Abstract: Summary 1.We know that sexually transmitted parasites and pathogens have extremely deleterious effects in human and domesticated animal populations, but know little of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in natural populations. 2. One previously reported natural system is the sexually transmitted mite, Coccipolipus hippodamiae , on the eastern European coccinellid, Adalia bipunctata . Our aims were to determine how widespread this parasite is in terms of incidence and prevalence across host species, to identi… Show more

“…Encouragingly, preliminary tests in which C. hippodamiae have been artificially transferred from wild French Harmonia quadripunctata to H. axyridis have shown that the mite can feed and survive on H. axyridis (M. Majerus unpublished data). Moreover, transfer to H. axyridis might come about naturally, for inter-specific hybrid matings between H. axyridis and A. bipunctata has been recorded in the field in Europe (Pascoe et al 2007), and Webberley et al (2004) report that mites can successfully transfer between species during interspecific hybrid matings. If it is proven that C. hippodamiae is detrimental to H. axyridis and if the transfer from European ladybirds does not occur naturally, artificially infested H. axyridis adults could be inoculated to field populations for further propagation.…”

“…We used the two-spot ladybird, Adalia bipunctata, and its sexually transmitted parasitic mite, Coccipolipus hippodamiae (24,25), to carry out an experimental test of the frequency dependence assumption. This system provides an excellent model because extensive prior field and laboratory studies of the system's dynamics enable the design of ecologically realistic experiments.…”

“…In A. bipunctata, the mite has strong negative effects on male and female hosts, increasing overwintering mortality, particularly in males (Webberley et al 2002) and reducing both fecundity and egg viability in females, the latter eventually to zero (Hurst et al 1995). Similar, but marginally less extreme, negative effects of the mite have been found on female Adalia decempunctata (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and O. conglobata (Webberley et al 2004). Coccipolipus hippodamiae is found on a variety of coccinellids, but shows highest prevalence on A. bipunctata, where over 90% of some populations are infected by late summer (Webberley et al 2004).…”

Coccipolipus hippodamiae is found on a variety of coccinellids, but shows highest prevalence on A. bipunctata, where over 90% of some populations are infected by late summer (Webberley et al 2004). Comparative analysis of prevalence levels of the mite, on four European coccinellids, has indicated that prevalence is positively correlated to promiscuity and voltinism (Webberley et al 2006).…”
