CURRENT TRENDS IN QUARANTINE ENTOMOLOGY

Current trends in quarantine entomology.

With world trade in agricultural commodities increasing, the introduction of exotic insects into new areas where they become pests will increase. The development and application of quarantine treatments or other mitigation approaches to prevent pest introduction in traded commodities raise many research and regulatory issues. The probit 9 standard for quarantine treatment efficacy has given way...

COMMODITY TREATMENT AND QUARANTINE ENTOMOLOGY Phytosanitary Irradiation of Liriomyza trifolii (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

Agromyzid leafminers are economic and quarantine pests of a variety of vegetables, ßowers, and ornamental foliage. Methyl bromide fumigation is often used as a phytosanitary treatment when quarantined agromyzids are found in shipped commodities; alternative treatments are sought. Ionizing radiation is a viable alternative that is increasing in use worldwide. A dose of 400 Gy is accepted by USDA...

Current progress in DNA barcoding and future implications for entomology

DNA barcoding is a technique for identifying organisms based on a short, standardized fragment of genomic DNA. The standardized sequence region is called a DNA barcode because it is like a barcode tag for each taxon. Since the proposition of this concept and the launch of a large project named the Barcode of Life, this simple technique has attracted attention from taxonomists, ecologists, conse...
