“…Ground monitoring for crown inspections by means of binoculars is of crucial importance for the first detection of infested trees, enabling to locate signs of the beetle activity on a tree in the upper part of the canopy, including oviposition sites, frass material and exit holes (EPPO 2013). Nevertheless, detection from the ground is not always accurate or feasible (Meng et al 2015;Milius 1999;Smith et al 2009; USDA 2013), making it necessary to use tree climbers or hydraulic lifts inspections.…”

Molecular identification of Anoplophora glabripennis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) and detection from frass samples based on real-time quantitative PCR

Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky 1853) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), the Asian Longhorned Beetle, is native to temperate and subtropical areas of China and the Korean peninsula. Due to its wide range of host plants, it is considered among the most economically important invasive plant pests. The morphological identification of A. glabripennis larvae can be confirmed by DNA barcoding, but obtaining the specimens from infested trees can be a demanding and challenging task. Therefore, non-invasive diagnostic tools based on DNA extracted from frass samples can be of key importance in phytosanitary surveys. In this study, an in silico generated real-time quantitative PCR test was developed for the detection of A. glabripennis DNA from frass material, which is naturally extruded from larval tunnels through cracks in the bark. Specificity was confirmed against a wide range of other wood-boring insect species frequently encountered during phytosanitary surveys and inclusivity was demonstrated for different populations of A. glabripennis from all main European outbreak areas. The test proved sensitive and reliable in detecting A. glabripennis DNA extracted from woody frass material of Acer saccharinum and Aesculus hippocastanum at least up to the 100-fold dilution. Furthermore, the test allowed the molecular identification of any life stage of the insect, including eggs and young larvae, whose morphological identification is impossible or very challenging. This study provides a reliable and sensitive molecular tool to detect A. glabripennis DNA in woody frass material, thus allowing a non-invasive sampling approach.

“…The infested zone was included in the territory of six municipalities (Cornuda, Pederobba, Crocetta del Montello, Maser, Montebelluna and Caerano di San Marco). Then, a "buffer zone" was established with a radius of 2 km around the infested zone, i.e., around the most external infested trees, according to European regulations [34]. Year-by-year, when new infested trees were found, the delimited zones (infested and buffer zones) were officially extended (or restricted) several times, coming to also include the bordering municipalities where satellite infestations have been discovered since 2010.…”

“…Immediately after the discovery of the pest, a large-scale intensive monitoring and eradication program started. The eradication program was based on the establishment of buffer zones, visual inspections, felling and destruction of infested trees, trapping protocols, and citizen alerts, following the official guidelines issued by EPPO [34]. The A. glabripennis population of Cornuda was declared eradicated in 2020 [35], after 11 years of application of specific control measures.…”

The Asian Longhorn Beetle (ALB), Anoplophora glabripennis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), is an important and extremely polyphagous wood-boring beetle native to Asia. In the 1990s, ALB was accidentally introduced into North America and Europe. In 2009, a large ALB infestation was found in the Veneto Region (north-eastern Italy), in the municipality of Cornuda (Treviso province). Eradication actions were immediately undertaken, based on delimitation of infested and buffer zones, tree visual inspections, felling and chipping of infested trees, trapping protocols, and citizen alerts. A total of 36,361 trees, belonging to 16 genera, were surveyed twice a year over an area of 7594 hectares. In 2020, after 11 years of eradication measures, the ALB population of Cornuda was declared eradicated. Overall, 2361 trees belonging to 8 genera were felled and destroyed, of which 1157 were found to be infested by ALB. This paper describes all the actions carried out and the procedures applied in order to eradicate ALB from north-eastern Italy, providing a useful example for current and future ALB eradication programs.

“…A pest risk assessment had already been done for that species and thus response actions were able to be implemented rapidly. As a number of populations of Asian longhorned beetle have been successfully eradicated around the world (e.g., EPPO, 2013;Trotter et al, 2019) and the negative impact of this pest on the Canadian economy would be significant (Anonymous, 2008), it was clear to the CFIA that eradication should be attempted to protect Canada's plant resources and maintain pest-free status (IPPC Secretariat, 2021b) which is important for trade.…”

In Canada, forest biosecurity is primarily under federal jurisdiction as the federal government is the signatory to the International Plant Protection Convention and other international trade agreements. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), which is Canada’s National Plant Protection Organization, has the mandate of analyzing risks, setting policy, and managing incursion responses related to forest biosecurity. Other federal government agencies play important roles; the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) enforces regulations at international ports of entry and the Canadian Forest Service of Natural Resources Canada conducts research and analysis in support of the development and implementation of phytosanitary regulations. The provinces and territories also manage invasive species through implementing regulations to prevent the spread of established forest pests. This paper outlines the regulatory framework for forest biosecurity within Canada, and provides case studies of species that have invaded Canadian forests or are anticipated to do so in the near future.
