椰心叶甲的生物防治

椰心叶甲是近年来传入我国的危险性有害生物.1994年,我国内陆将椰心叶甲列为禁止入境的二类植物检疫危险性害虫.目前椰心叶甲在我国海南省、广东省、台湾省和香港地区危害严重并有蔓延趋势,严重危害了椰子、槟榔等棕榈科植物.针对椰心叶甲的危害特征,在实际防治应用中,化学防治,物理防治等方法不能起到很好的效果,生物防治是比较重要的防治方法.本文综述了对于椰心叶甲生物防治常用的几种防治方法:释放寄生蜂、病源微生物和生物农药等.椰心叶甲的生物学防治措施,关键是开发新的防治措施和提高现有方法的防治技术,达到持续有效控制.     

绿僵菌侵染对椰心叶甲酚氧化酶活性的影响

对椰心叶甲Brontispa longissima(Gestro)成虫血淋巴中酚氧化酶的特性进行分析,并研究绿僵菌(Metarhizium anisopliae)侵染对血浆甲酚氧化酶活性的影响。结果显示,椰心叶甲成虫的血浆及血细胞裂解液中均检测到酚氧化酶活性,且昆布多糖及胰蛋白酶可显著提高其活性。绿僵菌MA-4侵染组在侵染后第1至第5d的血浆酚氧化酶活性高于未侵染组(P<0.05),但是椰心叶甲成虫体内注射10μg昆布多糖后,侵染组的酚氧化酶活性显著低于未侵染组(P<0.05),表明绿僵菌一方面对可激活椰心叶甲的酚氧化酶原激活系统,另一方面又可抑制昆布多糖对椰心叶甲酚氧化酶原激活系统的诱导作用。     

入侵害虫椰心叶甲的研究进展

近30年来,椰心叶甲Brontispa longissima(Gestro)在亚太椰子产区扩散蔓延,成为棕榈植物上主要害虫。2002年,该害虫入侵我国海南并暴发成灾。化学防除是控制椰心叶甲危害的首要措施,其中包括挂药包等农药缓释技术,而生物防治是控制该虫扩散蔓延的经济有效措施。从感病椰心叶甲虫体上分离的微生物杀虫剂绿僵菌Metarhizium anisopliae被我国和其他多个国家应用。椰心叶甲天敌寄生蜂的引进利用是可持续控制该害虫发生的重要措施。幼虫寄生蜂椰甲截脉姬小蜂Asecodes hispinarum和蛹寄生蜂椰心叶甲啮小蜂Tetrastichus brontispae是椰心叶甲的两种重要天敌。2004年,椰甲截脉姬小蜂和椰心叶甲啮小蜂被引入到我国,经扩繁释放后,取得了良好的控害效果,其中有些地区的椰甲截脉姬小蜂寄生率可达90%,椰心叶甲啮小蜂寄生率可达100%。连续放蜂,且椰心叶甲种群有合适虫龄被寄生蜂寄生是控害效果的关键。气候等生态因子也可能是影响寄生蜂控制靶标害虫效果的因素,应进一步加强研究。论文最后提出了未来椰心叶甲防控的研究的方向。     

椰心叶甲CYP4基因的克隆及绿僵菌侵染后的诱导表达研究

根据细胞色素P450家族4（CYP4）的氨基酸保守序列设计1对简并引物,从椰心叶甲Brontispa longissima成虫总RNA中扩增得到5个cDNA片段（GenBank登录号: DQ238840－DQ238844）。以3′-RACE法获得片段BLWH4的3′端序列,推导的氨基酸序列表明其结构中含有CYP家族的特征性保守序列： 螺旋K区的ETLR和血红素结合区的F××G×××C×G。以18S 为对照的RT-PCR分析表明,BLWH4在成虫的mRNA表达量远大于幼虫。绿僵菌Metarhizium anisopliae菌株MA-3和MA-4侵染椰心叶甲成虫及5龄幼虫后,BLWH4的mRNA表达增强,提示BLWH4可能具有增强椰心叶甲抵抗绿僵菌侵染的作用。     

一株绿僵菌的分离研究

利用马铃薯葡萄糖琼脂培养基,对一株绿僵菌进行了分离培养。对不同生长发育天数的菌落特征即颜色、大小、孢子堆的形成等特点进行了描述。在光学显微镜下观察了菌丝的形态,成熟孢子及分生孢子梗的形状、颜色及连接状况。利用扫描电镜观察了分生孢子和孢子梗的超微形态。经培养特征和形态学鉴定,确定该昆虫病原真菌是金龟子绿僵菌。     

金龟子绿僵菌原生质体形成和再生的研究

用0.5%纤维素酶和0.5%蜗牛酶的混合酶液,以0.6mol/L KCl为渗透压稳定剂,pH6.5时,30℃处理菌龄为24小时的金龟子绿僵菌3-4小时,可从1克湿菌丝获得5×10⁷个以上的原生质体。原生质体在祭氏培养基上再生率仅为0.1—1.2%。但原生质体先在液体中培养再转移到固体平皿上,再生率可提高到8%。实验还观察和确证了原生质体的形成及其再生。     

三株金龟子绿僵菌对红火蚁的致病力测定

本研究在实验室条件下测定了金龟子绿僵菌M09、CQMa117和CQMa128三个菌株对红火蚁的侵染能力。结果表明在1.0×10~8孢子/mL浓度下M09、CQMa128和CQMa117菌株处理后10 d红火蚁的工蚁累计死亡率分别为73.3%、14.6%和55.5%;M09菌株对工蚁的LC50为3.50×106孢子/mL,8.0×107孢子/mL浓度处理LT50为4.35 d。对M09菌株侵染红火蚁幼虫和蛹的能力测定结果显示,1.0×10~8孢子/mL浓度处理后10 d该菌株对幼虫和蛹的累计侵染率为98.9%和100%,对幼虫和蛹LC50分别为6.34×10~4孢子/mL、1.01×10~4孢子/mL。以上研究证实金龟子绿僵菌M09菌株对红火蚁具较强的致病力,致死速度较快,可作为该蚁生物防治的候选菌株。     

金龟子绿僵菌固态培养生物变量优化研究

金龟子绿僵菌属于真菌类生物杀虫剂,本文研究了接种量、种龄、菌种代数等生物因素对金龟子绿缰菌生长及产孢量的影响,并对液-固两步发酵工艺进行了研究.经过优化,得到金龟子绿僵菌产孢的最佳生物参数是:接种量为2.5g/100g、种龄为5～6天;采用固体二代种,培养6天,孢子产量可达1.531×1010孢子/g干培养基.

Selection of fungi for the control of Musca domestica in aviaries

Musca domestica is a major problem in poultry production where management has relied mostly on pesticides, which eventually have led to the development of widespread resistance in insect populations and environmental contamination. In this study, we explored the use of entomopathogenic fungi for the control of houseflies in Brazil. A total of 10 isolates of different fungal pathogens were tested on the larval stages of M. domestica, which were originally derived from a commercial aviary. Among the test fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae (sensu stricto) CG46 and CG30 were the most virulent isolates, causing up to 60% mortality at day 10, but only CG46 was selected for a field trial as it attained higher sporulation on larval cadavers. A commercial product based on the M. anisopliae isolate ESALQ-1037 (Metarril®) was also field-tested using standard treatment procedures. After spraying both fungi in the aviary manure, there was a significant reduction (twofold lower) in adult density of M. domestica captured per trap compared to the control shed. Therefore, our results indicate that M. anisopliae is a promising biological control agent for M. domestica larvae, but new strategies for fungal application and appropriate formulation need to be developed to improve its effectiveness in poultry environments.     

Selection of promising fungal biological control agent of the western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)

Aims: Larval stages of Frankliniella occidentalis are known to be refractory to fungal infection compared with the adult stage. The objective of this study was to identify promising fungal isolate(s) for the control of larval stages of F. occidentalis. Methods and Results: Ten isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae and eight of Beauveria bassiana were screened for virulence against second‐instar larvae of F. occidentalis. Conidial production and genetic polymorphism were also investigated. Metarhizium anisopliae isolates ICIPE 7, ICIPE 20, ICIPE 69 and ICIPE 665 had the shortest LT₅₀ values of 8·0–8·9 days. ICIPE 69, ICIPE 7 and ICIPE 20 had the lowest LC₅₀ values of 1·1 × 10⁷, 2·0 × 10⁷ and 3·0 × 10⁷ conidia ml^?1, respectively. Metarhizium anisopliae isolate ICIPE 69 produced significantly more conidia than M. anisopliae isolates ICIPE 7 and ICIPE 20. Internally transcribed spacers sequences alignment showed differences in nucleotides composition, which can partly explain differences in virulence. Conclusion: These results coupled with the previous ones on virulence and field efficacy against other species of thrips make M. anisopliae isolate ICIPE 69 a good candidate. Significance and Impact of the Study: Metarhizium anisopliae isolate ICIPE 69 can be suggested for development as fungus‐based biopesticide for thrips management.     

House fly (Musca domestica) (Diptera: Muscidae) mortality after exposure to commercial fungal formulations in a sugar bait†

House flies are pests of medical and veterinary importance. They are known to be susceptible to fungal conidia presented in sugar baits. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential for commercial formulations of entomopathogenic fungi to be used as bait for fly control. Differences in sporulation by product were found. Current formulations may influence fly feeding on baits, but because formulations may protect conidia. Additional research into more attractive formulations is warranted.
