Santa-Cecília, L.V.C., Matioli, J.C., & Ciociola, A.I. 1992 [Effects of climatic factors on the pineapple mealybug Dysmicoccus brevipes (Cockerell, 1893) (Homoptera, Pseudococcidae) in the principal production regions of the state of Minas Gerais.]. Anais da Sociedade Entomologica do Brasil 21(1): 135-145.

Notes: Abstract: Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the most important climatic factor is rainfall, which has an adverse effect on pest populations; higher infestation levels were generally associated with lower values of relative humidity and maximum temperature.
