Towards the development of sustainable control options for the African root and tuber scale on cassava in Central Africa understanding the ecology of the associated ant Anoplolepis tenella
Group surveys were conducted in five villages in each of the three resource-use zones of the humid forest zone of Southern Cameroon, to assess insect pests’ incidence and the variation due to forest landscape degradation in the agricultural production systems. 389 farmers were interviewed. The re...

Stictococcus vayssierei is a major pest of root and tuber crops in central Africa. However, data on its ecology are lacking. Here we provide an updated estimate of its distribution with the aim of facilitating the sustainable control of its populations. Surveys conducted in nine countries encompa...

Species composition and fruit fly infestation levels of 12 wild and cultivated cucurbits were determined in field surveys and in on-station trial in Benin. Six fruit fly species including Dacus ciliatus, D. vertebratus, D. bivittatus, D. frontalis, D. Punctatifrons and Bactrocera cucurbitae, were...

In 2003, the invasive fruit ßy Bactrocera invadens Drew, Tsuruta & White (Diptera:
Tephritidae) (Drew et al. 2005), of possible Sri Lankan origin, has been detected in the East and about
1 yr later in West Africa. In regular surveys in Benin and Cameroon covering 4 yr, samples from 117

The African root and tuber scale Stictococcus vayssierei Richard is the only known hypogeal species of the family Stictococcidae. Its wide range of host plants together with concurrently field observed differences in host preference provided evidence of polyphagy or the involvement of more than a...
