June 2011 – Draft sent for CAPS review. August 2011 – Final draft posted on CAPS Resource and Collaboration website. March 2012 – Trap and lure information updated to reflect names used in the IPHIS survey supply ordering system. Lobesia botrana lure effectiveness changed from three to four weeks. New maps added for pests. Leucoptera malifoliella datasheet removed and language added about this pest being unavailable for survey. Minor changes made for a few pest datasheets (host/distribution information primarily). Information about Tort AI- Tortricids of Agricultural Importance, a new diagnostic tool developed by CPHST’s Identification Technology Program, was added where appropriate. June 2013 – Removed ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma australiense’ as a secondary pest of stone fruit. The report of this pest on peach from Bolivia was found to be an error and is likely a related species and not ‘Ca. Phytoplasma australiense’. Therefore, it no longer makes sense to include this pest in the stone fruit manual. Updated CAPS approved methods for ‘Ca. Phytoplasma mali’ and ‘Ca. Phytoplasma prunorum’. October 2013 – Added an updated datasheet for Monilia polystroma and added a datasheet for Monilinia fructigena (a new 2014 AHP pest). August 2016 – Updated mapping information. Removed outdated maps. 4 Introduction to the Reference Introduction to Reference History of Commodity-Based Survey The CAPS community is made up of a large and varied group of individuals from federal, state, and university organizations who utilize federal (and other) funding sources to survey for, and (in some cases) diagnose exotic and invasive plant pests. By finding pests early, eradication efforts will likely be less expensive and more efficient. For more information on CAPS and other Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) pest detection programs see: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/plant_pest_info/pest_detection/index.shtml. Traditionally, states have been given a list of pests. Each year, states choose (from this list) a number of pests to incorporate in their own specialized surveys. There is certainly value in surveying for plant health threats in terms of discreet pests. However, this may not always be the most efficient means of survey. For example, a single pest may occur on a myriad of different hosts, making a comprehensive survey too time consuming and expensive. An alternative method has been suggested. Grouping important pests under the umbrella of a single commodity could be a more efficient way to look for certain pests. The rationale for choosing a commodity survey in certain instances includes the following: • Survey area will be smaller and targeted. • Resources can be better utilized with fewer trips to the field. • Commodities are easy to prioritize in terms of economic and regional (geographic) importance. The Center for Plant Health Science and Technology (CPHST) has been charged to develop a commodity-based survey strategy in support of the CAPS program. There are two types of end products being developed for each commodity. Each product serves a valuable yet unique purpose. The result is a set of paired documents developed for each commodity. A description of these documents is provided below: Commodity-Based Survey Reference (CSR): This document is composed of a series of pest data sheets, mini-pest risk assessments (PRAs), or early detection PRAs. The data sheets are highly graphic and illustrate the biology, survey, and identification

  • Integrated Arthropod Pest Management Systems for Human Health Improvement in Africa
    Insect Sci. Applic. Vol. 23, No. 2, pp. 85-98, 2003 0191-9040/03 $3.00 + 0.00 Printed in Kenya. All rights reserved © 2003 ICIPE MINI REVIEW- INTEGRATED ARTHROPOD PEST MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR HUMAN HEALTH IMPROVEMENT IN AFRICA JOHANN BAUMGARTNER1, FRITZ SCHULTHESS2 AND YUNLONG XIA3 'International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE), P. O. Box 17319, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; 2Postfach 112-4, Chur, Switzerland; international Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE), P. O. Box 30772, Nairobi 00100, Kenya (Accepted 12 March'2003) Abstract— In a sub-Saharan African context, limited natural resources, infectious diseases, including those transmitted by arthropod vectors, and chronic exposure to food contaminated with mycotoxin- producing fungi which, among others, are vectored by insects, are among the major constraints to human health. Thus, pest control should be an important component in human health improvement projects. It appears that the advantages of preventive over curative methods are rarely recognised in Africa, with more emphasis being given to the search for the 'silver bullet' than to integrated control approaches. Integrated pest management (IPM) systems can be assigned to different decision- making levels as well as to different integration levels, combining ecological (individual pest species, species communities, species assemblages) and management (crop, cropping systems, farms, communities) levels with the respective control systems. These levels produce a highly structured environment for decision-making, in which the use of modern information technology is important. Case studies show that IPM systems are developed and implemented at four integration levels, whereby most work is done on the lowest integration level, addressing a single pest or pest complex attacking a particular crop, group of livestock or human population, and the respective control measures undertaken.

  • Large-Scale Gene Expression Reveals Different Adaptations of Hyalopterus Persikonus to Winter and Summer Host Plants
    Insect Science (2017) 24, 431–442, DOI 10.1111/1744-7917.12336 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Large-scale gene expression reveals different adaptations of Hyalopterus persikonus to winter and summer host plants Na Cui1,4,∗, Peng-Cheng Yang2,∗, Kun Guo1,3, Le Kang1,4 and Feng Cui1 1State Key Laboratory of Integrated Management of Pest Insects & Rodents, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101; 2Beijing Institutes of Life Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101; 3Institute of Medicinal Plant Development, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100193, and 4University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China Abstract Host alternation, an obligatory seasonal shifting between host plants of distant genetic relationship, has had significant consequences for the diversification and success of the superfamily of aphids. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the molecular mechanism of host alternation was explored through a large-scale gene expression analysis of the mealy aphid Hyalopterus persikonus on winter and summer host plants. More than four times as many unigenes of the mealy aphid were significantly upregulated on summer host Phragmites australis than on winter host Rosaceae plants. In order to identify gene candidates related to host alternation, the differentially expressed unigenes of H. persikonus were compared to salivary gland expressed genes and secretome of Acyrthosiphon pisum. Genes involved in ribosome and oxidative phosphorylation and with molecular functions of heme–copper terminal oxidase activity, hydrolase activity and ribosome binding were potentially upregulated in salivary glands of H. persikonus on the summer host. Putative secretory proteins, such as detoxification enzymes (carboxylesterases and cytochrome P450s), antioxidant enzymes (peroxidase and superoxide dismutase), glutathione peroxidase, glucose dehydrogenase, angiotensin-converting enzyme, cadherin, and calreticulin, were highly expressed in H.

  • Companion Planting and Insect Pest Control
    Chapter 1 Companion Planting and Insect Pest Control Joyce E. Parker, William E. Snyder, George C. Hamilton and Cesar Rodriguez‐Saona Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/55044 1. Introduction There is growing public concern about pesticides’ non-target effects on humans and other organisms, and many pests have evolved resistance to some of the most commonly-used pesticides. Together, these factors have led to increasing interest in non-chemical, ecologically- sound ways to manage pests [1]. One pest-management alternative is the diversification of agricultural fields by establishing “polycultures” that include one or more different crop varieties or species within the same field, to more-closely match the higher species richness typical of natural systems [2, 3]. After all, destructive, explosive herbivore outbreaks typical of agricultural monocultures are rarely seen in highly-diverse unmanaged communities. There are several reasons that diverse plantings might experience fewer pest problems. First, it can be more difficult for specialized herbivores to “find” their host plant against a back‐ ground of one or more non-host species [4]. Second, diverse plantings may provide a broader base of resources for natural enemies to exploit, both in terms of non-pest prey species and resources such as pollen and nectar provided by the plant themselves, building natural enemy communities and strengthening their impacts on pests [4]. Both host-hiding and encourage‐ ment of natural enemies have the potential to depress pest populations, reducing the need for pesticide applications and increasing crop yields [5, 6]. On the other hand, crop diversification can present management and economic challenges for farmers, making these schemes difficult to implement.

  • Summer Fruit Tortrix Moth Adoxophyes Orana
    Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management/Division of Agriculture Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS) Summer Fruit Tortrix Moth Adoxophyes orana Native to Europe and Asia, the Summer Fruit Tortrix Moth is not known to occur in the U.S. The Summer Fruit Tortrix Moth is most commonly a pest of apple, cherry and pear trees; however it does have a large range of other hosts. Hania Arentsen, Garden Safari, www.forestryimages.org Identifying Features: Adults emerge from late May through late June, FEMALE: from loosely woven cocoons on host plants. Males have a V. Mastro, USDA, APHIS, PPQ 15-19 mm wingspan, with the forewings being light grayish- brown or yellowish-brown in color. They have distinct brown markings. Hind wings are light gray. Females have a 19-22 mm wingspan with dullish, gray-brown forewings and markings which are less distinct than those of males. Female hind wings are brownish-gray. These adults give rise to the first generation of larvae (summer caterpillars). The larvae are 18-22 mm long with a brown head. When mature the head turns a honey- yellow color. The thoracic legs are light brown and the MALE: overall color of the caterpillar is greenish yellow to olive V. Mastro, USDA, APHIS, PPQ green. These adults will produce the second generation of larvae (fall caterpillars) which will overwinter on plants until the following spring. Damage: • Caterpillars cause damage by feeding on the leaves and fruit. • Point-like holes are left in the fruit tissue by larvae. • Before overwintering, fall caterpillars may feed on fruit causing irregular depressions on the surface of the fruit.
