The genus Hyphantria Harris, 1841 and the species cunea (Drury, 1773) are recorded for first time from Maltese Islands. Notes on distribution, habits of adult larval host plant included. A name is proposed this new record.

In this study, two fungal strains (HC-Z1 and HC-Z2) from Hyphantria cunea (fall webworm) larvae were evaluated for their potential as biocontrol agents against the H. larvae. Based on morphological molecular (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region) characterization, identified Beauveria bassiana (HC-Z1: OP415530 HC-Z2: OP415531). To determine biological activities of strains, a concentration-response assay (1 ×...

Amerikan beyaz kelebeği, Hyphantria cunea Drury (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) dünyada önemli bir karantina zararlısıdır. Polifag zararlı olan H. cunea, başlıca meyveler, orman ağaçları ve süs bitkilerinde ekonomik kayıplara neden olmaktadır. Zararlının larvaları yapraklar üzerinde beslenerek yaz sonunda sonbaharda ağaçların dallarında karakteristik ağdan örülmüş büyük yuvalar oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalı...

cDNA clones for two of the yolk proteins, YP1 and YP2, produced by the fat body of the moth, Hyphantria cunea, were sequenced and found to be homologous to the follicular epithelium yolk proteins of pyralid moths. Both cDNA clones coded for polypeptides of 290 residues and the deduced amino acid sequence identity between YP1 and YP2 was very high (79.0%). Analysis of the secondary structure of ...

Poplar-cotton agro-ecosystems are the main agricultural planting modes of cotton fields in China. With increasing acres devoted to transgenic insect-resistant poplar and transgenic insect-resistant cotton, studies examining the effects of transgenic plants on target and non-target insects become increasingly important. We systematically surveyed populations of both target pests and non-target i...
