摘要
The host specificity of the gall mite, Aceria (Eriophyes) malherbe (Nalepa), from Greece was studied under quarantine conditions at Albany, California USA. Of the species, ecotypes, or strains tested, only Convolvulus and Calystegia spp. supported gall formation and mite reproduction. Although 2 of the native, North American Calystegia species that served as laboratory hosts are threatened or endangered species, A. malherbe is considered safe for release in the USA as a biological control agent of the weed, Convolvulus arvensis (L.). © 1990 Lavoisier Abonnements.
