“…Newly emerging exotic insects in forest and agricultural systems are increasing owing to the global growth in trade of various perishable and durable commodities . Quarantine pests such as the pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus , originally a native of North America, and its insect vectors in the genus Monochamus , which infest import and export timber, logs and other wood products, cause huge economic damage and destruction to pine forest systems .…”

“…Since the first reports of pine wilt disease, the annual spread of B. xylophilus in Korea has been rapid, with the greatest increase in area reported to be 11 550 ha in 2013 and a further 9644 ha in 2014 . The Japanese pine sawyer, Monochamus alternatus , is the most important vector of pine wilt disease in South Korea, and continuing incursions and the spread of these quarantine pests persist, even though there has been strengthening of border quarantine procedures for imports and exports.…”

BACKGROUND: The nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and its insect vectors from theMonochamus genus are major global quarantine pests of timber products. Due to the phaseout of methyl bromide for plant quarantine and pre-shipment treatments, an alternative fumigant is essential. Based on preliminary laboratory studies on the efficacy of ethanedinitrile (C 2 N 2 ) to B. xylophilus and Monochamus alternatus, three quarantine trials were conducted at three dosages and three temperatures. Potential for inhalation exposure was assessed by monitoring atmospheric C 2 N 2 in relation to the threshold limit value.RESULTS: Concentration × time products (Ct) of 398.6, 547.2 and 595.9 g h m -3 were obtained for each trial. A100% mortality of B. xylophilus and M. alternatus larvae at 23±4°C and 10±4°C occurred with a load factor of pine logs of 46% and at 3±1°C with a load factor This article is protected by copyright.

During aeration, levels 10 m and 5 m downwind were below the TLV after 0.4 h and 1 h, respectively. CONCLUSION:For the purpose of quarantine or phytosanitary treatment, specific doses of C 2 N 2 at the trial temperatures could control B. xylophilus and M. alternatus larvae without significant inhalation risk to workers.

“…Indeed, due to climate change and global trade, various invasive species have recently entered the Korean Peninsula, causing negative impacts (Choi et al 2019b;Hong et al 2012;Lee et al 2020;Sung et al 2018). Vespa velutina causes particularly comprehensive public health, economic, and ecological effects (Choi et al 2012a, b;Choi et al 2019a;Choi & Kwon 2015;Jung et al 2008), and the Korean government is concerned that the damage it causes is more serious than that of other species.…”

The introduction of an invasive alien hornet (Vespa velutina) to Korea in 2003 has caused severe economic impacts on the beekeeping industry. We observed this hornet attacking honeybees at hives and need to develop control and management approaches for the hornet. We recorded the duration of foraging attacks and the success rate of V. velutina at beehives from July to October. The foraging duration was 40-50 s from July to early August but fell to~20 s from the end of August, and 10 s was recorded in September. Twenty seconds was recorded at the beginning of October and foraging duration increased to 80 s at the end of October. This seems to be because the number of experienced, mature workers within the V. velutina nest is high from August. The foraging success was 80.63% overall but exceeded 96% in September. This is much higher than the success rate in the native region, which means that the local honeybees have not yet developed adequate defense mechanisms against predation by this new, invasive species.
