Pest categorisation of Paracoccus marginatus. [PDF]

EFSA J, 2023
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Paracoccus marginatus (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Pseudococcidae), the papaya scale, for the EU. It is native to Central America and since the 1990s, it has spread rapidly in mainly tropical areas of the Caribbean, islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Africa and southern ...

First report of Pineapple mealybug wilt‐associated virus 1 and 3 associated with mealybug wilt of pineapple disease on pineapple in Malaysia

New Disease Reports, 2023
Mealybug wilt of pineapple (MWP) disease could be a limiting factor for pineapple (Ananas comosus) production worldwide. Pineapple mealybug wilt associated viruses (PMWaVs) have been established as the causative agent of MWP in Cuba and Peru (Hern¡ndez-Rodr±guez et al. 2019; Carrasco-Lozano et al.

Climate Change Drives the Distribution of Insect Vectors for GLRaV-3 on a Global Scale. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The distribution range of seven insect vectors of GLRaV‐3 were predicted by MaxEnt model. Thermal conditions were a vital factor constraining the potential distribution ranges of all vector insects. Centroid shifts suggested that the potential distribution range of soft scale will move northward under climate change. Our study provides implications for

Probing behavior of Dysmicoccus brevipes mealybug in pineapple plants

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2016
Differences in susceptibility to viruses in plants may be partially explained by the insect vector probing behavior and by the presence of phenolic compounds, which are often associated with defense strategies. This study aimed at detecting barriers that

Sexual versus Asexual Reproduction: Distinct Outcomes in Relative Abundance of Parthenogenetic Mealybugs following Recent Colonization. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Asexual reproduction, including parthenogenesis in which embryos develop within a female without fertilization, is assumed to confer advantages over sexual reproduction, which includes a "cost of males." Sexual reproduction largely predominates in ...

Sugar supplementation affects ant-mealybug mutualism and promotes natural enemies for mealybug control in pineapple systems

Biological Control
Honeydew-producing hemipterans establish mutualistic interactions with ants, which collect honeydew while providing protection against natural enemies and other services. Although this association benefits hemipterans, it often exacerbates crop damage by
