چکیده
Abstract In the eastern United States, there are nine species of subterranean termites in three genera: Reticulitermes (six species), Coptotermes (two and Prorhinotermes (one species). These serve as important ecological players by decomposing cellulose material, some structural pests. Many these difficult to discriminate morphologically require examining reproductive or soldier castes, which can be collect. While genetic tools have been developed for identification, they often expensive time-consuming. To help facilitate we a more cost-effective rapid method identify screening 10 PCR primers that amplified inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSRs) other termite species. From these, one primer was all five focal contained conserved, species-specific fragments. We further screened this identification on samples each covering diversity mitochondrial DNA haplotypes localities. This utilizing ISSRs used quickly States matter hours, providing useful technique pest management well future research.

Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar), R. virginicus Banks, and Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki were stressed by holding them at 25°C or 28°C, respectively, in metal pans for 5 d prior to introduction into 1 side of 3-jar arenas (3 containers connected serially) containing freshly collected nestmates. After 14 d, mass loss of wooden blocks was determined for blocks from the arena side to which stres...

Coptotermes travians (Haviland) is one of the most important subterranean termite pest species attacking urban buildings and structures in Malaysia. Two colonies of C. travians infesting residential premises (Colony A & B), and another one in a natural habitat (Colony C) were characterized. Foraging territories ranged between 125 384 m2, with maximum foraging distances of 17 32 m per colony. At...
