Resumo
No Brasil, Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes, 1939) é vetor da leprose na cultura dos citros, doença responsável por significativa redução na produtividade. Objetivou-se avaliar, a capacidade de colonização de B. phoenicis sobre cercas-vivas, quebra-ventos e plantas daninhas, e a potencialidade destas como hospedeiras do vírus da leprose. Realizou-se a colonização das plantas com ácaros procedentes de uma criação-estoque sobre frutos de citros Pêra-rio, para as seguintes plantas hospedeiras intermediárias: Hibiscus sp., Malvaviscus mollis, Grevillea robusta, Mimosa caesalpiniaefolia, Bixa orellana, Euphorbia splendens, Bidens pilosa, Commelina benghalensis, Sida cordifolia, Ageratum conyzoides e Citrus sinensis. Constatou-se que a exceção de E. splendens, todas comportaram-se como hospedeiras do ácaro. Ácaros contaminados, procedentes da criação-estoque, após serem transferidos e confinados em arenas delimitadas nas plantas hospedeiras intermediárias, por um período de 7 dias, não perderam a capacidade de transmitir o vírus para mudas cítricas de Valência e Natal. Ácaros não contaminados que tiveram acesso alimentar por 3 dias nessas mesmas arenas, somente se contaminaram e transmitiram o vírus para mudas de citros, aqueles que se alimentaram sobre: C. benghalensis, S. cordifolia, A. conyzoides, B. pilosa, B. orellana e C. sinensis. Resultados semelhantes foram conseguidos com ácaros criados, por um período de 90 dias, sobre as mesmas plantas hospedeiras intermediárias, inicialmente infestadas com ácaros contaminados também procedentes da criação-estoque.
In Brazil, Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes, 1939) is a vector of the leprosis in the culture of citrus, a disease that causes significant reduction in the productivity. In this work it was evaluated the B. phoenicis capacity of settling on common fence-lives, windbreaks and weeds, and their potentiality as hosts to the leprosis virus. The colonization of the plants was carried out with mites coming from a stock creation on fruits of Pêra-rio citrus, for the following intermediate host plants: Hibiscus sp., Malvaviscus mollis, Grevillea robust, Mimosa caesalpiniaefolia, Bixa orellana, Euphorbia splendens, Bidens pilosa, Commelina benghalensis, Sida cordifolia, Ageratum conyzoides and Citrus sinensis. It was verified that, except for the E. splendens, all species showed to be favorable to the B. phoenicis population growth. Infected mites, coming from the stock creation, that were transferred and confined in delimited arenas in the intermediate host plants for a period of 7 days, did not lose their capacity to transmit the virus for citric seedlings of Valência and Natal. Non infected mites, that had access to feed for 3 days in the same arenas, became only infected and transmitted the virus for citrus seedlings that fed on: C. benghalensis, S. cordifolia, A. conyzoides, B. pilosa, B. orellana and C. sinensis. Similar results were obtained using mites created, for a period of 90 days, on the same intermediate host plants that were initially infested with infected mites coming from the same stock creation.
