Abstract

Chrysolina herbacea (Duftschmid 1825) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), parlak altınımsı yeşil renkli fitofag bir böcektir. Bu böcek türü, başta Mentha cinsi olmak üzere Lamiaceae familyasına ait bitkiler üzerinde etki yaparlar. Bahsi geçen bitkilerin yapraklarını tüketmeleri sonucu bu bitkiler üzerinde ciddi zararlar meydana getirirler. 2012-2013 yılları boyunca bu çalışmada gregarine enfeksiyonunu belirlemek için toplam 264 (54 larva ve 210 ergin) böcek disekte edilmiştir. Neogregarine ve eugregarine enfeksiyonu yoğunluğu sırası ile % 4,5 ± 1,3 ve % 40,2 ± 3,0 olarak tespit edilmiştir. 2012 yılında, böceklerin % 2,3 ± 0,9’un da bu iki patojen türünün oluşturduğu süper enfeksiyon tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma bu böcek türünde neogregarine enfeksiyonunun ilk kaydıdır. Bu böcekte tespit edilen eugregarine türü gerek morfolojik gerekse yaşam döngüsü özelliklerine bakıldığında Gregarina munieri (Schneider 1875)’dir.

Detection of Neogregarine and Eugregarine (Apicomplexa) Infections from Chrysolina herbacea (Duftschmid 1825) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Turkey

Abstract

Chrysolina herbacea (Duftschmid 1825) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) also known as the mint leaf beetle, is a phytophagous, shiny green-gold colored beetle. These beetles are associated with plants belonging to the family Lamiaceae, especially the genus Mentha. They cause significant damage to the plants by consuming their leaves. In 2012-2013, a total of 264 individuals (54 larvae and 210 adults) were collected in the vicinity of Trabzon, Turkey and examined for infection with gregarine parasites. Prevalence rates of neogregarine and eugregarine infections were 4.5 ± 1.3 % and 40.2 ± 3.0 %, respectively. A co-infection with parasites of both groups was found in 2.3 ± 0.9 % beetles, but only in 2012. This is the first record of a neogregarine infection in this host. The eugregarine species is most likely Gregarina munieri (Schneider 1875), as inferred from morphological and life cycle characteristics.
