The agency that seems poised to take charge is the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service( APHIS). 美国农业部动植物卫生检验局目前正在考虑是否要全权接管这些相关业务。
The service is also drafting rules governing the transportation and release of livestock pests, APHIS scientist Bob Rose says. 动植物卫生检验局的研究员罗斯指出,该机构也开始草拟运输及释放家畜害虫的管理条例。
Aphis glycines, a native species in Asia, has invaded to the major soybean planting regions in US, Canada and Australia in recent years, and become one of most important insect pests in agriculture in the world. 大豆蚜是我国大豆的一种主要害虫,近几年来,大豆蚜已先后侵入美国、拿大和澳大利亚等大豆种植区,成为世界性的重要农业害虫。
aphis aphides
[ noun ] type genus of the Aphididae: injurious to fruit trees and vegetables <noun.animal>
Aphis \A"phis\, n.; pl. {Aphides}. [NL.] (Zo["o]l.) A genus of insects belonging to the order Hemiptera and family {Aphid[ae]}, including numerous species known as plant lice and green flies.
Note: Besides the true males and females, there is a race of wingless asexual individuals which have the power of producing living young in rapid succession, and these in turn may produce others of the same kind for several generations, before sexual individuals appear. They suck the sap of plants by means of a tubular proboscis, and owing to the wonderful rapidity of their reproduction become very destructive to vegetation. Many of the {Aphid[ae]} excrete honeydew from two tubes near the end of the body.
