“…On the other hand, M. anisopliae INRS 705 and B. bassiana INRS 236 isolates induced high levels of mortality in adults (70.3% and 65.2%, respectively). These results are in accordance with those of previous studies, which showed mortality rates near 60% and 79% after exposure of P. japonica adults to M. anisopliae and B. bassiana isolates, respectively (Lacey et al 1994(Lacey et al , 1995bKlein and Lacey 1999). However, for each fungal species, variation in susceptibility to isolates was observed in adults.…”

The susceptibility of adults and larvae of the Japanese beetle to isolates of the fungi Beauveria bassiana, B. brongniartii, Metarhizium anisopliae, Lecanicillium longisporum and L. muscarium (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) was evaluated in laboratory bioassays. The presence of intra- and interspecific variations regarding the pathogenicity of the isolates was investigated. Results show that most of the fungal isolates caused mortality in adults and larvae. Isolates M. anisopliae INRS 705 and B. bassiana INRS 236 induced 70.3% and 65.2% of mortality in P. japonica adults, respectively, and both caused the death of about 37% of larvae. Of the 17 tested isolates, 13 caused larval mortality. However, no significant difference was found between the susceptibility of larvae to isolates from different species and those from a same species. Lecanicillium species are undoubtedly not pathogenic to adults and seem to have few effects on larvae. Based on the results obtained with the selected isolates, intra- and interspecific differences relative to the pathogenicity of the isolates appeared to be present. Overall, this study expanded the knowledge about P. japonica susceptibility towards entomopathogenic Hypocreales fungi. The implications of this study regarding the development of a biological control agent are discussed.La vulnérabilité des adultes et des larves du scarabée japonais aux isolats des champignons Beauveria bassiana, B. brongniartii, Metarhizium anisopliae, Lecanicillium longisporum et L. muscarium (Ascomycota : Hypocreales) a été évaluée lors de tests biologiques en laboratoire. La présence de variations intra- et interspécifiques concernant le pouvoir pathogène des isolats a été étudiée. Les résultats montrent que la plupart des isolats fongiques provoquent de la mortalité chez les adultes et les larves. Les isolats M. anisopliae INRS 705 et B. bassiana INRS 236 ont mené à des taux de mortalité de 70,3 % et 65,2 % chez les adultes de P. japonica, respectivement, et les deux isolats ont provoqué la mort d’environ 37 % des larves. Des 17 isolats testés, 13 ont causé de la mortalité larvaire. Cependant, aucune différence importante n’a été notée entre la vulnérabilité des larves aux isolats de différentes espèces et à ceux de la même espèce. Les espèces Lecanicillium n’ont clairement pas de pouvoir pathogène chez les adultes et semblent n’avoir que peu d’effet chez les larves. En se fondant sur les résultats obtenus avec les isolats choisis, des différences intra- et interspécifiques concernant le pouvoir pathogène des isolats semblent être présentes. Dans son ensemble, l’étude a permis d’accroître les connaissances sur la vulnérabilité de P. japonica aux champignons pathogènes de l’ordre Hypocreales. Les conséquences de cette étude pour le développement d’un biopesticide sont présentées

“…Other sustainable methods for the long-term control of the beetle are needed. Biological control through the use of parasites and pathogens of P. japonica offers significant potential for sustainable control on an island habitat Lacey et al, 1994).

Abstract. The Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman, is an introduced pest on Terceira, one of nine islands in the Azorean Archipelago. Research conducted on Terceira indicates that entomopathogenic nematodes in the families Steinemematidae and Het erorhabditidae provide good to excellent control of Japanese beetle larvae, but the species that have been evaluated are not native to the Azores. An efficacious species that is native to the archipelago might provide increased capabilities for persisting and recycling in Azorean soil and weather conditions. Surveys on the islands of Terceira and Santa Maria resulted in the isolation of two Hetero rhabditis strains (Sao Mateus and Praia Formosa) with good larvicidal activity for P. japonica. Initial bioassays conducted with Steinernema glaseri (Steiner) originally from North Carolina against P. japonica third instar larvae and pupae produced LC50 values of 3.2 x 105 infectivejuveniles (IJs)/m2 and 0.9 x 105 IJs/m2, respectively. Comparative bioassays of the native isolates and S. glaseri against P. japonica revealed similar larvicidal activity. The LC5os of the Sao Mateus and Praia Formosa isolates against third instar larvae were 3.64 x 105 and 4.44 x 105 IJs/m2, respectively. The LC50 of S. glaseri ranged from 3.2 to 5.5 x 105 IJs/m2. The higher larvicidal activity of the Azorean Heterorhabditis isolates for P. japonica indicates that native nematodes are as effective as S. gla seri. Heterorhabditid species also have demonstrated ability for persistence and apparent recycling under conditions where sustain able control of this introduced pest is needed. Studies comparing the dispersal behavior of the Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar Sao Mateus isolate with that of S. glaseri and native and exotic strains of Steinernema carpocapsae (Weiser) revealed that the H. bacteriophora isolate demonstrated a greater propensity to disperse than other strains in the presence or absence of P. japonica lar vae. In the presence of a host, a greater proportion of H. bacteriophora and S. glaseri dispersed than either of the two S. carpocapsae strains.

The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) for the EU. P. japonica is a distinguishable species listed in Annex IAII of Council Directive 2000/29/EC. It is native to Japan but established in the USA in the early 20th century. It spreads from New Jersey to most US states east of the Mississippi, some to the west and north into Canada. P. japonica feeds on over 700 plant species. Adults attack foliage and fruit surfaces. They can cause serious injury to tree fruits and soft fruit, vegetable crops, ornamental herbaceous plants, shrubs, vines and trees. Larvae are root feeders regarded as serious pests of lawns and turf, vegetables and nursery stock. Adults emerge during the summer and can fly short distances on warm sunny days. The life cycle is usually completed in one year. In cooler regions, development takes two years. P. japonica occurs in the EU in the Azores (Portugal), Lombardy and Piedmont (Italy) where it is under official control. Adults are suspected of being able to spread on aircraft as hitchhikers, i.e. without host plants. Soil accompanying plants for planting provides a pathway for further introductions. Hosts are widely available within the EU. Climatic conditions across central and parts of southern EU are suitable for development in one year. Across parts of northern Europe development over two years is likely. Without control, impacts could be expected on a range of plants. Phytosanitary measures are available to reduce the likelihood of introduction of P. japonica. All criteria assessed by EFSA for consideration as a potential Union quarantine pest are met. Plants for planting are not necessarily the main means of spread so P. japonica does not satisfy all criteria necessary for it to be regarded as a Union regulated non‐quarantine pest (RNQP).
