Mealybug Wilt of Pineapple

1992
Mealybug wilt of pineapple (MBW), first described in Hawaii in the early 1900’s (46), is now reported in most areas of the world where pineapple is grown (6, 7, 13/14, 22). The circumstances surrounding MBW epidemics are complex involving multi-trophic interactions between mealybugs (MB), ants, mealybug predators and parasites, pineapple plants and ...

TRANSMISSION CHARACTERISTICS OF PINEAPPLE MEALYBUG WILT ASSOCIATED VIRUS-2 BY THE GREY PINEAPPLE MEALYBUGS DYSMICOCCUS NEOBREVIPES IN HAWAII

Acta Horticulturae, 2011
Pineapple mealybug wilt associated virus-2 (PMWaV-2) is a mealybug transmitted ampelovirus associated with mealybug wilt disease of pineapple (MWP) in Hawaii. The characteristics of PMWaV-2 acquisition and persistence of grey pineapple mealybugs (GPM), Dysmicoccus neobrevipes Beardsley, were measured.

Detection of pineapple closterovirus in pineapple plants and mealybugs using monoclonal antibodies

Plant Pathology, 1996
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced to the pineapple closterovirus (PCV) in Hawaii. These antibodies were shown to be specific for PCV by decoration of the virus particles in immunosorbent electron microscopy (ISEM) and indirect enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Several methods of ELISA were compared.

Weeds Adjacent to Hawaiian Pineapple Plantings Harboring Pink Pineapple Mealybugs

Environmental Entomology, 2006
Abstract Surveys were conducted to identify the weeds bordering Hawaiian pineapple plantings that could serve as hosts for the pink pineapple mealybug, Dysmicoccus brevipes (Cockerell). Collected mealybugs were held to determine parasitization by the encyrtid Anagyrus ananatis Gahan.

MEALYBUG WILT OF PINEAPPLE; A REAPPRAISAL*

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1963
SUMMARYA working hypothesis that a latent factor is involved in mealybug wilt was adopted.The toxic effects of mealybug feeding, apart from mealybug wilt, were demonstrated by the use of mealybugs from host plants not susceptible to wilt and by previously unfed colonies of mealybugs.These toxic effects, interpreted as inducing conditions of stress ...

Survey of the natural enemies of Dysmicoccus mealybugs on pineapple in Hawaii

BioControl, 1999
Surveys for mealybugs, associated natural enemies and ants were conducted in abandoned pineapple fields on the Hawaiian islands of Oahu and Maui from July 1992 to November 1993. Whole plant samples were taken, and mealybugs and ants found were identified.

2021
Abstract Dysmicoccus neobrevipes is a mealybug with a pantropical distribution. It is an economically important pest that can feed on and damage dozens of hosts, principally pineapple and the banana Musa × paradisiaca. The main damage caused by D.

Aetiology of pineapple mealybug wilt disease in Australia [PDF]

open access: possible
To investigate the aetiology of mealybug wilt disease (MWD) in Australian pineapples, a virusdiversity study was completed, in particular to determine what mealybug-transmitted viruses arepresent in pineapple.Pineapple mealybug wilt-associated virus 1 (PMWaV-1), -2 (PMWaV-2) and -3 (PMWaV-3) wereall detected in Australian commercial pineapple crops and
