Host plant range of Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) in areas of invasion of the New World

Abstract: Raoiella indica has spread rapidly through the Neotropical region where the mite damages economically and ecologically important plants. Three studies were conducted to determine the host plant range of R. indica, using the presence of colonies containing all life stages as an indicator of reproductive suitability. Periodic surveys at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden (Miami Dade County, FL, USA) and the Royal Botanical Gardens (Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago) identified 27 new reproductive host plants… Show more

“…Coconut presents great socioeconomic importance in Brazil, the fourth largest producer worldwide, with an area of approximately 270 thousand hectares (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, 2011). Besides coconut trees, the red palm mite can infest bananas, heliconias, and several other ornamental or socioeconomically important palm trees; 91 plant species of monocot families were reported as reproductive hosts (Carrillo et al, 2012).…”

“…After being reported in the Caribbean in 2004, R. indica quickly spread through that region, reaching Florida (USA) and the northern area of South America (Gondim Jr. et al, 2012;Vásquez and Moraes, 2013). R. indica inflicted serious damage to Arecaceae, primarily to the coconut trees, but also to Musaceae and other botanical families (Carrillo et al, 2012;Rodrigues and Irish, 2012). It has been observed that coconut seedlings may die from pest attack, while older plants show discoloration and consequent yield reduction.…”

“…Debido al potencial del ácaro para producir daños ecológicos y económicos en plantas propias de la región Neotropical, ha surgido interés en la determinación de las consecuencias del establecimiento de R. indica (Carrillo et al 2012). Cocco & Hoy (2009) mostraron una lista de 72 especies de plantas hospederas de R. indica, en la cual se incluyen siete especies de dicotiledóneas (=Magnoliopsida) de las familias Aceraceae, Celastraceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Myrtaceae y Oleaceae.…”

“…Cocco & Hoy (2009) mostraron una lista de 72 especies de plantas hospederas de R. indica, en la cual se incluyen siete especies de dicotiledóneas (=Magnoliopsida) de las familias Aceraceae, Celastraceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Myrtaceae y Oleaceae. Sin embargo, de acuerdo a Carrillo et al (2012), en el Neotrópico sólo especies monocotiledóneas (=Liliopsida) de las familias Arecaceae, Heliconiaceae, Musaceae, Zingiberaceae, Strelitziaceae y Pandanaceae podrían servir como hospederas. Las divergencias en cuanto a la amplitud del rango de plantas hospederas podría deberse a la existencia de diversas especies de Raoiella y a diferencias en las características morfológicas y biológicas .…”
