“…The Hemiptera honeydew likely contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may act as kairomones attracting the predator. Other VOCs could originate from honeydew or artificial surrogates or associated microorganisms either drawing antagonists [182][183][184][185] or attracting/repelling pests [186]. These VOCs may participate in behavioural manipulation actions within an IPM strategy to enforce any non-synthetic chemical control action arsenal for bio-management of Xf vectors.…”

This study collects data from the literature and updates our Zelus renardii Kolenati, 1856 (Leafhopper Assassin Bug, LAB) prey knowledge. The literature consists of ca. 170 entries encompassing the years 1856 to 2021. This reduviid originated in the Nearctic region, but has entered and acclimatised in many Mediterranean countries. Our quantitative predation experiments—in the laboratory on caged plants plus field or environmental observations—confirm that LAB prefers a selected array of prey. Laboratory predation tests on living targets (Hemiptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, and Hymenoptera) agree with the literature. Zelus renardii prefers comparatively large, highly mobile, and readily available prey. LAB preferences on available hemipterans targets suggest that Zelus renardii is a good inundative biocontrol agent for Xylella fastidiosa pauca ST53 infections. LAB also prey on other important olive pests, such as Bactrocera oleae. Therefore, Zelus renardii is a major integrated pest management (IPM) component to limit Xylella fastidiosa pandemics and other pest invasions.

“…To improve interpretation of results, high-resolution agarose gels can be utilized during electrophoresis. Given the lengths of the D. destructor ITS1 sequences change significantly, seven haplotypes exist; the main accessible strategies that possibly can separate among the haplotypes are those of Subbotin et al (2005) [14,16] and Liu et al (2007) [17,18]. Respect to the explicitness, affectability, and speed, the portrayed indicative conventions can be utilized for discovery purposes by phytosanitary diagnosticians to limit the spread of destructive Ditylenchus species during fare and import of plants and plant items.…”

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most vital food and industrial crop and Ditylenchus destructor is an influential pathogenic potato nematode and is quarantine pest in many states and territories. As a result, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol was optimized to identify Ditylenchus destructor reliably and rapidly. The species-specific internal transcribed spacer (ITS) was used as the primer of the D. destructor ribosomal DNA gene. Some populations of this species from the Moscow region in the Russian Federation were investigated through species-specific primer PCR. New sequence from ITS-rRNA was deposited in the GenBank under accession number MN122076. The current molecular technique is more appropriate to distinguishing of nematode species, since it is practical, fast and precise.

“…The Y-tube setup aided the air passed through an activated charcoal filter to be pushed separately into the gas wash bottles with one holding a cotton wick with test sample and the other holding a cotton wick with control through the inlet. The air from the outlet of the gas wash bottle loaded with headspace volatiles was gently pushed into the treatment arm and the air from the outlet of the gas wash bottle loaded with control was pushed into the control arm 38 . The flow rate was adjusted to 1.5 mL/min using a flowmeter.…”

The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella (L.) uses two different sensory modalities to evaluate the suitability of potential oviposition sites

An ovipositing insect evaluates the benefits and risks associated with the selection of an oviposition site for optimizing the fitness and survival of its offspring. The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella (L.), uses beehives as an oviposition site. During egg-laying, the gravid wax moth confronts two kinds of risks, namely, bees and conspecific larvae. While bees are known to attack the moth’s offspring and remove them from the hive, the conspecific larvae compete for resources with the new offspring. To date, little is known about the mechanisms involved in the assessment of oviposition site by the greater wax moth, G. mellonella (L.). Here, we demonstrate that the wax moth uses two different sensory modalities to detect risks to its offspring in the hives of Apis cerena. Bees appear to be detected by the contact-chemoreception system of the gravid wax moth, while detection of conspecifics relies on the olfactory system. Hence, our findings suggest that two different sensory modalities are used to detect two different risks to the offspring and that the selection of oviposition sites by G. mellonella (L.) relies on the integration of inputs from both the olfactory and contact-chemoreception systems.
