African Journal of Biotechnology, 2003 Banana weevil is a serious pest of bananas and plantains in Africa. The development of resistant cultivars is seen as the long term and more sustainable control strategy. The difficulty in conventional breeding of bananas and plantains has prompted efforts towards the use of genetic transformation for banana and plantain improvement.

Trapping the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, Germar: a mathematical perspective
, 2019 A logistic equation incorporating trapping is formulated and parameterized to represent the population dynamics of the banana weevil, Cosmopolites Sordidus, (Germar). The steady states are obtained and their asymptotic stability established. The expression for the critical intrinsic growth rate is derived and its implications analyzed. The existence of
