“…The findings of lower C. noackae parasitism in T. peregrinus eggs treated with bifenthrin agree with reports that this compound is slightly to moderately harmful to Trichogramma chilonis Ishii, Trichogramma ostriniae Pang & Chen, and Trichogramma dendrolimi Matsumura (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) 33 and harmful to Encarsia formosa Gahan, Encarsia pergandiella Howard (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) 34 , Theocolax elegans Westwood (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) 35 , Eretmocerus mundus Mercet (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) 36 and Telenomus podisi Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) 37 , a common impact related to the pyrethroid action mode 23 . The effect of M. anisopliae, being slightly harmful to C. noackae parasitism on T. peregrinus eggs, differs from that reported for Spalangia cameroni Perkins (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), without reduction of its total female reproduction 38 , and innocuous to Trichogramma pretiosum Riley and T. galloi (Hymenoptera: Table 2.…”

plants of the genus Eucalyptus, cultivated in many countries, have great importance for the world economy. In Brazil, this culture occupies a total of 5.7 million hectares, but native and exotic insect pests can reduce its productivity. Thaumastocoris peregrinus carpintero & Dellapé (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae), an exotic Australian pest, damages Eucalyptus plants. Biological control using the egg parasitoid Cleruchoides noackae Lin & Huber (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae), Heteroptera predators and entomopathogenic fungi, such as Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae, have potential for managing T. peregrinus. chemical insecticides, including bifenthrin and acetamiprid + bifenthrin, also control this insect. the compatibility of chemical and biological control methods favors integrated pest management. the objective of this study was to evaluate the selectivity of commercial products based on B. bassiana, M. anisopliae and the chemical bifenthrin on the parasitoid C. noackae and its parasitism on T. peregrinus eggs. the selectivity test followed the standards recommended by the international organization for Biological control (ioBc). Beauveria bassiana has selectivity to parasitism as well as viability, but was slightly harmful to C. noackae adults; M. anisopliae was innocuous to adults and to the viability of the offspring of this parasitoid, but it reduced the parasitism rate; and bifenthrin did not show selectivity to this parasitoid. The area of commercially planted forests in the world increased from 167.5 to 277.9 million hectares from 1990 to 2015 1. Brazil presently has 5.7 million hectares of Eucalyptus plantations with 24%, 17% and 15% of them in the states of Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul, respectively. The wood from these plantations is mainly destined for the pulp industry, with a production of 21 million tons in 2018 2,3. Insect pests of Australian origin detected in planted forests during the last three decades on a global scale may reduce Eucalyptus productivity 4. The bronze bug, Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero & Dellapé (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae), was first detected in Brazil in 2008 in the states of São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul, and has since dispersed to other Eucalyptus-producing states 5. This insect develops and produces fertile offspring on most Eucalyptus plantations in Brazil 6. Thaumastocoris peregrinus perforates and causes silvering, tanning, drying and defoliation from Eucalyptus plants 7. Biological control is the most widely-used method for managing T. peregrinus 8. This method includes the egg parasitoid Cleruchoides noackae Lin & Huber (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae), imported from Australia 8,9 , the predators Atopozelus opsimus Elkins (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) 10 and Supputius cincticeps Stäl (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) 11,12 and entomopathogenic fungi 13,14.

The pests, Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) and Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemipters: Aylerodidae), and the natural enemy population levels increased with the decrease of bifenthrin content in the net (g/Kg): 3.6 initial-2.2 after 1-month exposure and 1.9 after 3-months exposure when the trial ended, due to the high light intensity and UV radiation typical in the Mediterraneam area (Fernández et al, 2017).…”

Accidental introductions of natural enemies, including parasitoid and predatory groups, may exceed species introduced intentionally. Several factors favor this: a general surge in international trade; lack of surveillance for species that are not associated with live plants or animals; inability to intercept tiny organisms such as parasitoids; huge invasive host populations in source and/or receiving areas that allow rapid establishment; and lack of aggressive screening for pests already established. Recent frequent and surprisingly rapid accidental natural enemy introductions call into question the regulatory emphasis on a rigorous and protracted process for classical biological control (CBC) introductions, when adventives have a high probability to displace or disrupt this planned process. We provide an overview with three brief case studies.The volume of global international trade is staggering, and it continues to increase. International shipping moves 127 million containers (TEUs, each ~40m³ in volume and weighing ~14 tonnes) per year between countries, the majority between continents, for a total of ~5 billion m³ of freight (2014 totals; World Shipping Council, 2017). About 4x this amount moves domestically in coastal shipping. Additionally, 3.2 billion passenger trips take place by air, and air freight amounts to ~185 million tonnes (about 1/50th of the weight shipped by boat, but delivered in <1 day) (2014 totals;. A single adult parasitoid weighs about 1 mg (Harvey et al., 2006), or approximately 70 parts per trillion of a single shipping container -less than a needle in a haystack -and 350,000 such haystacks arrive from foreign ports worldwide per day! Given this massive exchange of merchandise, invading natural enemies are of low to vanishing priority for national authorities inspecting imports for harmful organisms and other threats. Primary concerns are plant and animal pests and pathogens that will do the most serious and immediate damage, not to mention a host of other non-biological concerns such as terrorism, hazardous substances, and material that is illegal, smuggled, and/or counterfeit. In the US Department of Agriculture, the very name APHIS PPQ (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Plant Protection and Quarantine) reflects these priorities, and, aside from known plant and animal pests and pathogens, and their associated carriers, very little else attracts the attention of border patrol inspectors.Reece Sailer, in a prescient perspective, estimated the number of "beneficial immigrant species" to the US, determining that nearly half (134 of 287=47%) had been accidentally introduced (numbers from his Figure 6, not his text).
