It is an ectoparasite of an invasive species to Europe and the Americas, [4] the harlequin ladybird (Harmonia axyridis). [5] Laboratory bioassays pointed out that Hesperomyces-infected ladybirds suffered increased mortality rates. [6]
Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1771) – Asian lady beetle, originally from Nepal, China, Taiwan, Japan, introduced to Western Europe and America; Harmonia antipodum (Mulsant, 1848) – antipodean ladybird, endemic to New Zealand; Harmonia basinotata Bielawski, 1964 – New Guinea; Harmonia bicolor (Blackburn, 1892) – Australia
The widespread and invasive Harmonia axyridis. Coccinellidae are found on every continent except Antarctica. [74] Asian and African species are less studied than others. [75] Coccinellids can be found in a variety of habitats, both on the ground and in the trees. They may specialise using certain plants.
When provided with Harmonia axyridis larvae as part of their diet in the first or third instar stage of development, it has been shown that Olla v-nigrum larvae were incapable of surviving to the adult stage. In the first instar, Olla v-nigrum larvae were shown to have a 100% mortality rate when fed exotic H. axyridis eggs.
Parasitylenchus bifurcatus parasitizes Harmonia axyridis, a beetle introduced to Europe from central and South Asia. [7] H. axyridis affects agricultural crops such as apples, pears, and grapes resulting in reduced quality of products made from these crops. [7] [8] Both male and female H. axyridis can be infected by P. bifurcatus. [7]
