“…This is the first formal record of field establishment of W. auropunctata in mainland China [11], representing an enormous potential crisis to economic, ecologic, and social welfare. Related potential geographical distribution estimation research showed that agricultural fields, urban and rural areas in the coastal places, the Yunnan-Guangxi border, as well as grasslands in southwest China face the greatest invasion risk [12,13].…”

Invasive alien ants are one of the most aggressive, competitive, and widespread invasive alien species around the world. Wasmannia auropunctata, native to the neotropical zoogeographic area, has been inadvertently introduced all over the world. The first disclosed record of field establishment of W. auropunctata in Chinese mainland was reported in 2022. In this paper, we aim to establish a rapid detection method targeting the W. auropunctata polymorphic microsatellite locus Waur-275, based on the microfluidic chip technology, to contribute to an active response to the crisis caused by this invasive pest. Eight primer sets were generated using the PrimerExplorer v5 online service, and the fifth primer set selected had the lowest Ct in the volume ratio of 8 (FIP/BIP:F3/B3). Method validity with six W. auropunctata samples confirmed the efficiency of this assay. High specificity was demonstrated by the positive result for W. auropunctata out of 6 related insect samples tested. Sensitivity analysis showed that this microfluidic chip method could achieve the detection limit of 1.00×101 copies/μL. A rapid screening method is essential for the whole process of interception and control of W. auropunctata in China. It can also help determine the origin of invasion, clarify the path of introduction to ensure biosecurity, and also uncover other possible undetected establishments in the wild.
