The Committee's original goal of fosteringcommun ication and an overview of ongoing research has been continuedand accomplished in this meeting. The proceedings document the effortsof many individuals: those who made the meeting possible, those who made presentations, and those who compiled and edited the proceedings. But more than that, the proceedings illustrate the depthand breadth of studies being supported by the agencies and it is satisfying,indeed, that all of this can be accomplished in a cooperative spirit.

  • A Computer Model of the Gypsy Moth and Its Fungal Pathogen 5
    Abstract A one-host generation computer model, with a time-step of 1 day, has been developed to simulate the interaction between the very effective fungal pathogen, Entomophaga maimaiga, and its host, the gypsy moth. This publication describes the structure of the validated model, the kinds of model inputs needed and the outputs produced, and gives examples of model results. The model can be used to construct scenarios of future gypsy moth-fungus interactions and to evaluate the effectiveness of the fungus as a biological control agent.

Weseloh The gypsy moth fungal pathogen, Entomophaga rroper weather conditions are very impoftant for the maimaiga, was first found to be established in North fungus to be effective.

  • The Gypsy Moth Fungus
    The Gypsy Moth Fungus Linda Butler Professor of Entomology Division of Plant and Soil Sciences West Virginia University 1998 In recent years, dramatic collapses of gypsy moth populations in the eastern states are due, in large part, to the fungus Entomophaga maimaiga. A native of Japan, this fungus is a natural enemy of gypsy moth larvae. Questions have arisen as to the origin of the fungus in North America. The "gypsy fungus" was collected in Japan and deliberately released near Boston between 1910 and 1911, but subsequent studies did not recover it. Spring of 1989 was particularly rainy in the Northeast when gypsy moth populations appeared to be increasing. When larval population collapses were noticed, examination of larval cadavers revealed spores of an entomophthoralean fungus soon shown to be E. maimaiga. Dr. Ann Hajek (Cornell University) has evaluated many possibilities as to origin of the fungus identified in 1989. She and her co-workers concluded the most likely scenarios are that the weak fungus introduced in 1910 evolved into a virulent strain or that the fungus was accidentally introduced recently into the Northeast (Hajek et al. 1995). How does the fungus spread? The fungus can be inadvertently or deliberately spread by humans moving soil or gypsy moth larval cadavers containing the resting spores, but the conidiaspores (produced on the outside of the caterpillar body) are small and airborne enabling rapid natural spread. "Such rapid spread was completely unexpected and has never before been documented for an entomopathogenic fungus" (Hajek et al. 1996). How much impact does the fungus have on defoliating populations of gypsy moth? We have only to look at gypsy moth defoliation figures for the northeastern and mid-Atlantic states to see the effect of the fungus.

Lenli Claude Otoidobiga 11 Abstract Ph.D Lenli Claude Otoidobiga Natural Resource Sciences Field and laboratory investigations were conducted in Burkina Faso to diagnose the causes of severe outbreaks of Bemisia tabaci populations and gênerai failures of chemical control against this pest in cotton. The research efforts were oriented in the following three areas: I) The susceptibilité of B. tabaci populations and its parasitoids to cotton insecticides. Insecticides hâve been and will likely remain the primary tools employed to control Bemisia tabaci. However repeated applications hâve often resulted in B. tabaci developing résistance to numerous conventional insecticides throughout the world. The need for promoting judicious insecticide use in association with other management practices led me to investigate the status of B. tabaci and its parasitoids susceptibility to conventional and novel insecticides. a) Conventional insecticides. Research was conducted in 14 cotton fields (3 to 10 ha) selected in 7 localities (two fields per locality), with the objectives to: 1) estimate Bemisia tabaci Gennadus (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) population abundance, 2) assess the levels of parasitism by Encarsia spp. and Eretmocerus spp. (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae), and 3) estimate the susceptibilities of the pest and those of the parasites Eretmocerus spp.

Štúra 2, SK – 960 53 Zvolen, Slovak Republic Abstract The density of phytophagous insect pest populations is related (directly and indirectly) to several groups of factors that can be broadly divided into: abiotic, biotic and anthropogenic. Each extreme in the abiotic environment at a macro-level leads to a series of consecutive extremes in the biotic environment, which eventually results in micro-level responses in the individual organisms. The manifestation of factors acts in aggregate or in a sequence, creating a chain of processes around us. Insects very efficiently use the abundance of nutritional resources, resulting in a tre- mendous increase in their population density, and triggering control mechanisms through the emergence of parasitic and pathogenic infections (viruses, bacteria, fungi, microsporidia, protozoa and nematodes). The development of entomopathogenic infections in host populations is directly dependent on the characteristics of both the antagonist and the insect. It is associated with the lifestyle and life cycle of the insect, with features encoded in the mechanism of pathogen action, and limited by the pathogen’s virulence and pathogenicity.
