Izraylevich, S., & Gerson, U. 1995a Host scale effects on the parasitic mite Hemisarcoptes coccophagus Meyer and their implications for the biological control of Diaspidid pests.. Israel Journal of Entomology 29: 291-296.

Notes: This experiment demonstrates that different scale stages, species and host plants have a pronounced effect on the parasitization patterns of the mites, implying that these factors should be considered in biological control programs.
