Training session on the morphological identification of Thysanoptera, with special focus on Thrips palmi Karny, 1925
EVENT CONCLUDED
In 2022, the EURL organizes a training course focused on thrips. The goal is firstly the morphological identification of Thrips palmi, but it actually ambitions a wider scope providing an overview of the order and a methodological guidance for samples preparation. The training will take place in the EURL facilities in Montferrier-sur-Lez (Montpellier) and will last 1,5 days on October 20th-21st. A maximum number of seven attendants per session can be received1. All charges (travel, hotel expenses and daily allowance) will be reimbursed for one NRL representative per EU Member State . The provisionnal program below might still evolve, according to the participants expectations:
- Introduction to Thysanoptera. Ecology, taxonomy, economical importance...
- Overview of classification. Suborders and main families.
- Initiation to the morphology of adult Terebrantia. Anatomy and nomenclature of diagnostic features.
- Sampling and slide-mounting.
- Identification of adult Thrips palmi and related or morphologically close species. Presentation of available documentation and practice.

PT 2022 Thaumatotibia leucotreta
Event concluded, final report available
The proficiency test was organized in 2022 by the Agence nationale de securité sanitaire, de l'alimentation, de l'environnement et du travail (Anses) , as part of its activities as a partner of the European Union Reference Laboratory (EURL) for Insects and Mites. The purpose of this test was to evaluate the participating laboratories on their capacity to implement the EPPO PM7/137(1) standart or any equivalent method to identify T. leucotreta through the analysis of larval specimens.
