Liphschitz, N., & Mendel, Z. 1989a Interactions between hosts and non-hosts of Pinus spp. and Matsucoccus josephi: anatomical responses of stem to infestation.. New Phytologist 113: 135-142.

Notes: Abstract: Artificial infestation revealed that this scale (Homoptera: Margarodidae) completes its development on three pine species (Pinus brutia, P. eldarica and P. halepensis, whereas only a small number of the scale larvae infesting P. canariensis and P. pinea reached the second instar and none developed to the adult stage; crawlers died while trying to feed on P. radiata and P. pinaster; histological changes of hosts during infestation discussed. Keywords: histology.
