“…Limited success in managing O. rhinoceros populations has been achieved through introduction of the baculovirus, Rhabdionvirus oryctes Hüger (Bedford, 1986). Introduction of the baculovirus to the Philippines reduced O. rhinoceros populations to 10-20% of prerelease levels, but even low-Ievel populations of O. rhinoceros can cause great damage (Zelazny andAlfiler, 1987, 1991).…”

Aggregation pheromone of coconut rhinoceros beetle,Oryctes rhinoceros (L.) (coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

Abstract-Male coconut rhinoceros beetles, Orycres rhinoceros (L.), produce three sex-specific compounds, ethyl 4-methyloctanoate, ethyl 4-methylheptanoate, and 4-methyloctanoic acid, the first of which is an aggregation pheromone. Synthesis of these compounds involving conjugate addition of organocuprates to ethyl acrylate is reported. In field trapping experiments, (4S)-ethyl 4-methyloctanoate and the racemic mixture were equally attractive and 10 times more effective in attracting beetles than ethyl chrysanthemumate, a previously recommended attractant. Ethyl 4-methylheptanoate was as attractive as ethyl chrysanthemumate and more attractive than 4-methyloctanoic acid, but further studies are required before it can be classed as an aggregation pherornone. Compared to ethyl 4-methyloctanoate alone, combinations of the three male-produced compounds did not increase attraction, whereas addition of freshly rotting oil palm fruit bunches to pheromone-baited traps sjgnificantly enhanced attraction. With increasing dose, captures of O. rhinocerós'increased, but doses of 6, 9, and 18 mg/day were competitive with 30 mg/day lures. Newly designed vane traps were more effective in capturing beetles than were barrier or pitfall traps. Results of this study indicate that there is potential for using ethyl 4-methyloctanoate in operational programs to control O. rhinoceros in oil palm plantations.

“…On the other hand, based on other characteristics, WSSV is quite different from HZ-l, another NOV. Prior to 1981, OrV was a member of the family Baculoviridae (Bedford 1981), but in 1995 the taxonomic position of the NOVs was changed, so that OrV and the other NOVs are now classified as unassigned invertebrate viruses (Murphy et al 1995). The taxonomic position of WSSV is also unclear because of the limited amount of basic data available regarding its replication, genome organization, genome sequencing, gene order and other genetic considerations.…”

Primary cell cultures from the lymphoid organ of Penaeus monodon were used to investigate in vitro propagation and morphogenesis of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Double-strength Leibovitz's L15 supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum, pH 7.5, with a final osmolarity of 530 i 5 mOsm kg-' was identified as the most suitable culture medium. In this medium, the lymphoid cells remained viable for more than 1 wk. Migrating cells were inoculated with WSSV, and the consequent cytopathic effects documented by light and electron microscopy. WSSV appears capable of following 2 alternative assembly sequences, one similar to the morphogenesis of the Oryctes rhinocerus virus and another which is more typical of baculoviral assembly. Possible relationships between WSSV, Oryctes virus, and baculoviruses are discussed.
