Biological Control of the Cassava Mealybug, Phenacoccus manihoti (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae), in Zambia

Biological Control, 1994
Abstract Surveys were carried out in Zambia twice yearly from 1986 to 1990, to assess the impact of a biological control campaign against the cassava mealybug (CM), Phenacoccus manihoti Mat.-Ferr., throughout the infested area. From 1984 onward, the exotic parasitoid Epidinocarsis lopezi (De Santis) (Hym., Encyrtidae) and some exotic coccinellid ...

The Fungus Metarhizium sp. BCC 4849 Is an Effective and Safe Mycoinsecticide for the Management of Spider Mites and Other Insect Pests

Insects, 2021
Five isolates of Metarhizium sp. were evaluated for their pathogenicity against the spider mite (Tetranychus truncatus Ehara) (Acari: Tetranychidae) and Metarhizium sp. BCC 4849 resulted in the highest mortality (82%) on the 5th day post-inoculation (DPI)

Ultrastructure of sensory receptors on the labium of the cassava mealybug, Phenacoccus manihoti Matile Ferrero

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1995
AbstractThe ultrastructure of the sensory receptors located on the labium of the cassava mealybug Phenacoccus manihoti Matile‐Ferrero (Homoptera, Pseudococcidae) was studied with scanning and transmission electron microscopes. Trichoid hairs of probable mechanoreceptive function are distributed over the labium.

Thermal Limits and Future Climate Projections Indicate Declining Habitat Suitability for Mealybug Species of Citrus in Africa

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
The mean critical thermal maxima varied significantly across species with Delottococcus aberiae showing the highest heat tolerance, whereas Planococcus citri recorded the lowest. All mealybug species exhibited substantial contractions in climatically suitable areas by 2100, with Pseudococcus calceolariae recording the greatest proportional decline ...

Plant Traits and Reproduction in a Multitrophic System: The Role of Aphids, Parasitoids and Hyperparasitoids

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 822-830, August 2026.
This field mesocosm study examined the top‐down effects of hyperparasitoids, parasitoids and aphids on plant growth and fitness. Parasitoids reduced aphid populations, but this effect was attenuated by hyperparasitoids. However, these multitrophic interactions did not affect plant traits and reproduction, likely due to the plant's fast life cycle and ...

Impact of the Exotic Parasitoid Epidinocarsis Lopezi on Cassava Mealybug (Phenacoccus Manihoti) Populations

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 1987
Epidinocarsis lopezi an exotic parasitoid to Africa, was first released to control the cassava mealybug (CM), Phenacoccus manihoti, at IITA (Ibadan) in November 1981, and a year later at Abeokuta, both in southwestern Nigeria. Population dynamics study of CM and its natural enemies was conducted for 4 years.
