大蜡螟防控技术研究进展

大蜡螟Galleria mellonella L.是蜂群中普遍存在的害虫,其幼虫蛀毁巢脾,造成封盖蛹不能孵化出房,使蜂群群势下降甚至飞逃.当前,大蜡螟作为试验昆虫受到越来越多的关注,而其防控技术的研究相对薄弱,蜡螟危害仍是限制养蜂发展的因素之一.本文对国内外大蜡螟的防控技术进行了梳理总结,为我国制定蜡螟综合防控措施提供思路,并展望未来蜡螟防控发展方向.

Progress on prevention and control technology of greater wax moth ( Galleria mellonella L.)

The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella L., is a ubiquitous pest of the honeybee. The greater wax moth larvae can destroy honeybee combs, keep honeybee pupa from hatching, weaken the honeybee populations and even lead to honeybee colonies flying away. At present, the great wax moth is more and more concerned as an experimental insect, whereas the research on its prevention and control technology remains weak. The damage of the greater wax moth has become a limiting factor for the development of apiculture. In this paper, we summarized the prevention and control technology of greater wax moth at home and abroad, which could provide insight into formulating integrated prevention and control measures of wax moth in China. Meanwhile, the future developments on prevention and control technology of greater wax moth were prospected in this paper.
