Diagnostic Notes There are several species of the cossid moth genus _Chilecomadia_ in South America: - _Chilecomadia discoclathratus_ Bryk 1945 - _Chilecomadia moorei_ Silva Figuero 1915 - _Chilecomadia munroei_ (Clench, 1957) - _Chilecomadia valdiviana_ Philippi 1860 - _Chilecomadia zeuzerina_ Bryk 1945 The larvae of _Chilecomadia moorei_, called the Chilean Moth or Butterworm of Trevo worm, is commercially collected and sold in the pet food trade. The carpentar worm, _Chilecomadia valdiviana_, is pest species. The larvae feed on _Nothofagus_ and _Salix_ species and are considered a pest in Chilean Eucalyptus plantations. They have been reported on _Eucalyptus globulus globulus, Eucalyptus nitens, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Eucalyptus delegatensis_ and _Eucalyptus viminalis_. Adult females forewing span 48 and 60 mm and body length about 30-40mm, forewings with mottled colours of grey, ash, brown and white; each forewing with two distinct triangles (one in the chorda - the base of the R veins; and a second at the base of the CuA and CuP veins) of white, yellow and black scales; hindwings brown, sometimes withtwo or three white spots. Body is heavily covered with grey-silver hairs, the side of the abdomen has banded black and brown hair; legs banded. Males, have a wingspan of 42 - 48 mm, are darker and more diffuse than the females. The antennaes in both sexes are similar. 2.6. References Lanfranco, D., H. S. Dungey (2001).

  • The Entomofauna on Eucalyptus in Israel: a Review
    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGYENTOMOLOGY ISSN (online): 1802-8829 Eur. J. Entomol. 116: 450–460, 2019 http://www.eje.cz doi: 10.14411/eje.2019.046 REVIEW The entomofauna on Eucalyptus in Israel: A review ZVI MENDEL and ALEX PROTASOV Department of Entomology, Institute of Plant Protection, Agricultural Research Organization, The Volcani Center, Rishon LeTzion 7528809, Israel; e-mails: [email protected], [email protected] Key words. Eucalyptus, Israel, invasive species, native species, insect pests, natural enemies Abstract. The fi rst successful Eucalyptus stands were planted in Israel in 1884. This tree genus, particularly E. camaldulensis, now covers approximately 11,000 ha and constitutes nearly 4% of all planted ornamental trees. Here we review and discuss the information available about indigenous and invasive species of insects that develop on Eucalyptus trees in Israel and the natural enemies of specifi c exotic insects of this tree. Sixty-two phytophagous species are recorded on this tree of which approximately 60% are indigenous. The largest group are the sap feeders, including both indigenous and invasive species, which are mostly found on irrigated trees, or in wetlands. The second largest group are wood feeders, polyphagous Coleoptera that form the dominant native group, developing in dying or dead wood. Most of the seventeen parasitoids associated with the ten invasive Eucalyptus-specifi c species were introduced as biocontrol agents in classical biological control projects. None of the polyphagous species recorded on Eucalyptus pose any threat to this tree. The most noxious invasive specifi c pests, the gall wasps (Eulophidae) and bronze bug (Thaumastocoris peregrinus), are well controlled by introduced parasitoids.

    Clinical Approach to Ferret Lymphoma La’Toya Latney, DVM University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA Lymphoma connotes a solid-tissue tumor composed of neoplastic lymphocytes in visceral organs, skin, or lymph nodes throughout the body (Antinoff). To date, lymphoma is the most common malignant neoplasia reported in the domestic ferret at 10-15% of all neoplastic presentations in the US and Europe, and lymphoma is the third most common neoplasia of ferrets, behind adrenocortical neoplasia and insulinoma. It is documented as a spontaneous neoplasia (Mayer, Quesenberry), however there have been reports of horizontal transmission via cell and cell-free inoculation (Erdman), which suggests that there may a viral etiology, however an agent has never been reported. There is one report of Helicobacter mustelidae-associated (MALT) gastric B-cell lymphoma (Erdman), and this syndrome appears to mimic gastric B cell lymphoma caused H.pylori in humans. Ferret lymphoma can occur across a number of age groups and has no specific sex predilections. In the early literature describing the disease, ferret lymphoma was classified by age of onset and assigned distinct prognosis, i.e. the aggressive and quickly fatal juvenile onset lymphoma form and the adult chronic onset form. This generalized classification scheme has been since retracted due to new clinical reports that reveal there is no specific age and cell-type trend. Most resources characterize lymphoma by cell line, i.e. large cell, lymphoblastic lymphoma (T cell) or small cell, lymphocytic lymphoma (B cell). Finally, there are several studies that report disease based on location, which include but are not limited to multicentric lymphoma (Ferreira), cutaneous lymphoma (Xi, Rosenbaum), malignant B-cell lymphoma with Mott cell differentiation (Gupta), polyostotic lymphoma (Long), epitheliotropic gastrointestinal T-cell lymphoma (Sinclair), focal thoracolumbar spinal cord lymphoma (Ingrao), myelo-osteolytic plasmacytic lymphoma in the femur (Eshar), and gastrointestinal lymphoma (Lee).

  • A Survey of Cossid Moth Attack in Eucalyptus Niten$ on the Mpumalanga Highveld of South Africa G
    Research Note A survey of cossid moth attack in Eucalyptus niten$ on the Mpumalanga Highveld of South Africa G. R. Boreham Sappi Forests Research, Shaw Research Centre, P.O. Box 473, Howick, 3290 Email: [email protected] SYNOPSIS During July 2004, an infestation of an unknown larval insect in ten- year and older Eucalyptus nitens was reported on the Mpumalanga highveld of South Mrica. Samples of wood containing larvae were collected from the field and taken to the Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute, University of Pretoria. The adult specimens were subsequently identified by the Transvaal Museum as the native Coryphodema tristis. No records have been found ofthe insect on any member ofthe Myrtaceae. Atotal of approximately 3000 hectares ofE. nitens, within 95 compartments greater than eight years of age on the Mpumalanga Highveld were surveyed in September 2004. The older age classes and lower elevation sites had significantly higher infestations than the younger, higher elevation sites. Low infestations are present in young stands ofE. nitens « 6 years of age), and not restricted to lower productivity sites, an indication that the pest risk potential is higher than originally anticipated. Keywords: Cossid moth, Euc. nitens, wood borer, Coryphodema INTRODUCTION patersonii (Malvaceae) (Taylor, 1957). Other host plants include the bush willow (Combretum) (Picker During July 2004, the first signs ofinfestation by an et al., 2002), and other exotic ornamentals such as unknown insect in teh- year and older Eucalyp• oak, elm and hawthorn (Annecke & Moran, 1982). tus nitens compartments were reported by foresters Eight host plant records from the families Rosaceae, on the Mpumalanga highveld of South Africa.

Although the majority of consumed insects are gathered in forest habitats, mass-rearing systems are being developed in many countries. Insects offer a significant opportunity to merge traditional knowledge and modern science to improve human food security worldwide. This publication describes the contribution of insects to food security and examines future prospects for raising insects at a commercial scale to improve food and feed production, diversify diets, and support livelihoods in both developing and developed countries. It shows the many traditional and potential new uses of insects for direct human consumption and the opportunities for and constraints to farming them for food and feed. It examines the body of research on issues such as insect nutrition and food safety, the use of insects as animal feed, and the processing and preservation of insects and their products. It highlights the need to develop a regulatory framework to govern the use of insects for food security. And it presents case studies and examples from around the world. Edible insects are a promising alternative to the conventional production of meat, either for direct human consumption or for indirect use as feedstock.

  • Analytic Hierarchy Process Prioritized Pest List
    Analytic Hierarchy Process Prioritized Pest List For FY 2009 Overview The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Prioritized Pest List for 2009 is a ranked list of 108 pests that are expected to cause damage to agricultural and/or natural resources if introduced into the United States. The prioritized pest list includes arthropods, pathogens, weeds, mollusks, and nematodes. We obtained pests from various sources (see tab Pest Sources for AHP PPL ). Subject matter experts in biology, economics, and agricultural quarantine inspection evaluated each pest against a weighted set of criteria. We grouped the criteria into the following categories: entry potential, establishment potential, potential for post-establishment proliferation and spread, economic impact , and non-economic impact. By combining the extent to which a pest fulfilled the set of criteria (determined by subject matter experts) with the criteria weights (determined by the National CAPS Committee), each pest received a score. The result is the prioritized pest list shown on tab AHP PPL_Prioritized . New for 2009 A new set of guidelines for pest listing was applied to the 2009 AHP Prioritized Pest List: Pests cannot be established in the conterminous United States (even if the distribution is limited) Pests cannot be considered non-reportable by PPQ Still in effect: Program pests with funding for national survey are not included in the AHP Prioritized Pest List We made the following changes to the 2009 AHP Prioritized Pest List: By applying the above guidelines, we removed 47 pests

  • Parallel Host Range Expansion in Two Unrelated Cossid Moths Infesting
    Parallel host range expansion in two unrelated cossid moths infesting Eucalyptus nitens on two continents Dawit Tesfaye Degefu1,2, Brett Hurley2,3, Jeff Garnas2,3, Michael J. Wingfield2, Rodrigo Ahumada4 and Bernard Slippers1,2 1Department of Genetics, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa 2 Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute (FABI), University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa 3Department of Zoology and Entomology, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa 4Bioforest S.A., Casilla 70-C, Concepción, Chile Abstract. 1. Two cossid moths, Coryphodema tristis and Chilecomadia valdiviana, have recently become pests on Eucalyptus nitens in South Africa and Chile, respectively. Both C. tristis and C. valdiviana have large host ranges and high levels of similarity in their host distributions. Their infestations of E. nitens are the first records of these moths on Myrtaceae. 2. The contemporaneous adoption of E. nitens as a novel host, despite widespread availability of native and introduced Myrtaceae, suggests a non-random pattern of invasion. Phylogenetic relatedness among the two species linked to cryptic invasion of one or both moths at some time in the recent past provides a possible explanation for this pattern. 1 3. To test this hypothesis, variation in mtDNA sequences for the COI gene of C. tristis and C. valdiviana were analyzed. The COI mtDNA sequence data showed that C. tristis and C. valdiviana are highly divergent genetically, indicating that both are native on their respective continents with independent evolutionary trajectories. 4. The parallel host range expansions to E. nitens on different continents appear to be unrelated events, likely driven by characteristics of the biology and / or ecology of the host.
