“…Mites used in lab experiments are generalist predators that feed on a variety of organisms, including mite and insect eggs ( Abou-Awad et al, 1998;Momen and El-Laithy, 2007), thrips (Bonde, 1989 ) and whitefly (Momen et al, 2013). Under laboratory conditions, there were clear differences in the acceptability and suitability of the tomato leaf miner for the mite taxa examined.…”

“…The vials were kept in a tray containing a 1 cm layer of sterilized sand, as T. absoluta pupation may occur on different parts of the plant but also in the ground. Pupa was then transferred to the adult cage (for more details on processing tomato plants and rearing insect, see Momen et al, 2013).…”

“…(Acari: Pyemotidae) can be a new alternative for biological control of T. absoluta since the caterpillars and adults of the pest could host many Pyemotes sp, physogastric females, which were allowed to grow on the moth. Recently, females of Neosiulus barkeri (Hughes), Amblyseius largoensis (Muma) and Cydnoseius negevi (Swirski and Amitai) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) were preyed well on T. absoluta eggs and all were able to sustain oviposition (Momen et al, 2013).…”

“…The predatory phytoseiid mites, N. barkeri, C. negevi and A. largoensis are native natural enemies that spontaneously appear in various crops in Egypt (Momen, 1995;Abou-Awad et al, 1998;Momen et al, 2009;Momen et al, 2013).…”

“…Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate whether the observed co-occurrence of N. barkeri, C. negevi and A. largoensis and T. absoluta eggs and 1 st instar larvae was just occasional or whether the latter could be important as food source for the former [especially all females of above phytoseiid mites were proved to be an efficient predators of T. absoluta eggs (Momen et al, 2013)], assumed by laboratory evaluation of the ability of these predatory phytoseiid mites to consume and reproduce on 1 st instar larvae of T. absoluta under laboratory conditions. In particular, the reproductive potential and consumption rates of the phytoseiid predatory mites were evaluated and compared under laboratory conditions using 1 st instar larvae of T. absoluta.…”

Tomato crop in the Mediterranean Basin has been recently affected by the exotic pest Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), which is difficult to control due to its high reproduction rate and potential to develop resistance to insecticides. In this paper, the suitability and effectiveness of three predatory phytoseiid mites Cydnoseius negevi (Swirski and Amitai), Neoseiulus barkeri (Hughes) and Amblyseius largoensis (Muma), an indigenous species, were evaluated on larvae of T. absoluta under laboratory conditions. First instar larvae of T. absoluta proved to be possible food source for tested phytoseiid mites under laboratory conditions. Females of C. negevi, A. largoensis and N. barkeri were able to feed and sustain oviposition on unfed, first instar larvae of T. absoluta. A diet of insect larvae provided the shortest oviposition period and adult longevity of C. negevi and A. largoensis, while N. barkeri showed the longest corresponding periods. The total and daily number of insect larvae consumed was significantly higher in N. barkeri than in A. largoensis and C. negevi. Likewise, N. barkeri laid significantly higher number of eggs (23.6 eggs / female) than that deposited by C. negevi and A. largoensis (2.5 and 3.9 eggs / female). The sex ratio of the progeny was female biased and ranged: (females / total=0.62-0.68%) when insect larvae were provided for females of C. negevi, A. largoensis and N. barkeri.

Eignung der Eier von Corcyra cephalonica (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) für die Entwicklung, Vermehrung und das Überleben von vierRaubmilbenarten der Familie Phytoseiidae (Acari: Phytoseiidae) Zusammenfassung Der Einfluss von Eiern der Reismotte (Corcyra cephalonica Stainton) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) auf die Entwicklung, das Überleben und die Vermehrung von vier Raubmilbenarten wurde unter Laborbedingungen untersucht. Amblyseius largoensis (Muma) entwickelte und vermehrte sich auf Eiern von C. cephalonica erfolgreich, während sich Protonymphen von Neoseiulus barkeri (Hughes), Cydnoseius negevi (Swirski und Amitai) und Typhlodromips swirskii (Athias-Henriot) nicht über das Protonymphen-Stadium hinaus entwickelten. Ausgewachsene Weibchen aller getesteten PhytoseiidaeArten konnten fressen und die Eiablage auf Eiern von C. cephalonica durchführen. Die Ernährung mit Insekteneiern ergab die kürzeste Eiablageperiode geringste Langlebigkeit ausgewachsener Exemplare von C. negevi und A. largoensis, während T. swirskii in dieser Hinsicht die längsten Perioden aufwies. Das Rauben von Motteneiern ergab bei N. barkeri und T. swirskii eine höhere Fress-und Fruchtbarkeitsrate im Vergleich zu A. largoensis und C. negevi, welche den niedrigsten Wert aufwiesen. Die Geschlechtsverteilung wurde stark von den Weibchen dominiert, wenn die getesteten Phytoseiidae-Milben Insekteneier erhielten. Diese unterschiedliche Reaktion auf die künstlichen Wirtseier müssen bei der Produktion gesunder Kulturen von A. largoensis berücksichtigt werden.Abstract The influence of rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica Stainton (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) eggs on the development, survival and reproduction of four predatory phytoseiid mites was studied under laboratory conditions. Amblyseius largoensis (Muma) successfully developed and reproduced on C. cephalonica eggs, while protonymphs of Neoseiulus barkeri (Hughes), Cydnoseius negevi (Swirski and Amitai) and Typhlodromips swirskii (Athias-Henriot) failed to develop beyond the protonymphal stage.Adult females of all tested phytoseiid mite species were able to feed and sustain oviposition on eggs of C. cephalonica. A diet of insect eggs provided the shortest oviposition period and adult longevity of C. negevi and A. largoensis, while T. swirskii showed the longest periods in this respect. Preying on moth eggs gave the highest consumption and fecundity rate for N. barkeri and T. swirskii in comparison to A. largoensis and C. negevi, which showed the lowest value. The sex ratio of the progeny was strongly female biased when insect eggs were provided for tested phytoseiid mites. These differences in response to the factitious host insect eggs should be considered for the production of healthy cultures of A. largoensis.

Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is a predatory mite, effective at controlling whiteflies and thrips in protected crops. However, on tomato its efficacy as a biocontrol agent is hindered, most probably by the plant trichomes and their exudates. Our aim was to characterize the response of A. swirskii to the tomato trichome exudates and identify three major detoxification gene sets in this species: cytochromes P450 (CYPs), glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and carboxyl/cholinesterases (CCEs). Mites were exposed separately to tomato and pepper, a favourable host plant for A. swirskii, after which their transcriptional responses were analysed and compared. The de novo transcriptome assembly resulted in 71,336 unigenes with 66.1% of them annotated. Thirty-nine A. swirskii genes were differentially expressed after transfer on tomato leaves when compared to pepper leaves; some of the expressed genes were associated with the metabolism of tomato exudates. Our results illustrate that the detoxification gene sets CYPs, GSTs and CCEs are abundant in A. swirskii, but do not play a significant role when in contact with the tomato exudates.
