“…However, SHB's invasion pathway to Korea was not clear until 2019. Recently, the origin of the SHB population in Korean has been linked to southeast USA [9]. Two control measures are commonly used for SHB in the United States, i.e., coumaphos strips that are placed inside the hive [10][11][12] and an insecticide soil drench that is applied to the soil surrounding the outside of the hive [12,13].…”

Small hive beetle (Aethina tumida Murray), indigenous to Africa, has spread to other parts of the world where has become a threat to the honeybee industry. In the present study, insecticidal properties (contact, fumigant, and repellent toxicities) of three main constituents derived from Trachyspermum ammi (L.) Sprague ex Turrill fruits essential oil were evaluated against adult small hive beetles under laboratory conditions. The Hydrodistillation of T. ammi fruits, grown in Ethiopia, yielded a pale yellow essential oil (3.5% v/w) with a strong aromatic odor. Analyses by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry identified twenty-two compounds that accounted for 98.68% of the total essential oil. The essential oil was dominated by monoterpenoids, comprising γ-terpinene (32.72%), p-cymene (27.92%), and thymol (24.36%). The essential oil showed strong contact and fumigation toxicities against the small hive beetle adults, with a LD50 value of 66.64 µg/adult and a LC50 value of 89.03 mg/L air, respectively. Among the main constituents, thymol was the most toxic component found in both contact (LD50 = 41.79 µg/adult) and fumigation (LC50 = 52.66 mg/L air) toxicities. The other two components, γ-terpinene and p-cymene, were less effective in both contact and fumigant toxicities testing. The results showed that T. ammi essential oil and thymol could serve as potential alternatives to synthetic insecticides for the control of small hive beetle adults.

“…In Asia, the beetles were also reported to invade South Korea. Using mitochondrial DNA, it was found that the beetles in Korea likely originated from the United States ( Mohamadzade Namin et al, 2019 ). It seems clear that SHBs invaded Asia through multiple invasion paths.…”

“…Outside the native range, SHBs were first reported in the United States in 1996 and caused considerable damage to apiculture ( Hood, 2000 ; van Engelsdorp et al, 2007 ). SHBs were then reported in Canada and Australia in 2002 ( Gillespie et al, 2003 ; Clay, 2006 ), Mexico in 2007 ( Del Valle Molina, 2007 ), Italy and the Philippines in 2014 ( Palmeri et al, 2014 ; Cervancia et al, 2016 ), and South Korea in 2019 ( Mohamadzade Namin et al, 2019 ). In China, SHBs were first found to infest Eastern honeybee colonies in 2017 ( Zhao et al, 2020 ).…”

The small hive beetle (SHB), a social parasite of beehives, is native to sub-Saharan Africa and has spread to America, Europe, and Australia. Recently, these beetles invaded China, causing widespread colony collapses in the honeybee, Apis cerana. In this study, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in the beetle genome from its native range (Africa), a region that was invaded by SHBs nearly 30 years ago (America), and more recent invasions (Asia). The beetles in the United States formed the earliest branch and show signs of two decades of gene flow and local adaptation to differentiate this population from the native ones. The beetles in China were deep branched and showed the highest fixation index when compared to the US populations. The number of SNPs in overexpressed genes was significantly higher than the transcriptome. Gene-expression profiles presented here distinguish the characters between adult and larvae SHBs.

“…Furthermore, this information is crucial for accurately identifying different species through barcode gap analysis of the molecular markers. In addition, these studies not only provide invaluable information about the level of genetic divergence among the populations of this species, showing the level of the species plasticity to the adverse biotic and abiotic environmental factors, but it also provides valuable information on the movement and spread of alien species (Arca et al, 2015;Mohamadzade Namin et al, 2019). By analyzing the genetic markers of different mite populations, researchers can determine their origins, routes of transmission and patterns of dispersal.…”

“…By analyzing the genetic markers of different mite populations, researchers can determine their origins, routes of transmission and patterns of dispersal. This can help in understanding the dynamics of mite infestations, predicting their potential spread to new areas, and designing effective management strategies to control their expansion (Mohamadzade Namin et al, 2019). While Tropilaelaps mites currently have their primary distribution in Asia, their potential to spread to other continents, primarily through the trade of honey bees and bee products, raises significant concerns.…”

IntroductionThe mites belonging to the genus Tropilaelaps are ectoparasites of honey bees, primarily infesting the larval and pupal stages. Originating from subtropical regions, these mites can cause brood malformation, bee mortality, and subsequent decline or absconding of colonies.Material and methodsDuring field surveys conducted in Nepal, South Korea, and Uzbekistan to investigate honey bee pests, several populations of T. mercedesae were collected. This is the first record of T. mercedesae from Uzbekistan. The morphological characteristics of the collected populations were analyzed, and their phylogenetic relationship with other Asian populations was examined.Results and discussionThe molecular analysis of cytochrome oxidase I gene revealed high similarity between Uzbekistan and Pakistan populations, signaling the potential invasion of subtropical honey bee parasites into the Central Asian beekeeping sectors. Phylogenetic analysis indicated the presence of four distinct lineages within the mainland-Indonesian populations of T. mercedesae. Notably, an evolutionary divergence was observed between the haplotypes from Sri Lanka and the Philippines compared to the remaining mainland Asian and Indonesian haplotypes, suggesting the possible existence of subspecies or separate species in these isolated locations. To gain a deeper understanding of this phenomenon, it is essential to continue monitoring the spread of this significant honey bee pest and conduct comprehensive morphological and molecular analyses of samples collected from these specific localities.
