“…Nuclear gene translation elongation factor 1-alpha and 18S rDNA from the aphid samples were amplified using previously published primers. Translation elongation factor 1-alpha was amplified using EF6 (TGA CCA GGG TGG TTC AAT AC) and EF3 (GAA CGT GAA CGT GGT ATC AC) primers and generated a ∼1014-bp fragment (von Dohlen et al 2002, Balbi et al 2023). The 18S rDNA gene fragments were amplified from aphid samples using N18SF (TTA AGG TGA AAC CGC GAA AGG) and N18SR (ACT TTA ATA TAC GCT ATT GGA GCT GGA) primers (Wieczorek and Kajtoch 2011) that generated a PCR product about 550 bp.…”

Melanaphis sacchari (Zehntner;Hemiptera: Aphididae), sugarcane aphid (SCA), is an invasive phloem‐feeder found worldwide with a wide host range of economically important plants including sorghum and sugarcane. Given its high reproductive capacity and ability to rapidly spread over long distances, SCA presents challenges for effective control, leading to substantial economic losses. Recent studies have identified two multiloci SCA genotypes specialized in feeding on sugarcane (MLL‐D) and sorghum (MLL‐F) in the USA, which raises concerns as the USA is the second largest sorghum‐producing country. This has encouraged research towards identifying these two biotypes where some research has stated them as two species; MLL‐D clade to be M. sacchari and MLL‐F clade to be M. sorghi Theobald (Hemiptera: Aphididae), sorghum aphid (SA). This review aims at compiling research progress that has been made on understanding the SCA/SA species complex. Furthermore, this review also highlights a wide range of management strategies against SCA/SA that includes both biological and chemical methods. In addition, the review emphasizes studies examining host plant resistance to understand and evaluate the role of R‐genes and phytohormones such as jasmonic acid, salicylic acid and ethylene against SCA. Beside this, plant volatiles and other secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, terpenes and phytanes are also explored as potential control agents. Being an invasive pest, a single management tactic is inadequate to control SCA population and hence, integrated pest management practices incorporating physical, cultural and biological control methods should be implemented with exclusive chemical control as a last resort, which this review examines in detail. © 2024 The Author(s).

The sorghum aphid Melanaphis sorghi (Theobald) is recorded for the first time in mainland Italy (Florence, Tuscany region, Italy) and Spain (Vinalesa, Valencia Region, Spain) on Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers. Data on its biology, worldwide distribution and notes on its pest behaviour are given. Melanaphis sorghi had previously been recorded from Greece (in 2008), Cyprus and Israel. The records of this species in Iran and Turkey need confirmation.
