The fascinating chromosomal cycle leading to facultative heterochromatization in the mealybugs has been a challenging system for mechanistic understanding of the phenomenon of genomic imprinting and epigenetics. The elegant cytological dissection of the various processes reported in the literature is equally fascinating for the researchers of current ...

Mealybugs are well-known sap-sucking insects which transmit plant viruses. They are omnipresent, polyphagous, can cause more damage as pests and are less uncommon as virus vectors. The feeding behavior of these vectors has profound ecological and evolutionary implications for the viruses they transmit, as the acquisition and inoculation of viruses ...

METHODS OF MOLECULAR DISCRIMINATION OF CITRUS MEALYBUG FROM VINE MEALYBUG
Acta Horticulturae, 2011The correct identification of pests is a basic requirement in IPM strategies for crop protection. In the case of Planococcus species the discrimination between similar taxa using morphological features is sometimes difficult because it is based on few microscopic characteristics not easily detectable.

Insecticidal activity of natural products against vineyard mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae)
Crop Protection, 2018Mealybugs are worldwide pests in vineyards due to direct damage and spread of grapevine leafroll disease. The objective of this study was to find natural products valuable as alternatives to synthetic insecticides for their control.

Interactions between white mealybugs and red spider mites sequentially colonizing coffee plants
Journal of applied entomology, 2019Plants under herbivore attack often respond defensively by mounting chemical and physical defences. However, some herbivores can manipulate plant defences to their own benefit by suppressing the expression of induced defences.

Genomic imprinting in the mealybugs
Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2006The coccid insects (Hemiptera; Sternorrhyncha; Aphidiformes; Coccoidea; Pseudococcidae) are well suited to study not only the mechanisms of genomic imprinting but also facultative heterochromatization, a phenomenon well exemplified by inactivation of the X chromosome in female mammals.

Mealybug wilt disease (MWD) is a serious field disease of pineapples worldwide that was first described in Hawaii in 1910. MWD is thought to be caused by a complex involving viruses, mealybugs and ants. The viruses are transmitted by mealybugs, which in turn are tended by ants. Although a number of distinct viruses have been associated with the disease,

Identification of the pheromone of the Comstock mealybug
Life Sciences, 1980Abstract The Comstock mealybug, Pseudococcus comstocki (Kuwana) is a tiny insect that is a serious agricultural pest of citrus, pomegranates, and other fruit in California and elsewhere throughout the world. The fungus that forms on the insect secretions causes severe smutting and results in economic losses to fruit growers.

Sulfur Dioxide Fumigation for Postharvest Control of Mealybugs on Harvested Table Grapes
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2018Laboratory fumigations with sulfur dioxide (SO2) were conducted under ultralow oxygen (ULO) and normal atmosphere to determine their effects on mortality of grape mealybug, Pseudococcus maritimus (Ehrhorn), and vine mealybug, Planococcus ficus Signoret ...
