调查进行了五种植被类型，以确定在非作物植被，寄主植物Stictococcus vayssierei理查德，在刚果盆地的木薯害虫。沿着样带内的每一个这些植被类型，所有的植物与地下储存结构，包括那些属于植物科已知被使用的S。vayssierei被连根拔起并检查鳞片的存在。经鉴定，该菌的寄主植物有13科16种。vayssierei。其中11种为本地寄主，13种为新发现的寄主。vayssierei。确定了六个新的寄宿家庭。危害程度和分布。vayssierei指出，在长期休耕和次生林和原始林中，本地的藜属物种可能在维持规模方面发挥重要作用，而外来植物如木薯可能有助于S. vayssierei在休耕地中的人口增长少于8年。我们的研究结果表明，破坏和去除S。来自非作物植被的vaysierei寄主植物可能有助于减少S. vaysierei虫害和提高木薯产量。
Surveys were carried out in five vegetation types to identify, in non-crop vegetation, host plants of Stictococcus vayssierei Richard, a pest of cassava in the Congo basin. Along transects within each of these vegetation types, all plants with underground storage structures and including those belonging to the plant families known to be used by S. vayssierei were uprooted and inspected for the presence of the scale. Sixteen plant species belonging to 13 families were identified as hosts of S. vayssierei. Eleven out of the host species are indigenous and 13 are newly identified hosts for S. vayssierei. Six new host families were identified. Infestation levels and the distribution of S. vayssierei indicated that native Dioscorea species may play an important role in the maintenance of the scale in long fallows and in secondary and primary forests, while exotic plants such as cassava may contribute to S. vayssierei population growth in fallows less than eight years old. Our findings suggest that destruction and removal of S. vayssierei host plants from non-crop vegetation might be useful in reducing S. vayssierei infestations and improving cassava yields.
