The Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky), is a polyphagous woodboring beetle that infests and damages hardwood host trees in Asia, Europe, and North America. Native to China and the Korean peninsula, ALB is invasive in both North America and Europe. Due to the large environmental and economic impacts associated with ALB, much effort has been placed on its management and eradication from invaded areas. Eradication programs consist of visual surveys, regulatory quarantines, host removal, public outreach and education, and in some cases, insecticides. Host removal is effective but is laborious and costly, and while insecticides have been useful as a component of some eradication programs, they can be expensive, ineffective, and environmentally detrimental. Thus, several arthropod biological control agents (BCAs) have been evaluated which could support a more environmentally friendly management strategy to supplement traditional ALB management tactics. Here, we review the biological control strategy for ALB, including the exploration within the native and invaded ranges of the pest, to find potential arthropod BCAs. We discuss the ecological premise behind the method as well as the potential for its success, and we identify knowledge gaps and future considerations for the enactment of this method. While biological control shows promise, care will be needed in utilizing this method, and further research must explore the success of BCAs in field settings.
亚洲长角天牛（ALB），学名光肩星天牛（Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky)），是一种多食性蛀木甲虫，在亚洲、欧洲和北美洲侵袭并损害硬木寄主树。亚洲长角天牛原产于中国和朝鲜半岛，在北美洲和欧洲均为入侵物种。由于亚洲长角天牛会对环境和经济造成重大影响，人们已付出诸多努力对其进行管理并将其从入侵地区根除。根除计划包括目视调查、监管检疫、清除寄主、公众宣传与教育，在某些情况下还包括使用杀虫剂。清除寄主有效，但费力且成本高昂，虽然杀虫剂作为某些根除计划的一部分发挥了作用，但它们可能价格昂贵、效果不佳且对环境有害。因此，人们已对几种节肢动物生物防治剂（BCAs）进行了评估，这些生物防治剂可支持采用更环保的管理策略来补充传统的亚洲长角天牛管理策略。在此，我们综述了针对亚洲长角天牛的生物防治策略，包括在害虫的原生分布范围和入侵范围内进行探索，以寻找潜在的节肢动物生物防治剂。我们讨论了该方法背后的生态前提及其成功的可能性，并确定了实施该方法存在的知识空白和未来需要考虑的因素。虽然生物防治显示出前景，但在使用该方法时需谨慎，并且必须进一步研究生物防治剂在田间环境中的成效。
