GRAPEVINE VEIN-CLEARING VIRUS IS MEALYBUG-BORNE BUT NOT MEALYBUG-TRANSMITTED
The Iraqi Journal of Agricultural science, 2023 This article investigates the ability of two types of mealybugs, citrus (Planococcus citri) and longtailed (Pseudococcus longispinus) mealybugs, of acquiring and transmitting Grapevine vein-clearing virus (GVCV) in a greenhouse setting.

Sugar provisioning for ants enhances biological control of mealybugs in citrus [PDF]
, 2021 In many agroecosystems, the implementation of an integrated pest management (IPM) program against mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is undermined by the presence of ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).

Biological control of mealybugs with lacewing larvae is affected by the presence and type of supplemental prey [PDF]
BioControl (Dordrecht), 2016 The diversity of prey and food sources in crops has a major effect on biological pest control by generalist predators. In this study, we tested if and how supplemental prey or food affects the control of the citrus mealybug Planococcus citri (Risso) by ...

Molecular evidence of Cacao swollen shoot virus acquisition and retention by Planococcus citri (Risso) and Pseudococcus longispinus (Targioni-Tozzetti) and Pseudococcus viburni (Signoret) Mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) [PDF]
, 2018 - Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV) remains a significant viral pathogen endemic in West African cacao-growing countries. Eradication of affected trees (complete removal) and resistance breeding in existing cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) germplasm have not ...
