Determination of Water-Soluble Components of Abdominal Secretion of Grasshopper (Chorthippus spp.) by GC/MS/MS in Search for Potential Wound Healing Agents

Wound healing is still a serious medical problem due to process complexity and lack of effective medicaments. This is particularly true in the treatment of wounds arising in the course of such diseases as AIDS or diabetes. Therefore, scientific efforts are focused on the search for new compounds of natural origin, which could be used as medicines or evaluated for subsequent drug design. In folk medicine, grasshopper (Chorthippus spp.) abdominal secretion has been used to accelerate the wound healing process. In this context, the knowledge of the composition of grasshopper abdominal secretion is crucial. The aim of this study was to determine the main water-soluble components of grasshopper abdominal secretion with the use of GC/MS/MS. Liquid–liquid extraction was used as a pretreatment method to clean up, concentrate and fractionate compounds from the complex insect matrix. To obtain more stable and volatile compounds, necessary for GC/MS/MS analysis, a double-step derivatization process was carried out with the use of methoxyamine hydrochloride and a mixture of bis-N,O-trimethylsilyl trifluoroacetamide and chlorotrimethylsilane. As a result, 2,108 compounds were identified, mainly as amino acids, carbohydrates and organic acids. Some of the identified compounds are emphasized due to antimicrobial, antifungal or antioxidant activities reported in the literature. Moreover, a set of compounds characteristic for Chorthippus spp. samples has been selected. In the last part of the study, a statistical analysis was performed to demonstrate differences in composition of aqueous fractions of abdominal secretions from grasshoppers collected at two distant locations: Starogard Gdański and Łubianka meadows.

The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers the plant health risks posed by the following commodities: i) dormant and free of leaves 1‐year‐old bare rooted plants and ii) free of leaves 1‐year‐old liners of Ficus carica imported from Israel, taking into account the available scientific information, including the technical information provided by Israel. The relevance of any pest for this opinion was based on evidence following defined criteria. Four EU quarantine pests, Euwallacea fornicatus, Hypothenemus leprieuri, Scirtothrips dorsalis and Spodoptera frugiperda, and 11 EU non‐regulated pests fulfilled all relevant criteria and were selected for further evaluation. For these pests, the risk mitigation measures proposed in the technical dossier from Israel were evaluated separately for bare rooted plants and for liners, taking into account the possible limiting factors. For these pests, an expert judgement was given on the likelihood of pest freedom taking into consideration the risk mitigation measures acting on the pest, including uncertainties associated with the assessment. The estimated degree of pest freedom varied among the pests evaluated. Aonidiella orientalis and Russellaspis pustulans were the most frequently expected pests on the imported bare rooted plants, and Scirtothrips dorsalis on liners. The Expert Knowledge Elicitation indicated, with 95% certainty, that between 9,585 and 10,000 bare rooted plants per 10,000 would be free of Aonidiella orientalis and Russellaspis pustulans and between 9,456 and 10,000 liners per 10,000 would be free of Scirtothrips dorsalis.

“…Many scale insect species are regarded as important pests in parks. Although several studies have been conducted to identify the pest species on ornamental plants in Adana (Çalışkan et al, 2015;Kaydan et al, 2013a), until now there has no specific and comprehensive study of armored scale insect species. This paper reports the survey and identification of armored scale insects in Adana, with data on their hosts and distribution.…”
