Fungal pathogens as classical biological control agents against arthropods (2010, background): “longipes (Furtado et al. 2007) because this natural enemy had already been shipped from Brazil to Kenya for experimental releases.”
Revision of the lifestyles of phytoseiid mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) and implications for biological control strategies (2013, background): “Despite that effort, only a single species of predator, Phytoseiulus longipes (Evans), was found as potentially useful for the control of that pest, showing preference for T. evansi over T. urticae as prey (Furtado et al. 2006, 2007; Ferrero et al. 2007; Silva et al. 2010).”
Recent emergence and worldwide spread of the red tomato spider mite, Tetranychus evansi: genetic variation and multiple cryptic invasions (2010, background): “%) was found in some parts of the West Mediterranean region (France-South, Spain-North East and Portugal) and in the Atlantic Brazilian Coast which includes the North East, South East and South Brazil samples.”
