The First Record of A Gregarine Pathogen from Altica hampei (Allard, 1867) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Abstract
A new gregarine pathogen
from Altica hampei (Allard, 1867) has been reported (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) for the first time in
Turkey. A. hampei causes considerable
damage on Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. (Asterales: Asteraceae).
Therefore, detection of pathogens in which may be a biological control agent of
A. hampei is aimed. 134 A. hampei adults
were collected from Ordu province of Turkey from April to June in 2016. During
the study,
gut content of adults were examined
thoroughly using a light microscope. Total infection rate was 1.5%. Different
life stages of the gregarine pathogen, gamont,
associative form, trophozoite, cyst and precyst were observed in the midgut of
adult samples. Observed pathogen is a cephaline gregarine. The morphological
features,
characteristic measurements and ratios of the observed
gregarine are not justification for the definition of species level. Up to the
present, there are no reports about presence of gregarine pathogen from A. hampei, for this reason the observed
pathogen from A. hampei is
significant because of the first gregarine pathogen report for Turkey and in the world
literature. Besides, observed gregarine pathogen in
present study is a contribution to the knowledge of the pathogen biodiversity
of Turkey.
