The predatory mite Typhlodromalus aripo prefers green-mite induced plant odours from pubescent cassava varieties. [PDF]

Exp Appl Acarol, 2012
It is well known that plant-inhabiting predators use herbivore-induced plant volatiles to locate herbivores being their prey. Much less known, however, is the phenomenon that genotypes of the same host plant species vary in the attractiveness of these ...

Interactions between the predatory mite Typhlodromalus aripo and the entomopathogenic fungus Neozygites tanajoae and consequences for the suppression of their shared prey/host Mononychellus tanajoa. [PDF]

Exp Appl Acarol, 2013
The predatory mite Typhlodromalus aripo and the entomopathogenic fungus Neozygites tanajoae, both introduced from Brazil for control of the cassava green mite (CGM) Mononychellus tanajoa, now co-occur in cassava fields in Benin.

Living at the threshold: Where does the neotropical phytoseiid mite Typhlodromalus aripo survive the dry season? [PDF]

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2007
The establishment of the neotropical predatory mite Typhlodromalus aripo in sub-Saharan Africa has resulted in broadly successful biological control of the cassava green mite Mononychellus tanajoa throughout the cassava belt of Africa.

Feeding on Exudates and Leaves of Cassava Cultivars with Varying Cyanogenic Potentials: Implications for the Biology of Typhlodromalus aripo, a Key Biocontrol Agent of Cassava Green Mite in Africa [PDF]

European Scientific Journal, ESJ
The predatory mite Typhlodromalus aripo, a key biological control agent of the cassava green mite in Africa, is known to feed on cassava exudates and, in the absence of prey, directly on cassava leaves.

Current Status of Phytoseiid Mites as Biological Control Agents in Latin America and Experiences from Argentina Using Neoseiulus californicus. [PDF]

Neotrop Entomol, 2023
Phytoseiidae is a large family of Mesostigmata mites. Members of this family are important biological control agents across the world since they are well-known natural enemies of phytophagous arthropods on cultivated and non-cultivated plants, mainly ...

Cassava whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in East African farming landscapes: a review of the factors determining abundance. [PDF]

Bull Entomol Res, 2018
Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a pest species complex that causes widespread damage to cassava, a staple food crop for millions of smallholder households in Sub-Saharan Africa. Species in the complex cause direct feeding damage to
