烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci(Gennadius)是重要的世界性害虫之一,对农业生产造成了严重的危害.利用天敌对烟粉虱进行生物防治已经成为研究重点.本文于2007年6月至2008年11月对宁波地区不同寄主作物上烟粉虱虫口数量及其寄生蜂种类进行了调查.结果查得烟粉虱寄生蜂共7种,它们是恩蚜小蜂属Encarsm Forster的浅黄恩蚜小蜂En.sophia、日本恩蚜小蜂En.japonica、丽蚜小蜂En.formosa、黄盾恩蚜小蜂En.smithi和桨角蚜小蜂属Eretmocerus Haldeman的蒙氏桨角蚜小蜂Er.mundus、狄氏桨角蚜小蜂Er.debachi、盾黑桨角蚜小蜂Er.melanoscutus,其中优势种为浅黄恩蚜小蜂En.sophia、蒙氏桨角蚜小蜂Er.mundus和狄氏桨角蚜小蜂Er.debachi,这3种寄生蜂分别占收集到寄生蜂总数量的35.89%、49.66%和11.01%;此外,田间十字花科蔬菜上的烟粉虱虫13数量最高峰在2007年12月,自然寄生率最高峰在2008年10月,寄生率可达到13.86%;田间黄瓜上的烟粉虱虫口数量最高峰出现在2007年11月,自然寄生率最高峰在2007年8月,寄生率可达到8.22%;田间茄子上的烟粉虱虫口数量高峰出现在2007年7月和9月及2008年10月,自然寄生率高峰出现在2007年7月和9月及2008年9月,分别达到13.25%,10.30%和5.92%.     

两种蚜小蜂对烟粉虱寄主的产卵选择性(英文)

双斑恩蚜小蜂和桨角蚜小蜂是华南地区烟粉虱的两种优势种寄生蜂。本文研究了两种寄生蜂对不同龄期烟粉虱寄主的产卵选择特性。结果表明:两种寄生蜂均可寄生烟粉虱的1~4龄若虫。当只有1个龄期的烟粉虱若虫存在时,双斑恩蚜小蜂更多地寄生3龄和4龄若虫,较少寄生1龄和2龄若虫;而桨角蚜小蜂则更多地寄生3龄和2龄若虫,较少寄生1龄和4龄若虫。在4个龄期若虫同时存在时,双斑恩蚜小蜂会明显增加对3龄和4龄若虫的产卵寄生,降低对1龄和2龄若虫的寄生;而桨角蚜小蜂则增加对2龄和3龄若虫的寄生,减少对1龄和4龄若虫的寄生。寄主植物的差异不影响这二种蚜小蜂对各龄期烟粉虱若虫的产卵选择倾向。结果提示,烟粉虱若虫3龄和4龄是双斑恩蚜小蜂最适宜的寄主,而桨角蚜小蜂最适宜的寄主是烟粉虱2龄和3龄若虫。

中国寄生烟粉虱的三种恩角蚜小蜂28S rRNA系统发育分析(英文)

蚜小蜂Bemisia tabaci是烟粉虱的重要天敌, 其中双斑恩蚜小蜂Encarsia bimaculata, 丽蚜小蜂E. formosa以及浅黄恩蚜小蜂E. sophia是国内烟粉虱寄生蜂3个优势种。本研究以采自中国华南、 华东、 华北、 西南地区以及马来西亚、 埃及的E. bimaculata、 E. formosa和E. sophia 3个优势种的8个不同地理种群为研究对象, 对其28S rRNA D2和D3扩展区序列进行了测定和分析。结果表明： Encarsia属的恩蚜小蜂其28S rRNA D2和D3序列在种间水平上高度保守; 与丽蚜小蜂相比, 双斑蚜小蜂与浅黄恩蚜小蜂在遗传关系上更为接近。依据28S rRNA和D2序列的系统发育分析结果显示, 同一种的蚜小蜂其种内也存在一定的遗传分化, 比如中国广东的浅黄恩蚜小蜂种群与澳大利亚、 西班牙、 埃及和埃塞俄比亚的浅黄恩蚜小蜂种群接近, 而与泰国的种群的亲缘关系则较远。在系统发育树上, 来自不同国家的（苏丹、 埃及和危地马拉以及澳大利亚）的双斑蚜小蜂种群聚集在同一分支上; 同时, 来自中国衡水和昆明的丽蚜小蜂种群也与来自美国的丽蚜小蜂种群聚集在一起, 却与埃及的种群相距较远。对造成这种同种寄生蜂不同种群之间在遗传距离和地理距离不对称的原因进行了探讨。     

烟粉虱两种寄生蜂生物学特性及寄主竞争关系研究

室内比较了寄生烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci的两种寄生蜂——丽蚜小蜂Encarsia formosa和浅黄恩蚜小蜂En. sophia的生物学特性,并研究了以烟粉虱为寄主时两种寄生蜂间的竞争关系。结果表明：两者的后足胫节长度间无显著差异。浅黄恩蚜小蜂的产卵器及卵均长于丽蚜小蜂的,但浅黄恩蚜小蜂的待产卵量显著少于丽蚜小蜂。浅黄恩蚜小蜂检测寄主所花时间短于丽蚜小蜂,但检查圈数显著多于丽蚜小蜂,产卵时间以丽蚜小蜂所花时间为多。以4龄初期的烟粉虱为寄主时,丽蚜小蜂的卵期为48 h,而浅黄恩蚜小蜂24 h即完成卵期的发育。后者的蛹历期也显著短于丽蚜小蜂的蛹历期。丽蚜小蜂由卵到成虫的总发育历期比浅黄恩蚜小蜂的要长72 h左右。一头丽蚜小蜂与一头浅黄恩蚜小蜂组合后的总产卵量为14.0粒,略高于两头丽蚜小蜂组合的总产卵量（10.2粒）,显著高于两头浅黄恩蚜小蜂组合的产卵量（9.5粒）;两种蜂组合的处理中被寄生寄主体内的着卵量为1.73粒,显著高于单独一种蜂组合中被寄生寄主的着卵量,后两者分别为1.29和1.39粒。在寄主竞争情况下,在被两种蜂均寄生的寄主体内丽蚜小蜂和浅黄恩蚜小蜂产入的卵量分别为1.21和1.43粒,显著高于仅被一种蜂寄生的寄主体内的对应蜂种的卵量,后者分别为1.06和1.19粒。结果提示两种蜂均能识别对方的存在,且浅黄恩蚜小蜂表现出更强的竞争能力。     

基于SCAR标记技术的丽蚜小蜂快速识别

丽蚜小蜂Encarsia formosa Gahan作为温室粉虱Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood和烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius)等粉虱类害虫的优势寄生蜂而备受关注。针对丽蚜小蜂体型微小, 难以与其他同域近缘种寄生蜂快速、 准确区别的问题, 本研究采用SCAR (sequence characterized amplified region, 特异性扩增区域)标记技术, 筛选出一对丽蚜小蜂特征片段扩增引物(EFZZF/EFZZR), 其扩增片段的大小为287 bp。种特异性检验结果表明, 该对引物只对丽蚜小蜂的基因组DNA具有扩增能力, 对其近缘种属寄生蜂如浅黄恩蚜小蜂Encarsia sophia (Girault & Dodd)、 海氏桨角蚜小蜂Eretmocerus hayati Zolnerowich & Rose、 本地未知种桨角蚜小蜂Eretmocerus sp.、 蒙氏桨角蚜小蜂Eretmocerus mundus Mercet、 刺粉虱黑蜂Amitus hesperidum Silvertri不具有扩增效果, 对丽蚜小蜂的寄主包括不同生物型 (B型、 Q型、 ZHJ 1型和ZHJ 2型)的烟粉虱、 温室粉虱以及我国最常见的黑刺粉虱Aleurocanthus spiniferus (Quaintanca)等亦不具有扩增能力。同时, 该检测技术灵敏度高, 对成虫的最低检出阈值为7.812 ng/μL (相当于1/1 600头成虫)。研究结果对丽蚜小蜂的种类识别、 寄主谱的确定及其有效利用具有重要意义。     

烟粉虱及其优势寄生蜂内共生菌的种类及系统发育分析

为了研究入侵我国的2个主要烟粉虱隐种Bemisia tabaci MEAM1和MED及其3种优势寄生蜂(浅黄恩蚜小蜂Encarsia sophia、丽蚜小蜂E.formosa、海氏桨角蚜小蜂Eretmocerus hayati)体内感染内共生菌的种类丰度,并进一步探讨其系统发育关系,本文利用分子生物学手段对昆虫体内细菌的16S rRNA基因序列进行扩增、测序和分析,并采用邻接法(Neighbor-Joining,NJ)和最大似然法(MaximumLikehood,ML)分别构建优势内共生菌的系统发育树。结果表明,烟粉虱2个隐种内共生菌的种类丰度大于其3种优势寄生蜂,3种优势寄生蜂中丽蚜小蜂内共生菌的种类丰度最高;同源性分析发现烟粉虱和寄生蜂所携带的Rickettsia基因同源性达到99%,属于Rickettsia bellii种,进一步的进化树分析也发现所研究物种的Rickettsia和Hamiltonella均可各自聚为同一进化分支。烟粉虱及其优势寄生蜂体内含有种类丰富的内共生菌,其中优势内共生菌Rickettsia和Hamiltonella各自亲缘关系很近,说明内共生菌在烟粉虱和寄生蜂间可能进行水平传播。     

广东省烟粉虱蚜小蜂种类及种群动态调查初报

通过调查采集和鉴定 ,初步获得了广东省内烟粉虱蚜小蜂 6种 ,其中隶属于恩蚜小蜂属EncarsiaFoerster的有 4种 ,隶属于桨角蚜小蜂属ErtmocerusHaldeman有 2种。调查发现 ,蚜小蜂在蔬菜和园林植物上的寄生动态有一定的规律 ,4月中旬至 6月下旬和 9月下旬至 1 1月下旬寄生率较高 ,6月下旬至 8月上旬和 1 1月下旬至翌年 2月下旬寄生率较低。初步确定双斑恩蚜小蜂Encarsiabimaculata和桨角蚜小蜂Eretmocerussp .为广东省内烟粉虱的寄生蜂优势种类。     

利用黄板监测烟粉虱及其寄生蜂的种群动态

研究了黄板不同放置高度、不同时间内对日光棚室内番茄上烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci(Gennadius)及其寄生蜂种群的诱集监测效果。结果表明,在同一时间内以黄板上部与植株顶部持平的高度悬挂的黄板对烟粉虱和蚜小蜂的诱集效果最好,其次是以黄板上部与植株中部持平的高度悬挂的黄板,当黄板的底部高出植株顶部30 cm时对烟粉虱及其蚜小蜂的诱集效果最差。在5~10月份,随着季节的变化,同一位置的黄板对烟粉虱及蚜小蜂的诱集数量逐渐增加。调查发现,番茄上烟粉虱的寄生蜂主要为桨角蚜小蜂属EretmocerusHaldeman和恩蚜小蜂属EncarsiaF erster,2个属的蚜小蜂在季节上呈互补之势,因此总体上蚜小蜂对烟粉虱的寄生率在5~10月之间呈不断上升的趋势。     

蚜小蜂生殖、发育及其与寄主的关系

Coexistence of two effective parasitoids of the white peach scale Pseudaulacaspis pentagona (Hemiptera: Diaspididae): the role of host stage and temperature

ENCARSIA BERLESEI: (Howard) and Pteroptrix orientalis (Silvestri) are endoparasitoids of Pseudaulacaspis pentagona (Targioni Tozzetti), that are sympatric in Campania (Italy). The influence of host stages on several components of E. berlesei fitness and the effect of mating status on the production of Pteroptrix orientalis progeny were evaluated at 25 degrees C. Parasitization of earlier host stages resulted in an increase in the development time and a decrease in progeny number of E. berlesei. Adult parasitoids were largest when young female stages were parasitized. Pupal mortality did not differ among host stages. Mated female P. orientalis produced a greater number of progeny and proportionally fewer sons (13.6% of the total progeny) than did virgin females (21.7%). The reproductive potential of both parasitoids was also evaluated at four regimes of constant temperature (20, 24, 26 and 30 degrees C). Encarsia berlesei attained rm values nearly double those of P. orientalis at 20, 24 and 26 degrees C, whilst at 30 degrees C the two parasitoids achieved the same rm value, since at this temperature E. berlesei suffered a high pupal mortality. Sex ratio of P. orientalis, expressed as proportion of males, varied significantly between 20 and 24 degrees C only.     

Development and morphology of teratocytes in Encarsia berlesei and Encarsia citrina: first record for Chalcidoidea

In several species of hymenopteran parasitoids of the superfamilies of Ichneumonoidea and Platygastroidea, the membrane enveloping the parasitoid embryo dissociates at hatching into a number of cells, called teratocytes, which autonomously develop in the host haemolymph. In this work we report for Encarsia berlesei and Encarsia citrina (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea), the dissociation of the extraembryonic membrane into cells whose morphological and embryological features correspond to those of teratocytes. In E. berlesei the membrane dissociated at hatching into 4-9 larger cells (100 microm diameter) and about 10 smaller cells (60 microm), which scarcely doubled their size during maturation. In E. citrina the membrane dissociated into five large cells (250 microm) which did not grow appreciably. Ultrastructural investigation of the dissociated cells in E. berlesei revealed that their surface was covered by microvilli, whose density and length increased from the egg stage to the 12 h following hatching. During the same period, rough endoplasmic reticulum evolved from a parallel profile to that of the cisternal type, while abundant vesicles represented the dominant cytological feature. The ploidy level of these cells ranged between 8c and 140c at hatching, but increased to 40c-350c at maturation. These findings provide the first clear evidences for the presence of teratocytes in the superfamily Chalcidoidea.     

Occurrence of G-banding in metaphase chromosomes of Encarsia berlesei (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae).

Well-defined G-bands were obtained on somatic metaphase chromosomes of Encarsia berlesei using trypsin and warm 2x SCC in sequence. The G-banded pattern allowed rapid identification of all five metacentric chromosomes, which appeared uniformly lighted when stained with DAPI fluorochrome dye. It is stressed that ageing affects G-banding in this insect species; in fact, good banded chromosomes were obtained on 1-month air-stored chromosomes. Evidence for asynchronous condensation on the chromosomes of this species is also provided.     

Molecular characterization of closely related species in the parasitic genus Encarsia (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) based on the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene

The genus Encarsia F?rster includes parasitoid species that are effective natural enemies of whitefly and armoured scale insect agricultural pests. Within this genus, several species groups have been recognized on the basis of morphological similarity, although their monophyly appears uncertain. It is often difficult to separate morphologically similar species, and there is evidence that some species could in fact be complexes of cryptic species. Their correct identification is fundamental for biological control purposes. Recently, due to unreliability of morphological characters, molecular techniques have been investigated to identify markers that differentiate closely related species. In this study, DNA variation in an approximately 900 bp segment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene was examined by both sequencing and PCR-RFLP. Two pairs of species that are difficult to distinguish morphologically were analysed: Encarsia formosa Gahan and Encarsialuteola Howard, belonging to the luteola group, and two populations of Encarsiasophia (Girault & Dodd) from Pakistan and Spain, belonging to the strenua group, recently characterized as cryptic species. High sequence divergence and species-specific restriction patterns clearly differentiate both species pairs. Parsimony analysis of the nucleotide sequences was also performed, including Encarsiahispida De Santis (luteola group) and Encarsia protransvena Viggiani (strenua group). Two monophyletic clades supporting the two groups of species considered were resolved. The results of this study support the use of the COI gene as a useful marker in separating species of Encarsia, for which morphological differences are subtle. Moreover, the COI gene appears potentially useful for understanding phylogenetic relationships in this genus.     

Biological Control of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Melanaspis Obscura</Emphasis> on Oaks in Northern California

In 1988, Encarsia aurantii (Howard) (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) was introduced into northern California to control an isolated infestation of obscure scale, Melanaspis obscura (Comstock) (Coccoidea: Diaspididae), on native and exotic oaks (Quercus spp.) in Sacramento’s Capitol Park. By 2002, there was no longer any need for chemical control of the scale (i.e., complete biological control). Both parasite and host are univoltine; peak emergence of adult parasites coincides with the peak of newly settled, first-instar scales. Increase of the parasite and concomitant decline of the scale from 1992 to 2004 are documented for one native and one exotic oak tree. During spring of 2004, mean density of female scales (based on 100 twigs per tree) on 12 previously infested oak trees was generally low, ranging from <1 (eight trees) to ∼15 (single tree) scales/twig. Mean percentage parasitization (per twig) ranged from ∼30 to ∼85%, and was density independent (spatial context) for each of five trees. Two refuges for the scale population were noted: some scale crawlers settled and developed under the parental scale cover (spatial refuge) and some female scales continued to produce crawlers into late summer and early fall, when adult parasites were no longer available (temporal refuge). This case illustrates how an introduction strategy (i.e., single-species release of E. aurantii), which was derived from an analysis of the parasite guild of the pest, was executed in the field and ultimately led to successful biological control.     

Establishment Of Comperiella Bifasciata (Hym.: Encyrtidae) On Aonidiella Aurantii (Hom.: Diaspididae) In Cyprus

Reference is made to the introduction, rearing, colonization and establishment of Comperiella bifasciata Howard to improve the effectiveness of biological control of the California red scale,Aonidiella aurantii (Maskell), in Cyprus. The parasitoid was colonized during 1985- 89 and in 1993- 94 it was recovered in all the surveyed areas. It has been permanently established and is more abundant in orchards with microclimatic conditions characteristic of intermediate and interior areas whereAphytis melinus DeBach is the dominant red scale parasite.Aphytis chrysomphali (Mercet) prevails only in some of the coastal areas with mild and rather humid microclimates. In the surveyed orchards the overall adult relative abundance of the three main parasitoids, A. melinus, A. chrysomphali and C. bifasciata was 54.1%, 42.1%, and 3.8%, respectively.     

Irradiation as a phytosanitary treatment for white peach scale (Homoptera: Diaspididae)

Irradiation was examined as a potential phytosanitary treatment to control white peach scale, Pseudaulacaspis pentagona (Targioni-Tozzetti) (Homoptera: Diaspididae), a serious quarantine pest of papaya, Carica papaya L., in Hawaii. Dose-response tests were conducted with second-stage nymphs, adult females without eggs, and adult females with eggs at a series of irradiation doses between 60 and 150 Gy to determine the most tolerant stage. The adult female with eggs was the most tolerant stage. In large-scale validation tests 35,424 adult female scales with and without eggs irradiated at a dose of 150 Gy produced no F1 generation adults with eggs. Irradiation treatment with a minimum absorbed dose of 150 Gy should provide quarantine security for white peach scale on exported papaya and other commodities.     

Progress towards a biological control programme for glasshouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) on tomatoes

During 1969/74 different methods of using the parasite Encarsia formosa to control whitefly infestations on tomatoes in glasshouses have been evaluated commercially. The most effective control was achieved by the Glasshouse Crops Research Institute (GCRI) programme of timed parasite introductions at rates totalling 120000 parasites per ha (48000/acre) following the pre-establishment of a low, evenly distributed infestation of the pest throughout the crop. Other methods, including the regular introduction of parasites after planting in anticipation of a whitefly infestation or starting when the first whiteflies appear on the plants, are also described. These multiple introduction (‘dribble’) methods, gave mostly satisfactory control but were less predictable. The efficiency of the parasite is greatly impaired during the short days and low light intensities of the late winter months and alternative methods of dealing with early whitefly infestations, including the use of chemicals, are discussed.     

Effect of papaya trunk angle on infestation by white peach scale,Pseudaulacaspis pentagona (Hemiptera: Diaspididae)

Two papaya (Carica papaya L.) seedlings growing in one planting hole often results in angular or non-vertical growth of the trees. Data on trunk angularity, or leaning, (deviation from the vertical line of reference) and white peach scale, Pseudaulacaspis pentagona Targioni-Tozzetti (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), densities on paired papaya trees were collected approximately 1 year after infestation of a papaya field was discovered. Paired trees showed a significantly higher degree of leaning than single trees. White peach scale densities were significantly higher on tree trunks with a greater departure from vertical in paired comparisons. Therefore, paired tree planting practices may facilitate the development of economic infestations of white peach scale populations in papaya orchards.
