“…Both classes of insecticides are widely used for controlling whiteßies in many cropping systems including cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) (Ellsworth and MartinezCarrillo 2001), vegetables (Palumbo et al 2001), and ornamentals (http://mrec.ifas.uß.edu/lso/documents/ Export%20Mgmt%20Plan-7-07.pdf). Since its discovery in Spain in 1997 (Guirao et al 1997) and Israel in 2003 (Horowitz et al 2003a), biotype Q has caused severe crop damage in the Mediterranean Basin in both protected and open agriculture (Horowitz et al 2003b, Simon et al 2003b, Vassiliou et al 2008) and proven an invasive ability arguably matched only by biotype B. Biotype Q has recently been reported in Argentina and Uruguay (Grille et al 2011), China (Chu et al 2006), Costa Rica (Guevara-Coto et al 2011, France (Dalmon et al 2008), Guatemala (Bethke et al 2009), Japan (Ueda and Brown 2006), Korea (Lee et al 2005), Mexico (Martinez-Carrillo and Brown 2007), New Zealand (Scott et al 2007), Taiwan (Hsieh et al 2008), Tunisia (Gorsane et al 2011), and the United States (Dennehy et al 2005). Biotype Q was Þrst detected in the United States in December 2004 on poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd.…”

After the 2004 discovery of the Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera Aleyrodidae) Q biotype in the United States, there was a vital need to determine the geographical and host distribution as well as its interaction with the resident B biotype because of its innate ability to rapidly develop high-level insecticide resistance that persists in the absence of exposure. As part of a coordinated country-wide effort, an extensive survey of B. tabaci biotypes was conducted in North America, with the cooperation of growers, industry, local, state, and federal agencies, to monitor the introduction and distribution of the Q biotype. The biotype status of submitted B. tabaci samples was determined either by polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing of a mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I small subunit gene fragment and characterization of two biotype discriminating nuclear microsatellite markers or esterase zymogram analysis. Two hundred and eighty collections were sampled from the United States, Bermuda, Canada, and Mexico during January 2005 through December 2011. Host plants were split between ornamental plant and culinary herb (67%) and vegetable and field crop (33%) commodities. The New World biotype was detected on field-grown tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in Mexico (two) and in commercial greenhouses in Texas (three) and represented 100% of these five collections. To our knowledge, the latter identification represents the first report of the New World biotype in the United States since its rapid displacement in the late 1980s after the introduction of biotype B. Seventy-one percent of all collections contained at least one biotype B individual, and 53% of all collections contained only biotype B whiteflies. Biotype Q was detected in 23 states in the United States, Canada (British Columbia and Ontario territories), Bermuda, and Mexico. Forty-five percent of all collections were found to contain biotype Q in samples from ornamentals, herbs and a single collection from tomato transplants located in protected commercial horticultural greenhouses, but there were no Q detections in outdoor agriculture (vegetable or field crops). Ten of the 15 collections (67%) from Canada and a single collection from Bermuda contained biotype Q, representing the first reports of biotype Q for both countries. Three distinct mitochondrial haplotypes of B. tabaci biotype Q whiteflies were detected in North America Our data are consistent with the inference of independent invasions from at least three different locations. Of the 4,641 individuals analyzed from 517 collections that include data from our previous work, only 16 individuals contained genetic or zymogram evidence of possible hybridization of the Q and B biotypes, and there was no evidence that rare hybrid B-Q marker co-occurrences persisted in any populations.

“…We also detected biotype Q in 12 of the 13 poinsettia greenhouses representing different parts of Sweden in 2006. Restriction analysis confirmed that the PCR products amplified with primers C1-J-2195 and L2-N-3014 (Frohlich et al 1999) originated from biotype Q because the fragments (500 and 300 bp) after digestion were typical for the biotype (Khasdan et al 2005, Grille et al 2011.…”

“…Of these, biotype B (currently B. tabaci Middle East-Asia Minor 1, or MEAM1) spread globally in 1986-1992 (Bedford et al 1994), whereas biotype Q (B. tabaci Mediter-ranean, or Med) started spreading within Europe in the 1990s (Perring 2001, Rauch & Nauen 2003, reached other continents in the 2000s (e.g. Chu et al 2006, Ueda & Brown 2006, Hsieh et al 2007, McKenzie et al 2009, Dennehy et al 2010, Grille et al 2011, possibly due to increasing resistance to neonicotinoids and other insecticides (Fernández et al 2009, Dennehy et al 2010, Luo et al 2010, Wang et al 2010, Sun et al 2013. Following its introduction to new areas, B. tabaci Med is replacing the previously common B. tabaci MEAM1 (e.g.…”

We surveyed 13 Finnish and 13 Swedish poinsettia greenhouses in 2006 for Bemisia tabaci biotype Q (currently B. tabaci Mediterranean) and determined the biotype status of B. tabaci populations with PCR followed by an RFLP assay. We collected approximately 100 adult whiteflies from yellow sticky traps or from plants and stored them in 80% ethanol until DNA extraction. Total nucleic acids of two to five whiteflies per sample were extracted using FTA cards or a modified Chelex method. We showed that biotype Q was present in 10 out of 13 whitefly samples from Finnish poinsettia greenhouses and in 12 out of the 13 Swedish poinsettia greenhouses sampled. We also determined the whitefly biotypes from yellow sticky traps. The common occurrence of insecticide-resistance-prone biotype Q whiteflies on poinsettia imported into Finland and Sweden, both protected zones for B. tabaci, emphasizes the importance of preserving the quarantine status of the pest to prevent permanent establishment. Nonetheless, the increasing occurrence of a resistance-prone biotype on imported plant material will complicate preservation of the protected zone status if solely insecticides are used to control the pest.

“…Isso porque esta espécie, além de ser resistente à maioria dos inseticidas hoje eficientes para o controle da mosca-branca, é eficiente vetora de Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), que é exótico no país e que, se introduzido no Brasil, pode causar danos severos à tomaticultura nacional (Villas Bôas et al, 2009). A espécie B. tabaci MED já havia sido detectada inicialmente no cone sul do continente sul-americano (Grille et al, 2011).…”

“…Recentemente, um levantamento da ocorrência da espécie MED foi realizado no Brasil, por Barbosa et al (2015). Neste trabalho, os autores relataram a ocorrência da espécie MED em pimentão (Capsicum annuum L.) e em batata-doce (Ipomoea batatas) no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, em um município que faz fronteira com Uruguai e Argentina, dois países onde B. tabaci MED já havia sido detectada (Grille et al, 2011). Apesar deste primeiro relato de ocorrência de MED no Brasil, nosso levantamento indica que, aparentemente, esta espécie ainda não está disseminada na maioria das principais áreas de cultivo do tomateiro no Brasil.…”
