“…Adults from our colony were put on each piece of leaf in groups of two or three. For mite transfer, we used a long darning needle rather than hairs (del Rosario & Sill, 1958), because this allowed us to move not only single individuals of each development stage, but also clusters of about 10 eriophyids.…”

“…Fifteen years later, an eriophyid species infesting North American wheat and suspected to be the vector of the Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus was identified as A. tulipae (Slykhuis, 1953). During the next three decades, several studies were published on the biology of these mites found on wheat and named as A. tulipae (Slykhuis, 1955;Slykhuis & Horricks, 1954;Connin, 1956;Gibson, 1957;del Rosario & Sill, 1958, 1964, 1965Pop, 1961;Nault & Styer, 1969). However, the works of the Russian acarologists Razvyazkina (1966) and later Shevtchenko, De-Millo, Razvyazkina & Kapkova (1970) threw some suspicion on the presence of A. tulipae on wheat in Europe and raised a controversy on the host range of A. tulipae which could be restricted to Liliaceae.…”

Aceria tulipae (K.) is responsible for important crop losses of garlic in all production areas around the world. However, very little is known about its development in relation to temperature and relative humidity (r.h). Laboratory rearings from egg to adult stage were done on pieces of the apical part of young garlic leaves. These leaf pieces were placed in aluminium dishes floating on water or put on a solid hygroscopic salt in closed plastic trays. Rearing done in dark incubators at constant temperatures (10°C to 458C) and with different r.h (25% to 75%) at 15°C and 258C showed that: i) the shortest development time occurs at about 258C; ii) the upper lethal temperature and the development threshold for the eggs are respectively estimated about 458C and 68C; iii) a r.h close to 100% is required for a high percentage of egg hatching, but water condensation on leaves is harmful. Host transpiration has an important regulatory effect on humidity conditions favouring mite survival. E E Lindquist, M W Sabelis and J Bruin. World Crop Pests 6. Elsevier Science BV. Pop I. 1961.

“…Sidwetwiwat (46) found that WCM biotypes were as variab!e on a sing!e head of wheat as in an entire field, and Seifers (38) and Coutts (15) found regional variation in the transmission of WMoV and WSMV from different sources of WCM. Our research {data not shown) and Sidwetwiwat (46) have found that WCMs reproduce more quickly on plants infected with WSMV collected in the same geographic area as the WCMs, indicating that the capacity of WCMs to reproduce is reduced on a host to which it is not adapted (16,32). This was seen in our laboratory, where WCMs collected from many grass species would not feed and reproduce on wheat, and with other edophyid mites such as the cereal rust mite {Abacarus hystrix Na!epa; 48).…”

Plant Dis. 96:1185-1192.Wild grasses, crops, and grassy weeds are known to host Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) and its vector, the wheat cur! mite (WCM). Their relative importance as a source of WSMV was evaluated. A survey of smaü-grain fie!ds throughout Montana was conducted between 2008 and 2009. Cheatgrass was the most preva!ent grassy weed and the most frequent vira! host, with 6% infection by WSMV in 2008 {n = 125) and 15% in 2009 {n = 358). By mechanically inoculating plants with WSMV in the greenhouse, the highest susceptibiüty was found in rye brome (52.1%), jointed goatgrass (80.9%), and wi!d oat (53.9%). Quackgrass, not previous!y reported as a host, was susceptib!e to WSMV (12.7%). Mite transmission efficiency from susceptib!e grass species was lower than from wheat, and grass species must be a host for both WSMV and the WCM to serve as a virus source. WCM transmission was more efficient than mechanical transmission. Overall, results indicate that grass species can serve as a viral reservoir, regional variation in a weed species' susceptibiüty to WSMV cannot exp!ain geographic variation in epidemic intensity, and crop species and c!ose!y re!ated weeds (e.g., jointed goatgrass) remain the best reservoirs for both WSMV and the WCM.

“…However, comparisons between treatments should still be accurate. WCM may be negatively phototactic (5,18), even under favorable conditions, and did tend to try to move out of the light when leaves were being examined under the dissecting microscope. The percent WCM that were living may have resulted from at least two different processes.…”

The Window of Risk for Emigration ofWheat streak mosaic virusVaries with Host Eradication Method

et al. 2005

The wheat curl mite (WCM), Aceria tosichella, the vector of Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), often survives the summer on volunteer wheat (Triticum aestivum) and may disperse from this “green bridge” in fall to newly planted winter wheat. Because some methods for managing volunteer wheat do not directly kill WCM, there is a window of risk for WCM and WSMV emigration after management has been applied. WCM survival in response to treatment of wheat by glyphosate, paraquat, stem cutting, and withholding water was measured in greenhouse experiments to determine how this window of risk for emigration varies with management. WCM populations on plants treated with paraquat or stem cutting decreased from the beginning of the sampling period. WCM populations on plants treated with glyphosate or that received no water increased up to 3 days after application and then decreased by 10 days after application. If glyphosate is used to manage volunteer wheat infested with WCM, it should be applied well before wheat is planted in fall. WCM in declining populations tended to be in an upright posture that could facilitate emigration via wind. The total green leaf area was strongly correlated with the number of WCM for treated plants and could be used in the field to predict the posttreatment survival of mites that pose a risk of emigration.
