“…These findings support the assertion that Eucalyptus species vary in their susceptibility to G. brimblecombei (Ndlela et al, ; Petro et al, ; Tuller et al, ). The results also support the view that members of the red gum family, E. camaldulensis and E. tereticornis , are highly susceptible to G. brimblecombei (Chungu et al, ; Cuello et al, ; Lucia, Naspi, Zerba, & Masuh, ; Petro et al, ; Tuller et al, ) and that E. grandis is resistant or moderately susceptible (Chungu et al, ; Lucia et al, ; Messoudi, Maatouf, & Rohi, ; Petro et al, ). The high damage index observed on E. grandis in zone D could be attributed to dispersal of psyllids from the highly infested nearby E. camaldulensis and E. tereticornis stands.…”

“…Glycaspis brimblecombei was detected outside Australia for the first time in 1998 in California, USA (Dhahri, Ben Jamaa, Garcia, Boavida, & Branco, ), and has since been introduced in several continents, including Central and South America, Europe and Africa (Frasconi et al, ). In Africa, it was reported in Mauritius in 2001 (Wylie & Speight, ), Madagascar in 2004 (Peris‐Felipo, Mancusi, Turrisi, & Jiménez‐Peydró, ), South Africa in 2012, Zambia in 2015 (Chungu et al, ), Tanzania in 2016 (Petro, Mpiri, & Mkude, ) and Zimbabwe (Ndlela, Manyangadze, Sachisuko, Lingen, & Makowe, ).…”

Infestation of Glycaspis brimblecombei (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) on three Eucalyptus species in selected ecological zones in Malawi

et al. 2019

The study determined variations in incidence, severity and damage of Glycaspis brimblecombei among Eucalyptus species and ecological zones, and the interaction between Eucalyptus species and ecological zones. Additionally, the study determined variation in pest abundance between the upper, middle and lower parts of the tree crown. The study was conducted in six districts located in four ecological zones in Malawi. Eucalyptus stands established in 2014-2016 or coppices from trees cut in that period were sampled for G. brimblecombei infestation. A significant interaction was found between Eucalyptus species and ecological zones on G. brimblecombei infestation. Significant differences were observed between ecological zones in G. brimblecombei infestation with lowest incidence, severity and damage being found in the cooler ecological zone M. Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus tereticornis showed high susceptibility to G. brimblecombei compared to Eucalyptus grandis. There were no significant differences in abundance between the upper, middle and lower tree crown parts of each Eucalyptus species. Control efforts for this psyllid should focus on breeding and planting of resistant Eucalyptus varieties in specifically recommended sites. The uniform distribution of the pest on different tree crown parts implies that use of contact insecticides on a large scale would be tedious and expensive. RésuméL'étude a permis de déterminer les variations d'incidence, de gravité et les dommages causés par Glycaspis brimblecombei parmi les espèces d'Eucalyptus et les zones écologiques, ainsi que l'interaction entre les espèces d'Eucalyptus et les zones écologiques. En outre, l'étude a déterminé la variation de l'abondance des organismes nuisibles entre les parties supérieures, moyennes et inférieures de la cime de cette arbre. L'étude a été menée dans six quartiers situés dans quatre zones écologiques de Malawi. La population d'Eucalyptus a été établie en 2014-2016 dont taillis d'arbres coupés au cours de cette période ont été échantillonnés pour l'infestation par G. brimblecombei. Une interaction significative a été observée entre les espèces d'Eucalyptus et les zones écologiques lors de l'infestation de G. brimblecombei. Des différences significatives ont été observées entre les zones écologiques d'infestation par G. brimblecombei, l'incidence et la gravité et les dommages les plus faibles ayant été constatés dans la zone écologique plus froide, M.

“…Glycaspis brimblecombei is a pest with great potential for invasion, as reinforced by international agencies, including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) (Reguia and Peris-Felipo, 2003;Ferreira-Filho et al, 2017;Mannu et al, 2018) and has spread across many different regions of the world (Valente and Hodkinson, 2009;Cuello et al, 2018). The countries with reports of G. brimblecombei include Algeria, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mauritius, Morocco, South Africa, Tunisia, and Zambia, in Africa; Israel and Turkey in Asia; France, Greece, Italy, Montenegro, Portugal, and Spain in Europe; Mexico and the United States of America in North America; Australia and New Zealand in Oceania; Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela in South America (Burckhardt et al, 2008;Laudonia and Garonna, 2010;Malumphy et al, 2013;Bella and Rapisarda, 2013;Tsagkarakis et al, 2014;Attia and Rapisarda, 2014;Karaca et al, 2015;Bouvet et al, 2005;Chungu et al, 2017;Yirgu and Anjulo, 2019).…”

High population levels lead Glycaspis brimblecombei (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae) to unrecorded feeding and oviposition behaviors on Eucalyptus urograndis plants

The red gum lerp psyllid, Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore, 1964 (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae), an insect pest originating in Australia and which feeds only on Eucalyptus L'Hér. (Myrtales: Myrtaceae) plants, has spread to several countries. The populations of this insect commonly reach high populations on Eucalyptus plants since its entry into Brazil, and also indicated an unrecorded behavioral. The objectives of this study were to describe a peculiar adaptation in the feeding habit of G. brimblecombei and to register the new habit. The oviposition and feeding by G. brimblecombei, commonly, on the leaves of Eucalyptus, started to occur, also, on lignified twigs. This suggests a not yet recorded adaptation of this insect to reduce insect × plant intraspecific competition.

“…Subsequently, G. brimblecombei was detected in Africa (Mauritius) and South America (Chile) in 2001, Brazil in 2003, and Europe in 2007, in the Iberian Peninsula (Wilcken et al, 2003;Olivares et al, 2004;Valente and Hodkinson, 2009). The most recent reports of G. brimblecombei invasions are in Ethiopia, New Zealand and Zambia (Chungu et al, 2017;Yirgu and Anjulo, 2019).…”
