QMP was found to significantly lower infection rates below the reported infectious dose for 50 % infectivity (ID50) and to slow disease development in a dose-independent manner. These effects diminished at doses exceeding ID100. We recommend that studies investigating treatment effects using caged bees avoid QMP to ensure unambiguous results. Additionally, employing multiple infectious doses with shorter incubation times would be useful for evaluating other treatments that may have subtle effects. Furthermore, our findings support previous field studies suggesting that queen replacement reduces nosema disease at levels similar to treatment with fumagillin.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16296,"journal":{"name":"Journal of invertebrate pathology","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 108167"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141734367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Asian spider mite, <em>Tetranychus truncatus</em> Ehara (Acari: Tetranychidae), a major agricultural pest, has not yet been reported to harbor any viruses. Here, using publicly available RNA-Seq data, we identified and characterized three picorna-like viruses associated with <em>T. truncatus</em>: Tetranychus truncatus-associated iflavirus 1 (TtAIV-1), Tetranychus truncatus-associated picorna-like virus 1 (TtAV-1), and Tetranychus truncatus-associated picorna-like virus 2 (TtAV-2). TtAIV-1 has a typical <em>Iflaviridae</em> genome structure with a single ORF, representing the first iflavirus associated with the <em>Tetranychus</em> genus. TtAV-1 and TtAV-2 exhibit bicistronic arrangements similar to dicistroviruses and other picorna-like viruses, with complex secondary structures in their non-coding regions. Phylogenetic analysis places TtAIV-1 within <em>Iflaviridae</em>, possibly as a new species, while TtAV-1 and TtAV-2 form distinct clades within unclassified picorna-like viruses, suggesting new families within <em>Picornavirales</em>. We analyzed <em>in silico</em> the presence and abundance of these viruses in <em>T. truncatus</em> across four bioproject SRAs, mostly finding them co-associated, with viral reads reaching up to 30% of total reads. Their presence and abundance varied by mite treatment and origin, with no significant impact from <em>Wolbachia</em> infection or abamectin exposure, although TtAV-2 was absent in abamectin-treated mites. Temperature influenced virus abundance, and variations were observed among Chinese mite populations based on geography and host plant association.

Despite some success, particularly with protective formulations, it remains uncertain whether EPNs could indeed survive the phyllospheric environment, and successfully control foliar insect pests. In this context, we tested the potential of commercially produced <em>Steinernema feltiae</em> and <em>S. carpocapsae</em>, two of the most commonly used EPNs in the field of biological control, in controlling Lepidopteran foliar pests of economic importance, <em>i.e. Tuta absoluta</em> and <em>Spodoptera</em> spp<em>.</em> caterpillars as models<em>.</em> We first tested the survival and efficacy of both EPN species against the Lepidopteran caterpillars when applied onto tomato, sweet pepper and lettuce leaves, under controlled conditions and in commercial greenhouse conditions, respectively.

Our results show that both <em>S. feltiae</em> and <em>S. carpocapsae</em> successfully survived and infected the foliar caterpillars, reaching similar level of control to a standard chemical pesticide in commercial practices. Remarkably, both EPN species survived and remained effective up to four days in the phyllosphere, and needed only a few hours to successfully penetrate the caterpillars. Interestingly, <em>S. feltiae</em> was attracted to VOCs from tomato plants, and tended to prefer those from caterpillar-induced plants, suggesting that the nematodes may actively forage toward its host, although it has never been exposed to leaf-borne volatiles during its evolution. The present study shows the high potential of steinernematids in managing major foliar pests in greenhouses and in becoming a key player in foliar biological control.

Digenean infestation can severely degrade host tissue, leading to diminished energy resources and eventual host mortality. However, these parasites can also induce various non-lethal effects, including changes in growth rates, survival rates, and reproductive capabilities, alongside physiological and behavioral alterations. While numerous studies have explored the ecological effects of digeneans on hosts in Europe and North America, our understanding of these dynamics in South America, particularly in first intermediate hosts, remains limited. Therefore, this paper aims to provide an overview of ecological investigations into digenean-mollusk systems in South America, emphasizing the importance of robust sampling designs and statistical analyses to address key ecological inquiries. Although fascinating examples exist of parasitism influencing different hierarchical levels of digenean-mollusk systems, particularly at the individual, population, and community levels, documentation of their ecosystem-level impacts is comparatively sparse. As South American studies of digenean-mollusk systems from an ecological perspective are still in their early stages, there is immense potential for uncovering unique ecological patterns in this largely unexplored region, propelling us toward further developmental strides in the parasite ecology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16296,"journal":{"name":"Journal of invertebrate pathology","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 108158"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141457445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
