During scheduled phytopathological surveys conducted in 2023 in the cities of Donetsk and Mariupol, a new alien invasive species – oleander aphid Aphis nerii Boyer de Fonscolombe, 1841 (Hemiptera: Aphididae), was recorded. Asclepias syriaca L. and Cynanchum acutum L. (Apocynaceae) have been registered as the food plants for this species in the region. Also in 2021, A. nerii was recorded for the first time in Albania. The species' penetration into the European steppe zone will require organization of monitoring systems to assess the condition of oleander collections in botanical gardens and ornamental plantings. The broad polyphagy and involvement of the species in the transmission of dangerous phytopathogenic viruses necessitate monitoring the status of its populations and studying its biological characteristics in the steppe zone.
Financing
The work was conducted within the framework of the state theme FREG-2023-0001 "Invasions of alien organisms into anthropogenic and natural ecosystems of Donbass: development trends, environmental consequences, forecast" (Registration number 123101300197-6).
