Article Synopsis
- Pseudococcus comstocki is an invasive mealybug pest affecting apple and pear trees, identified in northern Italy and southern France since the early 2000s.
- The study aimed to identify potential biocontrol agents in France by characterizing local populations of P. comstocki and their associated parasitoids, using DNA-barcoding techniques.
- The research highlighted three mealybug species and over 16 parasitoid taxa, ultimately selecting Allotropa burrelli and Acerophagus malinus as promising candidates for a biocontrol program against P. comstocki.
