Studies on intraguild interactions between phytoseiid species have shown that intraguild predation occurs and is most commonly manifested as adult females of one species feeding on juveniles of another. Whether such intraguild interactions can also occur between adult females of one species and a...
The coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis Keifer, has been identified as one of the pests that pose a threat to the coconut industry in Benin. The study presents the simulation results of the economic benefits of the biological control of coconut mites in Benin using a standard economic surplus model....
Two new mite species of the family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) are described from southern Africa: Typhlodromalus parcidentatusn. sp. from Mozambique and Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) malawiensisn. sp. from Malawi.
The attraction of the predatory mites, Typhlodromalus manihoti and Typhlodromalus aripo, to the host plant-spider mite complex, Manihot esculenta–Mononychellus tanajoa, was investigated with a Y-tube olfactometer. Factors examined included predator starvation period, several combinations of cassa...

An experiment was conducted over two years (in 2004 and 2005) at the research station of the National Institute of Agricultural Study and Research (INERA) in Mvuazi, Bas-Congo province to determine the incidence of the cassava mosaic disease (CMD) in relation to the source of planting material an...
Banana bunchy top disease (BBTD), an invasive and devastating viral disease, is widespread in banana-producing areas in Sub-Saharan Africa. Recovery of banana production in BBTD-affected areas was undertaken in a research project through the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (CR...
Fopius arisanus (Sonan), a solitary koinobiont endoparasitoid of fruit flies, was introduced for testing and final release against the recently discovered species Bactrocera invadens Drew, Tsuruta and White in Africa. Laboratory experiments were conducted to assess host preference, host acceptabi...
