对留尼汪岛被蓟马侵染的温室内采集的植物寄生螨类标本进行了鉴定。由于采样的物种属于Amblyseius属，目前有415种出了名的难以区分，因此对其形态和分子特征进行了评估。形态和DNA比对表明，采集的标本属于十多年前在欧洲和北美市场推出的一种成功的生防剂--螺旋藻Amblyseius swirskii。这一发现是出乎意料的，因为这一种在世界的这一部分从未被报道；因此被怀疑是偶然引入的。
The identity of specimens of phytoseiid mites collected inside greenhouses infested by thrips in La Reunion Island was assessed. As the sampled species belongs to the genus Amblyseius, presently containing 415 species which are notoriously difficult to discriminate, morphological and molecular traits were evaluated. Both morphological and DNA comparisons showed that the collected specimens belong to the species Amblyseius swirskii, a successful biological control agent introduced in the market more than ten years ago in Europe and Northern America. This finding was unexpected, as this species was never reported in this part of the world; an accidental introduction is thus suspected.
