“…Persistently transmitted viruses induce changes in the volatile blends emitted by the plants that they infect, leading to the attraction of virus-free aphids, which enhances propagation [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. In contrast, insects carrying plant viruses are sensitive to the volatilome of healthy plants, and preferentially feed on them [ 10 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Thus, the behavior of sap-feeding insects likely differs in relation to their infectious status.…”

Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) cause significant damage and transmit viruses to various crop plants. We aimed to evaluate how the infectious status of aphids influences their interaction with potential hosts. Two aphid (Myzus persicae and Rhopalosiphum padi) and plant (Nicotiana tabacum and Triticum aestivum) species were used. The preferences of aphids towards healthy, virus-infected (Potato Leafroll Virus (PLRV) and Barley Yellow Dwarf virus (BYDV)), and endophytic entomopathogenic fungi (EEPF)-inoculated (Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium acridum) plants were investigated in dual-choice tests. The headspace volatiles of the different plant modalities were also sampled and analyzed. Viruliferous and non-viruliferous aphids were more attracted to EEPF-inoculated plants compared to uninoculated plants. However, viruliferous aphids were more attracted to EEPF-inoculated plants compared to virus-infected plants, while non-viruliferous insects exhibited no preference. Fungal-inoculated plants released higher amounts of aldehydes (i.e., heptanal, octanal, nonanal and decanal) compared to other plants, which might explain why viruliferous and non-viruliferous aphids were more abundant in EEPF-inoculated plants. Our study provides an interesting research perspective on how EEPF are involved in behavior of virus vector, depending on the infectious status of the latter.

“…The preference-performance hypothesis contends that insect herbivore performance matches their host plant preferences [15], a suggestion which has received support [16,17], albeit not always [18,19]. Few studies have considered similar effects at higher trophic levels, where there is again some support for this idea [7,20], but this is not always so [21][22][23][24].…”

Indirect effects are ubiquitous in nature, and have received much attention in terrestrial plant–insect herbivore–enemy systems. In such tritrophic systems, changes in plant quality can have consequential effects on the behavior and abundance of insect predators and parasitoids. Plant quality as perceived by insect herbivores may vary for a range of reasons, including because of infection by plant pathogens. However, plant diseases vary in their origin (viral, bacterial or fungal) and as a result may have differing effects on plant physiology. To investigate if the main groups of plant pathogens differ in their indirect effects on higher trophic levels, we performed a meta-analysis using 216 measured responses from 29 primary studies. There was no overall effect of plant pathogens on natural enemy traits as differences between pathogen types masked their effects. Infection by fungal plant pathogens showed indirect negative effects on the performance and preference of natural enemies via both chewing and piercing-sucking insect herbivore feeding guilds. Infection by bacterial plant pathogens had a positive effect on the natural enemies (parasitoids) of chewing herbivores. Infection by viral plant pathogens showed no clear effect, although parasitoid preference may be positively affected by their presence. It is important to note that given the limited volume of studies to date on such systems, this work should be considered exploratory. Plant pathogens are very common in nature, and tritrophic systems provide an elegant means to examine the consequences of indirect interactions in ecology. We suggest that further studies examining how plant pathogens affect higher trophic levels would be of considerable value.

“…In large-scale rearing developed in laboratories around the world, where lacewings have been used as control agents for a longer time, the larvae commonly receive eggs of Ephestia kuehniella Zeller, 1879 (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) (Colares et al, 2015;Nunes et al, 2017;Oliveira et al, 2016). Furthermore, it is also suitable for C. externa (Carvalho and Souza, 2009;Morando et al, 2014;Garzón et al, 2015;Dias et al, 2018) and used to mass-rear the species for commercial purposes in Brazil (Brígida Souza, personal communication;JB Biotecnologia Agentes Biológicos, 2021).…”
