Effect of Native and Non-native Hosts on the Biology of <I>Acerophagus papayae</I> Noyes and Schauff, the Introduced Parasitoid of <I>Paracoccus marginatus</I> Williams and Granara De Willink

Journal of Biological Control, 2016
The bioecology study of any parasitoid using alternative hosts imposes divergent selection pressures on parasitoid populations. In this study, we investigated the bioecology potential of parasitoid <em>Acerophagus papayae</em> Noyes and Schauff on papaya mealybug <em>Paracoccus marginatus</em> Williams and Granara De Willink ...

EF FECTIVENESS OF THREE INTRODUCED ENCYR TID PARASITIC WASPS (ACEROPHAGUS PAPAYAE, ANAGYRUS LOECKI AND PSEUDLEPTOMASTIX MEXICANA) AGAINST PAPAYA MEALYBUG, PARACOCCUS MARGINATUS, INFESTING MULBERRY IN TAMIL NADU

Journal of Biopesticides, 2013
ABSTRACT Three exotic encyrtid parasitoids viz., Acerophagus papayae, Anagyrus loecki and Pseudleptomastix mexicana, introduced in India during 2010 under the classical biological control programme against an outbreak of papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus, an alien polyphagous pest, were evaluated on mulberry in Tamil Nadu.

Pest categorisation of Paracoccus marginatus

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Paracoccus marginatus (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Pseudococcidae), the papaya scale, for the EU. It is native to Central America and since the 1990s, it has spread rapidly in mainly tropical areas of the Caribbean, islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Africa and southern ...

The potential global distribution of the papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus, a polyphagous pest

Pest Management Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, Page 1361-1370, March 2021., 2021
In the present study we present, for the first time, the potential global distribution of Paracoccus marginatus in order to highlight areas which are suitable for invasion. Abstract BACKGROUND The papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus, is a highly polyphagous invasive pest that affects more than 200 plants, many of which are of economic importance. We
