Citriculture is of great economic importance to Brazil, the largest producer and exporter of oranges in the world. However, this crop faces several phytosanitary challenges, particularly citrus leprosis, caused by the Citrus leprosis virus (CiLV-C), whose vector is the mite Brevipalpus yothersi. Citrus leprosis control is primarily carried out through the application of synthetic acaricid…
Quantifying the number of Brevipalpus phoenicis mites infected by Citrus Leprosis Virus (CiLV) may contribute to improve the mite sampling techniques and disease management. In addition, the increase in knowledge about the relation between vector mite and CiLV disease would be fundamental to adequate the leprosis control methods. The primary objective of this project will be to quantify t…

Citrus farming is of significant economic importance to Brazil, the world's largest producer and exporter of oranges. However, the sector has several phytosanitary problems, with emphasis on the disease Huanglongbing (HLB) or Greening, considered the most destructive to citrus plants. HLB management primarily relies on repeated applications of chemical insecticides to control the insect v…
Brazil is the world's largest producer of ethanol and sugar produced from the sugarcane Sacharum officinarum L. However, the phytophagous mite Schizotetranychus sacharum (Acari: Tetranychidae) has occurred in population outbreaks in the sugarcane crop in different regions of the State of São Paulo. The biological development of S. sacharum has not been properly studied, as well as there i…
The citrus brown mite Tegolophus brunneus is a species morphologically similar to the citrus rust mite Phyllocoptruta oleivora. In addition, T. brunneus causes symptoms identical to those caused by P. oleivora in citrus plants. Previous studies have verified that these two mite species do not occur simultaneously in the same plant structures or plant. Knowing the ecological interactions b…
The twospotted mite Tetranychus urticae stands out in soybean crop due to the high damage caused and the difficulties in control, mainly due to the rapid evolution of resistance to acaricides. The use of boron (B) in soybean cultivation can be an important tool, as this element is related to the increase of cell wall stiffness, which can make the feeding of phytophagous mites difficult. T…

Brevipalpus yothersi Baker (1949) (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) is one of the most mite species known to cause indirect damages in citrus. The importance of this mite is related to the ability to transmit the virus Citrus leprosis virus, which causes the disease known as citrus leprosis. Since 2004, after the reported Huanglongbing (HLB) disease in Brazil, the frequency of insecticides spraying…
