臺灣入侵害蟎之簡介

Abstract

臺灣的入侵害蟎很難予判定，因為蟎蜱學是一門新興的科學，有關的研究多在本世紀，尤其是第二次世界大戰之後。臺灣現在之作物害蟎中，有多少種類是原有者，多少是入侵者，無法判斷。目前可確定的入侵者有二點葉蟎 (Tetranychus uricae Koch)、橫紋葉蟎 (Tetranychus viennensis Zacher) 及歐洲葉蟎 (Panonychus ulmi (Koch)) 為害臺灣之溫果樹。尤以前者為最，是臺灣溫帶果樹最主要的害蟲。 Most researches on acarology were carried in this century, especially after the World War Ⅱ. This makes the interpretation of the exotic mite species of Taiwan to be extremely difficult. Currently, only 3 spider mite species are assured to be exotic. These are Tetranychus urticae Koch, T. viennensis Zacher and Panonychus ulmi (Koch). These mites had become important pests of the temperate fruit trees in Taiwan.
