The project aims to identify naturally occurring micro-organisms to increase the effectiveness of Green Guard ®, which is a biopesticide used against the Australian plague locust. The project will use next-generation sequencing and other molecular techniques to potentially identify candidate microbes or combinations of microbes that can be added to Green Guard to enhance locust susceptibility. The project also aims to quantify the interactive impact of temperature and nutrition on immune function, disease resistance and host-plant quality of plague locusts; and to explore the combined effects of temperature, habitat and Green Guard, in combination with candidate microbes or pathogens, on the behaviour and collective movement of locusts. It is anticipated that this will have implications for management and control strategies.

该项目旨在识别自然存在的微生物，以提高绿色卫士®的有效性，这是一种用于防治澳大利亚蝗灾的生物农药。该项目将使用下一代测序和其他分子技术来潜在地识别候选微生物或微生物组合，这些微生物或微生物组合可以添加到Green Guard中，以提高蝗虫的易感性。该项目还旨在量化温度和营养对蝗灾蝗虫免疫功能、抗病性和寄主植物质量的相互影响；并探索温度、栖息地和Green Guard以及候选微生物或病原体对蝗虫行为和集体运动的综合影响。预计这将对管理和控制战略产生影响。
