“…The order Coleoptera includes many pest species that cause economic losses in agriculture and forestry. To control these insects, various insecticides belonging to different chemical classes are in use, including broad‐spectrum insecticides such as the organophosphate malathion or the pyrethroid cyfluthrin 52 . However, as in other insect orders, the sustainability of beetle control is compromised by the development of insecticide resistance, which involves behavioural resistance, reduced cuticular penetration, target‐site insensitivity and increased metabolic detoxification based on functionalization, hydrolytic cleavage, conjugation and transporters involved in sequestration and excretion 1, 53 …”

BACKGROUND ATP‐binding cassette transporter (ABC transporter) subfamilies ABCA–C and ABCG–H have been implicated in insecticide detoxification, mostly based on findings of elevated gene expression in response to insecticide treatment. We previously characterized TcABCA–C genes from the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum and demonstrated that TcABCA and TcABCC genes are involved in the elimination of diflubenzuron, because RNA interference (RNAi)‐mediated gene silencing increased susceptibility. In this study, we focused on the potential functions of TcABCG and TcABCH genes in insecticide detoxification. RESULTS When we silenced the expression of TcABCG–H genes using RNAi, we noticed a previously unreported developmental RNAi phenotype for TcABCG‐4F, which is characterized by 50% mortality and ecdysial arrest during adult moult. When we knocked down the Drosophila brown orthologue TcABCG‐XC, we did not obtain apparent eye colour phenotypes but did observe a loss of riboflavin uptake by Malpighian tubules. Next, we determined the expression profiles of all TcABCG–H genes in different tissues and developmental stages and analysed transcript levels in response to treatment with four chemically unrelated insecticides. We found that some genes were specifically upregulated after insecticide treatment. However, when we determined insecticide‐induced mortalities in larvae that were treated by double‐stranded RNA injection to silence those TcABCG–H genes that were upregulated, we did not observe a significant increase in susceptibility to insecticides. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the observed insecticide‐dependent induction of TcABCG–H gene expression reflects an unspecific stress response, and hence underlines the significance of functional studies on insecticide detoxification. © 2021 The Authors.

“…In 1965, an endosulfan (organochlorine insecticide)-resistant CPB population was recorded for the first time [5]. The CPB resistance mechanism involved in defense against endosulfan is mainly metabolic, by increasing the enzymatic activity and increasing the number of enzymes: esterases, monooxygenases, and glutathione-S-transferase (Figure 3) [85].…”

“…Major pathogens (Phytophthora infestans, Alternaria solani, Thanatephorus cucumeris), viruses (potato leafroll virus, potato virus Y) and animal pests (potato cyst nematodes, Colorado beetle, Phthorimaea operculella) are widely distributed, which can wreak havoc on potato fields if left uncontrolled. Without crop protection almost 75% of potato production would be lost [4,5].…”

Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata, CPB) is considered one of the most persistent crop pests because it is highly adaptable and can rapidly develop insecticide resistance. Nowadays, this beetle is resistant to over 54 different insecticides. In the absence of competitive alternatives, the answer of farmers to the high degree of pest adaptability is to increase the number of pesticide treatments or apply chemicals with different modes of action. Such a strategy increases the risk of intoxication in non-target organisms and leads to environmental pollution, augmenting the carbon footprint. Furthermore, these strategies are also unsustainable and inefficient for pest management in the long-term. The time has thus come to reform existing agriculture practices, for which the implementation of an integrated pest management strategy would be a more feasible tool. Applying a sustainable pest management strategy is indispensable for a better understanding of the status and mechanisms of insecticide resistance. Effective pest management requires monitoring the resistance of pests and developing a well-programmed pesticide treatment to simultaneously reduce the insecticide selection pressure and environmental pollution. In this context, here we present a review on the difficulties of potato pest control using as a case study the resistance of CPB to pyrethroids.

“…Despite a long history of developing resistance to insecticides, the management of L. decemlineata is still strongly dependent on the use of chemical pesticides (Alyokhin, 2009;Alyokhin et al, 2013b;Kadoi c Bala sko et al, 2020) Fumigation of potatoes, timber and grain can be effective against L. decemlineata (EPPO, 2018) Establishment, impact 4.…”

The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) for the EU . L. decemlineata is primarily known as a major defoliator of potatoes ( Solanum tuberosum ); feeding damage can result in significant yield loss. Field grown tomatoes and eggplants can be attacked and wild solanaceous species are also hosts. Having first established in Europe from North America in the early 20th century, L. decemlineata is now distributed in 21 EU Member States and is regulated in the EU by Commission Implementing Regulation 2019/2072, (Annex III ) with protected zones in place for Cyprus, Ireland, Malta, Northern Ireland, parts of Spain (Ibiza and Menorca) and Portugal (Azores and Madeira), seven districts of Finland and five counties in Sweden. Adults occasionally enter some protected zones due to wind currents that carry flying adults; pathways are also provided by plant produce moved in trade. The availability of hosts and suitable climate make establishment of the pest possible in protected zones in the EU , especially in the southern EU . Spread within the protected zones could occur via adult flight and via leafy vegetables moved in trade. Impacts on potato yields would be expected within the protected zones; outdoor grown tomatoes and eggplants could be impacted in the protected zones of southern Member States too. Previous incursions into the current protected zones have been eradicated. L. decemlineata satisfies all of the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess, to conclude that it is a potential protected zone quarantine pest. L. decemlineata does not satisfy all of the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess with respect to regulated non‐quarantine pest status, specifically plants for planting are not the main means of spread.
