Examination of DNA sequences of the 5' end of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene of Aulacorthum solani (Kaltenbach) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) reveals little variation between samples from broad geographic provenances. The apparent genetic similarity despite A. solani's morphological and biological differences contrasts with the species complexes of other aphid pests.

Soybean dwarf virus (SbDV) was first described in Japan as an agent of severe soybean disease transmitted by the foxglove aphid, Aulacorthum solani, with separable yellowing (Y) and dwarfing (D) strains. SbDV of both Y and D genotypes were later documented in other countries. For three decades, SbDV isolates were assessed to evaluate risk to U.

Unlike European species, the potential of Nearctic syrphids as biological control agents is still poorly studied. However, the American hoverfly, Eupeodes americanus (Wiedemann), has recently demonstrated promising traits as a biocontrol agent, notably against the foxglove aphid, Aulacorthum solani Kaltenbach, on pepper. The present study aims to extend our knowledge of the American hoverfly by evaluating its potential as a biocontrol agent in a banker plant system against the melon aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, in a greenhouse cucumber crop.

Article Synopsis
- There is growing interest in using endosymbionts as a method of pest control, and this study focused on identifying these microorganisms in Australian aphids to see if they could be transferred to pest species.
- Researchers analyzed 123 samples from 32 aphid species using advanced DNA techniques and found certain endosymbionts, like Rickettsiella and Serratia, frequently coexisting in specific aphid types.
- The study revealed varying levels of infectivity and stability of endosymbionts across different aphid hosts, with some persisting well in laboratory conditions while others were lost quickly; this raises questions about their survival in the wild and their potential for pest management strategies.
