Continental dispersal of the cassava green mite, an exotic pest in Africa, and implications for biological control
The continental dispersal of an exotic spider mite species is described for the first time. The cassava green mite,Mononychellus tanajoa (Bondar) (Acari: Tetranychidae), has been found to be dispersed across the cassava belt of Africa in less than 10 years after first being discovered in 1971.
