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.

Dysmicoccus neobrevipes (grey pineapple mealybug).

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]

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

Serology of a Closteroviruslike Particle Associated with Mealybug Wilt of Pineapple

Phytopathology, 1989
(...) Specific reactions between IgG specific to pineapple virus and virus from pineapple plants were shown by serologically specific electron microscopy, Ouchterloney double diffusion tests, and ELISA. The etiological significance of this pineapple virus remains to be determined.

Detection and elimination of mealybug wilt-associated viruses in pineapple [PDF]

Mealybug wilt disease (MBW) remains the most significant field disease of pineapples today. Currently two different virus types have been found to infect pineapples in Australia (Wakman et al., 1995) and Hawaii (Gunasinghe and German, 1989; Hu et al., 1996), Pineapple bacilliform virus (PBV) and pineapple closterovirus(es) (PCV).
