This project aims to establish new diagnostic methods for potentially invasive beetle species, which can occur within plant health control. These methods include classical morphological determination keys for microscopic identification of beetles and their larvae, as well as molecular methods (PCR). In addition, new methods for the molecular analysis of populations of certain beetle species will be developed. This will allow to compare individuals and populations of beetles from different infested areas and to trace probable invasions of these species, e.g. the Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis). This research project intends to prevent risks for plant health issues in Germany.
