Abstract

Cassava Lace Bugs (CLB) are native pest of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz, Euphorbiaceae) to the Neotropical Region, mainly in Brazil. On the other hand, East Java was the first region in Indonesia to record the presence of CLB in 2021, however, it has not been reported in other regions in Indonesia. Therefore, the very importance to recognise the occurrence of CLB in other regions in Indonesia. Based on this, the research has been carried out starting with a field survey, observing behaviour of insect in the field and identify morphologically in the laboratory. The survey results show that the infestation of CLB has been found in lowland, medium, and highland areas in Bali. Symptoms of infestation on the upper leaf surface are small yellow spots with brownish variations. Based on the identification key, CLB from Bali Indonesia, shows a characteristic of a head with a pair of frontal spines. Based on this evidence, the CLB insect can be identified as Vatiga illudens (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Tingidae). It is the first report of novel distribution areas for V. illudens in Bali, Indonesia. The results of this research are important because V. illudens is one of the main pests of cassava.

Abstract

Vein banding disease has affected young strawberry leaves in Bali over the past five years. Caused by Strawberry vein banding virus (SVBV), the disease is primarily associated with fruit size reduction, though its exact impact remains unclear. This study aims to assess symptom variation, disease severity, and the molecular characteristics of SVBV in Bali strawberry plants. Field observations and molecular identification were conducted using PCR with SVBV-specific primers targeting the CP gene. Samples were collected from ten locations in Bali, including Pancasari, Candikuning, Wanagiri, Gobleg, and Kembang Merta. SVBV DNA from Candikuning, Pancasari, and Kembang Merta was successfully amplified, confirming SVBV infection as the cause of vein banding symptoms. SVBV induces vein banding with upward and downward leaf curling. Disease incidence was highest in Pancasari 1 and 3 (80%) and lowest in Wanagiri 1 and Gobleg (20–28%). Disease severity ranged from 13% to 83%, with the highest recorded in Pancasari, Buleleng, and the lowest in Kembang Merta, Tabanan. Molecular analysis revealed that the SVBV isolate from Bali shares 99.3–100% sequence homology with Chilean isolates. Phylogenetic analysis showed clustering with SVBV isolates from the United States, Brazil, and Chile. This study provides the first molecular characterization of SVBV in Bali, contributing to a better understanding of its epidemiology and potential impact on strawberry production.
