P.C. Nicot, INRA Preface One of the Research Activities (RA 4.3) of the European Network for Durable Exploitation of crop protection strategies (ENDURE*) has brought together representatives of industry and scientists from several European countries with experience ranging from fundamental biology to applied field work on biological control against pests and diseases. The unique diversity of expertise and concerns allowed the group to set up very complementary approaches to tackle the issue of the factors of success of biocontrol. The initial part of the work accomplished by this group consisted in a thorough review of scientific literature published on all types of biological control. Although it had to be focused on selected key European crops and their major pests and pathogens, this review is unique in the scope of the topics it covered and in the comprehensive inventories it allowed to gather on the potential of biocontrol and factors of success at field level. In parallel with identifying knowledge gaps and key factors from published research, information was gathered on aspects linked to the production and commercialization of biocontrol agents. These results, complemented by the views of experts in the field of biocontrol consulted at the occasion of meetings of IOBC-wprs, allowed the identification of majors gaps in knowledge and bottlenecks for the successful deployment of biocontrol and lead to the proposition of key issues for future work by the research community, the field of development and prospects for technological improvement by industry.

In an attempt to evaluate the insects temperature adaptations that play a significant role in its establishment potential, life table parameters and the effect of temperature on its fecundity, longevity, host-instar choice, superparasitism and host feeding were studied. Tests were conducted at 20, 25 and 30 ± 0.5 °C with 60 ± 10% RH and a 14L:10D photoperiod. S. petiolatus oviposition period was 21.05 ± 2.54 days at 30 °C but as short as 2.25 ± 0.23 days at 20 °C. Fecundity had a maximum value (173.3 ± 27.09) at 30 °C followed by 143.57 ± 22.67 and 5.13 ± 0.81 at 25 and 20 °C, respectively while, 28.57% of the females failed to oviposit at 20 °C. Female longevity averaged between 25.20 and 20.57 days at 30 and 25 °C, respectively but dropped to just 5.77 days at 20 °C.

Carotenogenic yeasts are effective microbial factories for the biosynthesis of a broad spectrum of biomolecules that can be used in the food and feed industry and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as a source of biofuels. In the study, we examined the effect of different nitrogen sources, carbon sources and CN ratios on the co-production of intracellular lipids, carotenoids, β–glucans and extracellular glycolipids. Yeast strain R. kratochvilovae CCY 20-2-26 was identified as the best co-producer of lipids (66.7 ± 1.5% of DCW), exoglycolipids (2.42 ± 0.08 g/L), β-glucan (11.33 ± 1.34% of DCW) and carotenoids (1.35 ± 0.11 mg/g), with a biomass content of 15.2 ± 0.8 g/L, by using the synthetic medium with potassium nitrate and mannose as a carbon source.

(type species: E. kapleri sp. nov.) from Malaysia, Sabah is described, and its taxonomic placement is discussed. The current concept of the phylogeny and classification of Histeridae is critically examined. Based on cladistic analysis of 50 taxa and 29 characters of adult Histeridae a new hypothesis of phylogeny of the family is presented. In the concordance with the proposed phylogeny, the family is divided into three groups: Niponiomorphae (incl. Niponiinae), Abraeomorphae and Histeromorphae. The Abraeomorphae includes: Abraeinae, Saprininae, Dendrophilinae and Trypanaeinae. The Histeromorphae is divided into 4 subfamilies: Histerinae, Onthophilinae, Chlamydopsinae and Hetaeriinae.

December 2009 Copyright © 2009 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i ABSTRACT Pseudococcus viburni (Signoret) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) (obscure mealybug), is a common and serious pest of apples and pears in South Africa. Consumer and regulatory pressure to produce commodities under sustainable and ecologically compatible conditions has rendered chemical control options increasingly limited. Information on the seasonal occurrence of pests is but one of the vital components of an effective and sustainable integrated pest management system needed for planning the initiation of monitoring and determining when damage can be expected. It is also important to identify which orchards are at risk of developing mealybug infestations while development of effective and early monitoring tools for mealybug populations will help growers in making decisions with regards to pest management and crop suitability for various markets.

To elucidate the transmission biology in South Africa, acquisition access periods (AAPs), inoculation access periods (IAPs) and the retention of the virus in starving and feeding first- to second instar nymphs were determined. The rootstock hybrid LN33 served as virus source and grapevines (Vitis vinifera L., cv. Cabernet franc) served as recipient plants. An AAP of 15 min or an IAP of 15 min was sufficient forPl. ficus to acquire or transmit GLRaV-3, respectively. Nymphs of Pl. ficus retained the virus for at least eight days when feeding on a non-virus host and grapevine, and for at least two days when starving, and were then capable of transmitting it successfully to healthy grapevine plants. Nymphs of Ps. longispinus transmitted the virus after an AAP of 30 min and an IAP of 1 h.

    1) Express – PRA for Pseudococcus viburni Prepared by: Julius Kühn-Institut, Institute for Plant Health; Dr. Gritta Schrader, Silke Steinmöller, Dr. Peter Baufeld; 10-03-2013; translated by Elke Vogt-Arndt Initiation: Occurrence in Baden-Württemberg in the open field, according to notification at least since 2010 Express - PRA Pseudococcus viburni (Signoret) Phytosanitary Risk for high medium low Germany Phytosanitary Risk for high medium low EU-MS Certainty of Assessment high medium low Conclusion The mealybug Pseudococcus viburni is endemic in the neotropics. In 2010, it was detected for the first time in Germany in the open field in Baden-Württemberg. For some time it occurs in the indoor green plants in Germany. Up to now the pest is neither listed in the annexes of Directive 2000/29/EC nor by EPPO. The range of host plants of P. viburni comprises at least 296 host plants from 87 families. The mealybug can spread via infested host plant material, tools and machines. Natural spread in the open field occurs only to a minor degree via nymph stages on the plant and in the crop. Damage occurs on ornamentals in glasshouses and on indoor green plants as well as in outdoor crops, mainly due to quality loss caused by suction damage, secretion of honeydew, establishment of mould and weakening of plants (f. e. on apples and pears in South Africa) as well as by transmission of the leaf- roll disease of grape vine. Due to the establishment in the open field in the central Neckar region in Baden-Württemberg the damage potential by mealybugs and associated viruses has significantly increased on outdoor crops, especially in fruit production and viticulture.

Rosa made all our recent c occoid identifications and trained one of us (SC) in Hemiptera Sternorrhyncha slide preparation and identification. The idea of publishing this article was largely hers. Thus we dedicate this article to our late and dear Rosa. Rosa Henderson† nous a quittés prématurément le 13 décembre 2012. Rosa avait réalisé toutes les récentes identifications de cochenilles et avait formé l’une d’entre nous (SC) à la préparation des Hemiptères Sternorrhynques entre lame et lamelle. Grâce à elle, l’idée de publier cet article a pu se concrétiser. Nous dédicaçons cet article à notre chère et regrettée Rosa. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:90DC5B79-725D-46E2-B31E-4DBC65BCD01F Mille C., Henderson R.
