Extract

The pineapple plantations of Mauritius have sustained since 1937 severe attacks of mealybugs (Pseudococcus spp.) which threatened to ruin the whole crop in certain localities. These attacks result in a wilting of the plants, which may be due to a toxin secreted by the bugs during their process of feeding.
