“…Psocids are stored-product arthropods that are of increasing economic importance as pests of seeds, raw agricultural materials, food, and feed [1– 4 ]. Booklice in the genus Liposcelis are the most important clade across the psocids because of their global distribution and high resistance to insecticides and fumigants [ 5 ].…”

BackgroundBooklice (psocids) in the genus Liposcelis (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae) are a group of important storage pests, found in libraries, grain storages, and food-processing facilities. Booklice are able to survive under heat treatment and typically possess high resistance to common fumigant insecticides, hence posing a threat to storage security worldwide.ResultsWe assembled the genome of the booklouse, L. brunnea, the first genome reported in Psocoptera, using PacBio long-read sequencing, Illumina sequencing, and chromatin conformation capture (Hi-C) methods. After assembly, polishing, haplotype purging, and Hi-C scaffolding, we obtained 9 linkage groups (174.1 Mb in total) ranging from 12.1 Mb to 27.6 Mb (N50: 19.7 Mb), with the BUSCO completeness at 98.9%. In total, 15,543 genes were predicted by the Maker pipeline. Gene family analyses indicated the sensing-related gene families (OBP and OR) and the resistance-related gene families (ABC, EST, GST, UGT, and P450) expanded significantly in L. brunnea compared with those of their closest relatives (2 parasitic lice). Based on transcriptomic analysis, we found that the CYP4 subfamily from the P450 gene family functioned during phosphine fumigation; HSP genes, particularly those from the HSP70 subfamily, were upregulated significantly under high temperatures.ConclusionsWe present a chromosome-level genome assembly of L. brunnea, the first genome reported for the order Psocoptera. Our analyses provide new insights into the gene family evolution of the louse clade and the transcriptomic responses of booklice to environmental stresses.

“…In contrast with crop and orchard pests, for which usually trapping, detection, and estimation protocols are rather species-specific (e.g., with different pheromone-baited traps per target species), monitoring at the post-harvest stages of agricultural commodities can be done with trapping devices that are able to capture multiple species at the same time in the same device (Buchelos, C.T. 1980, Levinson and Buchelos 1981, Athanassiou and Arthur 2018. The first multi-pheromone capable of attracting several species introduced into the market was (Z, E)-9,12-tetradecadien-1-yl acetate, commercially known as ZETA.…”

“…This attractant can simultaneously capture adults of multiple members of the family Pyralidae, including Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), several species of the genus Ephestia, rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica Stainton, and meal moth, Pyralis farinamis (L.). It is also effective to a lesser extent for other species that do not belong to the family Pyralidae, such as Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) (Vick et al 1979, Buchelos 1980, Levinson and Buchelos 1981, Buchelos and Trematerra 1998, Athanassiou et al 2018.…”

“…To intercept crawling individuals, it is usually advantageous to use floor trapping devices in processing facilities. However, some beetles that can fly with ease, such as the cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae), and be effectively trapped in devices similar to those used for moths (Athanassiou et al 2018). Nevertheless, floor traps are usually species-specific and are baited with the sex pheromone of the target species Arthur 2018, Morrison et al 2021).…”

“…The success of floor traps in multi-species detection at food facilities has led to the development of a wide range of trapping designs. While these are mainly used for the detection of walking beetles, they can also be effective in capturing moths, psocids or even mites (Athanassiou and Arthur 2018). Moreover, though these traps can be used with the addition of pheromones or different food attractants, floor traps can be successfully deployed unbaited, taking advantage of the thigmotactic responses of many crawling stored product insect species (Athanassiou et al 2006(Athanassiou et al , 2016(Athanassiou et al , 2017.…”

Certain lures are marketed toward particular pests or classes of pests, while others might be multi-species lures. Investigative aims for this study included both which trap was most sensitive and whether different combinations of traps and attractants were delivering novel information about the stored product insect community. Comparisons were made for all combinations of 3 commercial traps and 4 different attractants plus an untreated control on the capture of stored-product insects for 2 consecutive years in 3 food processing facilities in Central Greece. The traps used in the experiments were Dome Trap (Trécé Inc., USA), Wall Trap (Trécé) and Box Trap (Insects Limited, Ltd., USA). The attractants that were evaluated were 0.13 g of (i) PantryPatrol gel (Insects Limited), (ii) Storgard kairomone food attractant oil (Trécé), (iii) wheat germ (Honeyville, USA), and (iv) Dermestid tablet attractant (Insects Limited). The traps were inspected approximately every 15 days and rotated. A total of 34,000+ individuals were captured belonging to 26 families and at least 48 species. The results indicated that Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), and cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (F.) were the most abundant. Although there were noticeable differences among the different traps and attractants for specific species, all combinations provided similar information on population dynamics. Generally, Dome traps baited with either the oil or the gel, were found to be the most sensitive. The results of the present study demonstrate the importance of long-term trapping protocols, as a keystone in IPM-based control strategies in food processing facilities.
