飞蝗研究进展

Research progress on migratory locust, Locusta migratoria

飞蝗作为农业重大害虫 ,其分布遍及欧洲、亚洲、非洲和澳洲。全世界共有 1 0个亚种 ,我国有3个亚种。飞蝗不但分布广 ,而且数量多、发生频率高 ,危害极为严重。作者在查阅了国内外近 2 0年文献资料的基础上 ,结合我国蝗害情况 ,分别从形态、组织、生理、生化、遗传、毒理及分子系统学等方面综述了国内外飞蝗的研究进展 ,以期对我国飞蝗的基础及应用研究提供参考。

Migratory locusts are a serious pest species in agriculture.They are widely distributed in Europe,Asia,Africa and Australia.Locusta migratoria(Linnaeus) is classified into ten subspecies based on morphological differences and geographical distribution and is represented by three subspecies in China.Migratory locusts are widespread, reach exceedingly high numbers and are especially damaging to agriculture when in their gregarious,migratory phase.This paper reviews recent progress in the areas of anatomy,physiology,biochemistry,genetics,toxicology and molecular systematics of L. migratoria at home and abroad with the aim of providing some useful references for basic and applied research on L. migratoria in China.
