Identification and Ecology of Alternative Insect Vectors Of
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE www.nature.com/scientificreportsprovided by AIR Universita degli studi di Milano OPEN Identifcation and ecology of alternative insect vectors of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ to grapevine Fabio Quaglino1, Francesco Sanna2, Abdelhameed Moussa 1, Monica Faccincani3, Alessandro Passera1, Paola Casati1, Piero Attilio Bianco1 & Nicola Mori 2* Bois noir, a disease of the grapevine yellows complex, is associated with ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ and transmitted to grapevines in open felds by the cixiids Hyalesthes obsoletus and Reptalus panzeri. In vine-growing areas where the population density of these vectors is low within the vineyard, the occurrence of bois noir implies the existence of alternative vectors. The aim of this study was to identify alternative vectors through screening of the Auchenorrhyncha community, phytoplasma typing by stamp gene sequence analyses, and transmission trials. During feld activities, conducted in Northern Italy in a vineyard where the bois noir incidence was extremely high, nine potential alternative insect vectors were identifed according to high abundance in the vineyard agro-ecosystem, high infection rate, and harbouring phytoplasma strains characterized by stamp gene sequence variants found also in symptomatic grapevines. Transmission trials coupled with molecular analyses showed that at least eight species (Aphrodes makarovi, Dicranotropis hamata, Dictyophara europaea, Euscelis incisus, Euscelidius variegatus, Laodelphax striatella, Philaenus spumarius, and Psammotettix alienus/confnis) are alternative vectors of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ to grapevines. These novel fndings highlight that bois noir epidemiology in vineyard agro-ecosystems is more complex than previously known, opening up new perspectives in the disease management. Bois noir (BN), a disease of the grapevine yellows (GY) complex, causes serious crop losses in wine-making grape varieties in the Euro-Mediterranean area and in other vine-growing countries. -

Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae biologicae (Brno) 90: 195–207. – Leafhoppers, planthoppers and psyllids light-trapped into streetlamps were examined at two sites in complex ruderal habitats (fields, annual and perennial ruderal vegetation, scrub with ruderal and alien species) in Slatina, on the periphery of the city of Brno in South Moravia. A total of 1628 specimens and 61 species were found. Among the dominant species were Empoasca vitis, E. decipiens, E. pteridis, Macrosteles laevis, Psammotettix alienus, Javesella pellucida, Laodelphax striatella, Zyginidia pullula, Kybos lindbergi, and Edwardsiana rosae. Noteworthy are records of Kybos calyculus and Oncopsis appendiculata (both new for the Czech Republic), several rare species living in dry ruderal grassland (Recilia horvathi, Macrosteles quadripunctulatus, Balclutha saltuella), and hygrophilous species caught on dispersal flight (Pentastiridius leporinus, Calamotettix taeniatus, Cicadula placida, Limotettix striola, and Paramesus major). Key words. Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Psylloidea, ruderal habitats, city fauna, light traps, streetlamps, Czech Republic, South Moravia, faunistics, new records. Introduction Leafhoppers (Cicadomorpha), planthoppers (Fulgoromorpha) and psyllids (Sternorrhyncha: Psylloidea) are phytophagous insects belonging to the order Hemiptera. They suck plant sap, mostly from phloem vessels, some groups feed on xylem or mesophyll tissues. -

E-mail: [email protected] 2Research Branch, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, K.W. Neatby Building, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1A 0C6. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The new genus Aethodelphax gen. nov. is described to include one new species, Aethodelphax prairianus sp. nov. and 7 species transferred from Delphacodes: Aethodelphax aetocephalus (Beamer, 1948), comb. nov., A. alatus (Beamer, 1948), comb. nov., A. caninus (Beamer, 1947), comb. nov., A. concavus (Beamer, 1948), comb. nov., A. megadontus (Beamer, 1951), comb. nov., A. paraparvulus (Beamer, 1948), comb. nov., and A. sagittatus (Beamer, 1947), comb. nov. A diagnosis for all species, illustrations and an identification key is provided. All species are found in the midwestern and southeastern states of the U.S., except A. caninus which is recorded from Arizona and New Mexico, and are all associated with native grasslands. Key words: Delphacidae, Fulgoroidea, Delphacodes, new genus, new species Introduction This study reports a new and locally common species of Delphacidae that appears to be restricted to bluestem grasses, Andropogon spp., in native tallgrass prairies. It is superficially similar to the widespread bluestem special- ist Muirodelphax parvula (Ball) (see Hamilton & Kwon 2010) and has probably been overlooked until now in grassland surveys. -

INTRODUCTION Planthoppers and leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha et Cicadomorpha) are phytophagous insects which are highly related to their host plants, and most of them are trophically specialized as mono- or oligophagous (niCkel 2003), so most of them are attached to the specific plant associations, where they form multispecies communities. -

Homologies of the Head of Membracoidea Based on Nymphal Morphology with Notes on Other Groups of Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera)
Eur. J. Entomol. 107: 597–613, 2010 http://www.eje.cz/scripts/viewabstract.php?abstract=1571 ISSN 1210-5759 (print), 1802-8829 (online) Homologies of the head of Membracoidea based on nymphal morphology with notes on other groups of Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera) DMITRY A. DMITRIEV Illinois Natural History Survey, Institute of Natural Resource Sustainability at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, Illinois, USA; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Hemiptera, Membracoidea, Cicadellidae, Cicadoidea, Cercopoidea, Fulgoroidea, head, morphology, ground plan Abstract. The ground plan and comparative morphology of the nymphal head of Membracoidea are presented with particular emphasis on the position of the clypeus, frons, epistomal suture, and ecdysial line. Differences in interpretation of the head structures in Auchenorrhyncha are discussed. Membracoidea head may vary more extensively than heads in any other group of insects. It is often modified by the development of an anterior carina, which apparently was gained and lost multiple times within Membracoidea. The main modifications of the head of Membracoidea and comparison of those changes with the head of other superfamilies of Auchenorrhyncha are described. INTRODUCTION MATERIAL AND METHODS The general morphology of the insect head is relatively Dried and pinned specimens were studied under an Olympus well studied (Ferris, 1942, 1943, 1944; Cook, 1944; SZX12 microscope with SZX-DA drawing tube attachment. DuPorte, 1946; Snodgrass, 1947; Matsuda, 1965; Detailed study of internal structures and boundaries of sclerites Kukalová-Peck, 1985, 1987, 1991, 1992, 2008). There is based on examination of exuviae and specimens cleared in are also a few papers in which the hemipteran head is 5% KOH.
