| dc.description | The Limarí River valley, located in the Coquimbo Region of Chile, is an important area for agricultural production that pertains to the transverse valleys ecoregion, known as Norte Chico. In recent decades, the continuous expansion of agriculture towards the dryland areas has favored the introduction and establishment of potential pests, such as arthropods, that may affect forestry crops and transmit zoonotic diseases. We analyzed the arthropod assemblages that were of forestry and medical-veterinary importance in the Limarí basin. After reviewing historical data, specimen collections, and the available literature, a total of 10 families, 39 genera, and 51 species of arthropods of forestry importance were recorded, 43.1% of which were of quarantine importance. Xylophagous groups of quarantine importance to the US included Cryptotermes brevis (Kalotermitidae), Neoterius mystax (Bostrichidae), Tyndaris planata (Buprestidae), Rhyephenes humeralis (Curculionidae) and Phoracantha recurva (Cerambycidae). Other quarantine insects of forestry importance recorded in the area included were Micrapate scabrata and Polycaon chilensis (Bostrichidae). In addition, the groups of medical-veterinary importance were represented by 11 families, 14 genera, and 18 species, 9 of which were arachnids and 9 were insects. Among the identified arachnids, the most important genera were Loxosceles (Sicariidae), Latrodectus, Steatoda (Theridiidae) and Rhipicephalus (Ixodidae), whereas among the identified insects, the most important were Triatoma and Mepraia (Reduviidae), Pediculus (Pediculidae), and Ceratophyllus (Ceratophyllidae). We hope this study serves as a basis for the development of forest pest monitoring and control programs as well as an understanding of the potential risks posed by zoonotic agents and their implications for public health. | en-US |
| dc.description | El valle del río Limarí, en la Región de Coquimbo, es un importante foco de producción agrícola en los valles transversales del Norte Chico. En las últimas décadas, la constante expansión de los cultivos agrícolas hacia zonas de secano ha permitido la introducción y establecimiento de potenciales plagas, como los artrópodos, que pueden afectar las producciones forestales y constituir elementos zoonóticos. Se analizó la importancia forestal y médico-veterinaria de los artrópodos de la cuenca del Limarí. Mediante la revisión de bases de datos históricas, colecciones y literatura disponible, se registró un total de 10 familias, 39 géneros y 51 especies de artrópodos de importancia forestal, de las cuales el 43,1% fueron de importancia cuarentenaria. Entre los elementos xilófagos de importancia cuarentenaria para EE.UU. destacaron los registros de Cryptotermes brevis (Kalotermitidae), Neoterius mystax (Bostrichidae), Tyndaris planata (Buprestidae), Rhyephenes humeralis (Curculionidae) and Phoracantha recurva (Cerambycidae). Otros insectos de importancia forestal reportados fueron Micrapate scabrata y Polycaon chilensis (Bostrichidae). Por su parte, los elementos de importancia médico-veterinario estuvieron representados por 11 familias, 14 géneros y 18 especies, de las cuales 9 especies correspondieron a arácnidos y 9 a insectos. Dentro de los arácnidos destacaron los géneros Loxosceles (Sicariidae), Latrodectus, Steatoda (Theridiidae) and Rhipicephalus (Ixodidae), mientras que dentro de los insectos las más importantes fueron Triatoma y Mepraia (Reduviidae), Pediculus (Pediculidae), y Ceratophyllus (Ceratophyllidae). Se espera que la información del presente estudio sirva de base para desarrollar programas de monitoreo y control de potenciales plagas forestales, así como también entender los potenciales riesgos de elementos zoonóticos con implicancias para la salud pública. | es-ES |
