“…The nuclear regions include the ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) and associated genes (18S, 5.8 and 28S). Using these genomic regions in Cecidophyopsis mites (Kumar et al 1999;Lemmetty et al 2001) showed that the ITS1 was more informative than the ITS2 to distinguish between closely related species. Among mitochondrial genes, the 16S (the small unit of the mitochondrial ribosomal gene) has been used only to study intraspecific variation of Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Navia et al 2005) and to detect the occurrence of a complex of species in the Aceria tosichella Keifer taxon (Carew et al 2004).…”

“…A PCR multiplex technique based on species-specific differences of the ITS-1 sequences, was developed to identify Cecidophyopsis mites (Kumar et al 1999). The PCR multiplex technique presented in Kumar et al (2001) was used by Lemmetty et al (2001) to conduct a detailed study on the identification of Cecidophypsis mites on Ribes in Finland.…”

Besides their potential for species identification, DNA-based methods are also routinely used for addressing ecological, evolutionary, phylogenetic and genetic questions to study several groups of Acari. However, in contrast to other plant-feeding mites and despite the economical relevance of many species of Eriophyoidea, very few scientists have dared so far to use DNA methods for the study of this group of mites; their very small size certainly has influenced this. In this review we examine the main techniques that have been used to study eriophyoid mites and discuss the results from the literature where DNA methods have provided significant advances to address several essential questions of the eriophyoid biology, e.g., to clarify suspect synonymies, to test hypothesis of cryptic species, to examine the occurrence of biotypes, especially in relation to virus ability or host-plant associations, to understand colonization patterns of invasive species, and for uses as biological control agents against invasive plants. We discuss these questions which might be related to agricultural issues, together with more fundamental aspects as the revision of the phylogeny of the Eriophyoidea. We discuss on the advantages as well as limitations of the most commonly used genetic markers and emphasize prospects and challenges of new molecular approaches. Much is now expected from molecular techniques in many fields of biology and for virtually all taxa. Eriophyoids should not be the exception.

“…Genetic relationships between geographically dispersed populations of the biological control agent Floracarus perrepae Knihinicki and Boczek and its fern host were screened in order to choose the most effective mite population to release against the invasive fern (Goolsby et al 2006). DNA sequences have been also used for assessing inter-and intra-specific variations and, thus, for discrimination between eriophyoid species (Fenton et al 1996(Fenton et al , 1997Kumar et al 1999Kumar et al , 2001Carew et al 2004;Lemmetty et al 2004). Recently, it has been indicated on the base of molecular markers that Aceria tosichella Keifer and Abacarus hystrix (Nalepa) represent species complexes (Carew et al 2009;Skoracka and Dabert 2009).…”

“…Conversely, the possibility that different Cecidophyopsis spp. can function as vectors of one virus-Blackcurrant Reversion Virus (BRV) has been suggested (Lemmetty et al 2004). In addition, it has been demonstrated that different host strains of single eriophyoid species can differ in vectoring ability and transmission biology of the pathogen agents (Kumar et al 2001;Harvey et al 2005).…”

Fundamental knowledge on the morphology, biology, ecology, and economic importance of Eriophyoidea has been exhaustively compiled by Lindquist et al. (Eriophyoid mites--their biology, natural enemies and control; Elsevier, 1996). Since that time, the number of recognized species and the economic importance of the taxon have increased substantially. The aim of this paper is to analyze and briefly review new findings from eriophyoid mites' literature after Lindquist et al. book, stressing persistent gaps and needs. Much recent attention has been given to sampling and detection, taxonomy and systematics, faunistic surveys, internal morphology, rearing techniques, biological and ecological aspects, biomolecular studies, and virus vectoring. Recommendations are made for integrating research and promoting broader dissemination of data among specialists and non-specialists.

“…However, wild Ribes species serve as host plants in which the virus can survive. In addition, Cecidophyopsis species (Bremer and Heikinheimo 1980) transmit the virus very effectively and occur in Finland (Lemmetty et al 2001). …”

Expansion and intensification of global trade in horticultural plants has increased the risk of spread of new alien pathogen species in the European Union (EU). Alien species of pathogenic viruses and viroids in horticultural plants have been introduced into Finland in infected plant material (plants, seedlings, cuttings, tubers, seeds). By 1997, about 30 virus species of horticultural plants had been detected in Finland. We aimed at compiling emerging new virus and viroid records during 1997-2010. Eight new viruses belonging to tospo-, potex-, poty-, tymo-, ilar-and allexiviruses were detected in horticultural plants: four occurred in greenhouse crops, two in vegetables and two in garden ornamentals outdoors. Five new findings of viroids were made in ornamental and vegetable greenhouse crops during 2008-2009. More rapid and accurate diagnostic methods have contributed to identifying new alien pathogens. Global trade seems to be the main reason for the introduction of the newest virus and viroid pathogens into Finland.
