Distribution, Biology, Damage and Control Methods of Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky), 1853 (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae)

The Asian long-horned beetle (ALB), Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky), is a polyphagous sapwood borer cerambycid beetle found in many hardwood species and capable of killing healthy trees. ALB is a native Asian pest but as a result of international trade, it is introduced to new places. According to the observations, It's mainly occuring in China, Japan, Korea; less occuring in Malaysia, Myanmar, Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines; invasive species occuring; North America, Canada, Denmark, Holland, France, Italy, Romania. The main purpose of eradication applications are detection, identification and success of control. We can list the studies about ALB until today as; ALB detected countries, epidemi mechanism, ALB detected regions, control methods, how it transfers and, which tree species are affected, international efforts to prevent new introductions. These studies have been reviewed to express control strategies of the ALB which spreads between countries by solid wood packaging, decorating plants and small trees as a trade.
