• Novel Approaches for the Management of Mealybug Pests (2009, background): “The damage caused by mealybugs is linked to sap uptake, honeydew secretion and associated sooty mold development, toxin injection and virus transmission, although the presence of the insects may itself lead to economic losses (Franco et al. 2000 ; Gullan and Martin 2003 ; McKenzie 1967 ; Panis 1969)”
