“…The invasion of the Americas by the red palm mite R. indica, the invasion of Asia by the coconut mite Aceria guerreronis (Keifer), the invasion of Africa by Mononychellus tanajoa (Bondar), the invasion of Europe by T. evansi, and the invasion of the Americas, Eurasia and Oceania by the wheat curl mite, Aceria tosichella Keifer are clear examples of the ability of mites to colonize and establish outside their native range (Yaninek and Herren 1988;Peña et al 2012;Navajas et al 2012;Navia et al 2012a, b). The negative impact of alien invasive Acari species, as for many other groups, is unfortunately expected to increase.…”

Because of their small size and tolerance to many of the control procedures used for a wide variety of commodities, Acari species have become one of the fastest, unwanted pest travelers since the beginning of this century. This special issue includes eleven studies on adventive and invasive Acari species affecting major crops and livestock around the world. The nucleus for this special issue is formed by the presentations in the symposium on invasive mites and ticks organized at the International Congress of Acarology in Recife, Brazil (ICA-13), in the summer of 2010. This special issue illustrates the increased concerns about domestic and international invasive mites and ticks worldwide.

“…Early reports indicate that the CGM was accidentally introduced in Africa when cassava was imported from South America. It was first reported in Uganda during the 1970s, from where it spread everywhere in Africa (Megevand et al, 1987;Yaninek and Herren, 1988). Previous studies have reported success in biological control of Mononychellus tanajoa Bondar (M. progresivus Doreste) in warm-humid regions in Africa, when a predatory mite, Typhlodromalus aripo De Leon, of family Phytoseiidae was released from South America (Kariuki et al, 2002;Yaninek and Hanna, 2003).…”

“…O ácaro verde, Mononychellus tanajoa (Bondar), é considerado praga de grande importância econômica para a cultura da mandioca na América do Sul e em países do continente Africano (Yaninek et al, 1989). Em condições de temperatura elevada e umidade relativa baixa, desenvolvem altas infestações, iniciando-se pela parte superior das plantas, atacando as gemas e folhas novas, as quais tornam-se cloróticas e deformadas, com pontuações amareladas (Samways, 1979;Bellotti et al, 1983).…”

“…Em Pernambuco, Brasil, este ácaro tem causado perdas de até 51% na produção de raízes. Na África, as perdas têm atingido até 80% (Byrne et al, 1983;Veiga, 1985;Yaninek & Herren, 1988). …”

Manoel de Medeiros s/n, Dois Irmãos -CEP: 52171-900 -Recife, PE. 2 Bolsista CNPq.*Autor correspondente RESUMO: Extratos de plantas são uma alternativa promissora no controle de ácaros fitófagos. Neste trabalho estudou-se a bioatividade de extratos aquosos de nim, Azadirachta indica A. Juss. e cravo-da-índia, Syzigium aromaticum L., na biologia do ácaro verde da mandioca, Mononychellus tanajoa (Bondar). Larvas recém-eclodidas foram individualizadas em discos de folhas de mandioca previamente imersos nos extratos e em água destilada, e mantidas nestas condições até atingir a fase adulta. Após a emergência, as fêmeas foram individualizadas em discos não tratados e acasaladas com machos coletados da criação estoque. As avaliações foram efetuadas a cada 12 h. As duas maiores concentrações de nim (1,0 e 0,75g do pó de sementes de nim 100 mL -1 de água) deram os melhores resultados, causando 72,5 e 37,5% de mortalidade larval, respectivamente, e até 16% para os estágios seguintes. A mortalidade em todo estágio imaturo foi de 84,6 e 55%, respectivamente. A duração da fase deutocrisálida e teliocrisálida foi levemente afetada, porém significativamente maior para o nim a 1%. Os extratos não afetaram a fecundidade, a qual variou de 6,5 a 8,6 ovos/fêmea/dia. Embora os extratos usados não tenham afetado o período de incubação, nim a 1% reduziu significativamente a viabilidade dos ovos.

This study was carried out to test the bio-activity of neem, Azadirachta indica A. Juss. and clove, Syzigium aromaticum L., aqueous extracts on the behaviour of the cassava green mite, Mononychellus tanajoa (Bondar). Recently hatched larvae were individualized onto cassava leaf discs previously immersed in different concentrations of the extract and in distilled water, and maintained at these conditions until reaching maturity. The females were individualized onto untreated leaf discs right after emergency and mated with males from the rearing stock. The evaluations were taken each 12 h. The two highest neem concentrations (1.0 and 0.75g of ground neem seeds 100 mL -1 water) gave the best results, causing 72.5 and 37.5% of larval mortality, respectively. Mortality of other stages was up 16%. The mortality of the combined immature stages was 84.6 and 55%, at neem concentrations of 1.0 and 0.75%, respectively. The duration of the deutochrysalis and teleiochrysalis stages was slightly but significantly longer for neem at 1.0% probability. The plant extracts did not affect female fecundity, which ranged from 6.5 to 8.6 eggs/female/day. Although the extracts used did not affect the incubation period, neem extract significantly reduced egg viability at 1% probability.
