The complete picture of long-term ecological effects from invasive pests is difficult to measure; and it is too early to determine the effects of the many new invasive pest introductions. Much of the research has focused of the biology of the pests—i.e. life cycle and host preferences—towards understanding how to contain their spread. [10]
Liliaceae are subject to a wide variety of diseases and pests, including insects, such as thrips, aphids, beetles and flies. Also fungi , viruses and vertebrate animals such as mice and deer . [ 48 ] [ 49 ] An important horticultural and garden pest is the scarlet lily beetle (Japanese red lily beetle, Lilioceris lilii ) and other Lilioceris ...
