Our report is the frst to obtain abundant biological information on the transcriptome of Q. mendeli that provided valuable information regarding the molecular basis of Q. mendeli perception, and it may help to understand the host location of parasitoids of gall‑making pests.

  • Csl Pest Risk Analysis for Ophelimus Maskelli Stage 1
    CSL Pest Risk Analysis for Ophelimus maskelli copyright CSL, 2007 CSL PEST RISK ANALYSIS FOR OPHELIMUS MASKELLI STAGE 1: PRA INITIATION 1. What is the name of the pest? Ophelimus maskelli (Ashmead, 1900) Hymenoptera Eulophidae A gall wasp of Eucalyptus Notes on taxonomy: Originally described as Pteroptrix maskelli by Ashmead in 1900, this organism was reclassified within the primitive Genus Ophelimus as part of the extensive revision of Australasian Chalcidoidea by Boucek (1988). The biology and taxonomy of Ophelimus is little studied and poorly known. Ophelimus is a very large genus with lots of undescribed species and no one has produced a key to species (Protasov et al., 2007). Specimens found spreading around the Mediterranean previously identified as O. eucalypti (e.g. Viggiani & Nicotina, 2001) are actually O. maskelli (Tilbury & Jukes, 2006; Protasov et al., 2007). 2. What is the reason for the PRA? In November 2004, Eucalyptus trees at a retail plant nursery in Yorkshire were found to have leaves infested with galls, suspected as either O. eucalypti, O. maskelli or Leptocybe invasa. Since no adults were present with the sample, the diagnosis could not be taken further (CSL unpublished data). In April 2005 a species of gall-causing eulophid wasp, new to the UK, was found in private gardens in London (Lambeth and Wimbledon) (Tilbury & Jukes, 2006). The identity of the organism has not been confirmed but it is very similar to O. maskelli and it could be an intraspecific variant of O. maskelli or an undescribed species of Ophelimus1. This PRA assumes that the organism in London will be confirmed as O.

  • Pest Fact Sheet: Blue Gum Chalcid
    Asia - Pacific Forest Invasive Species Network Pest Fact Sheet A P F I S N The Asia-Pacific Forest Invasive Species Network (APFISN) has been established as a response to the immense costs and dangers posed by invasive species to the sustainable management of forests in the Asia-Pacific region. APFISN is a cooperative alliance of the 32 member countries in the Asia-Pacific Forestry Commission (APFC) - a statutory body of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The network focuses on inter-country cooperation that helps to detect, prevent, monitor, eradicate and/or control forest invasive species in the Asia-Pacific region. Specific objectives of the network are: 1) raise awareness of invasive species throughout the Asia-Pacific region; 2) define and develop organizational structures; 3) build capacity within member countries and 4) develop and share databases and information. Scientific name: Leptocybe invasa Common name: Blue Gum Chalcid Taxonomic position: Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta; Order: Hymenoptera Family: Eulophidae Introduction: Leptocybe invasa, Fisher & La Salle, commonly called Blue Gum Chalcid, is a newly described gall- inducing wasp species currently spreading in many countries and causing damage to young eucalypt plantations and nurseries. Galls induced by this wasp can cause serious injuries to trees, thereby weakening them. Information on the taxonomy, distribution, biology and economic impacts of the Blue Gum Chalcid are still meager. Distribution: Believed to be a native of Australia, where its distribution is still unknown, the wasp has spread to most eucalypt-growing countries in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe, North America and the Near East.

MALTA (2012) Vol. 5 : 189-193 Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle, 2004 and Ophelimus maskelli Haliday, 1844 - two new records of gall forming Eulophidae from Malta (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) David MIFSUD1 The Eulophidae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) currently accommodates more than 4,000 described species worldwide in some 300 genera (NOYES, 2003). In Europe, the family is represented by about 1,100 species (GAULD & BOLTON, 1988). Eleven species have previously been recorded from Malta in various scattered publications, but of these only two were reported as occurring in Malta in the Fauna Europaea database (MITROIU, 2004). The purpose of the present work is to add a further two new records of the family from Malta bringing the total number of species known from these islands to 13, and to bring together the previously recorded species in the form of a short annotated list with references. Most species of Eulophidae are primarily solitary parasitoids of eggs, larvae or pupae of various phytophagous insects. Other species are known to be gall-formers and are mainly restricted to two groups, Ophelimini and Tetrastichinae (LA SALLE, 2005). The Ophelimini is a small tribe with species native to Australia and currently accommodates two genera: Australsecodes and Ophelimus. The latter genus contains some 50 described species, most of which seem to be associated with plant galls. Species within the subfamily Tetrastichinae exhibit a wide range of biology from parasitoids of a wide range of insects, spider egg sacks, mites and nematodes in galls (LA SALLE, 1994) to phytophagous species including some true gall inducers (LA SALLE, 2005).

Abstract Aim of study: To analyze the susceptibility of Eucalyptus and hybrids species to Leptocybe invasa through field assays. Area of study: The north of the Argentine province of Misiones (Colonia Delicia). Material and methods: A total of 11 Eucalyptus species and 2 hybrids were surveyed for damage and severity of L. invasa infestation. Six evaluations were made during an annual period. Main results: The susceptibility ranking to L. invasa from highest to lowest was E. tereticornis > E. propinqua > E. dunni > E. camaldulensis > E. grandis > E. major > E. longistrata > E. grandis × E. camaldulensis. However, E. moluccana, E. urophylla × E. grandis and E. urophylla were tolerant to L. invasa. Research highlights: This study suggests that in Misiones, E. tereticornis is the most sensible eucalyptus species to gall wasp attack, whereas other species and hybrids presented low damage levels or tolerance to L.

  • Predicting the Distribution of the Invasive Species Leptocybe Invasa: Combining Maxent and Geodetector Models
    insects Article Predicting the Distribution of the Invasive Species Leptocybe invasa: Combining MaxEnt and Geodetector Models Hua Zhang *, Jinyue Song *, Haoxiang Zhao, Ming Li and Wuhong Han College of Geography and Environment Science, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, China; [email protected] (H.Z.); [email protected] (M.L.); [email protected] (W.H.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (H.Z.); [email protected] (J.S.) Simple Summary: Leptocybe invasa is a global eucalyptus plantation invasive pest and the second alien invasive species in China. In this study, based on the current distribution data of L. invasa in China, combined with a geographic detector model and MaxEnt model, the main environmental variables were selected, and potential suitable growth areas of L. invasa in China in 2030 and 2050 were predicted. The results show that under the future climate change scenario, the potential distribution core areas of L. invasa in China will be located in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hainan, and tend to spread to high latitudes (Hubei, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and other regions). Combined with the results of predicting the potential suitable zone in this study, we can clearly identify its diffusion trend, which has important theoretical significance for curbing the growth and development of L. invasa and formulating effective control measures. Abstract: Leptocybe invasa is a globally invasive pest of eucalyptus plantations, and is steadily spread throughout China. Predicting the growth area of L. invasa in China is beneficial to the establishment of early monitoring, forecasting, and prevention of this pest. Based on 194 valid data points and 21 environmental factors of L.
