Abnormal leaf growth, including stunted leaves, outward curling, leaf yellowing, and diminishing overall tree vigor of Pouteria sapota [(Jacq.) H.E. Moore et Stearn] (Sapotaceae) was observed in multiple locations in Southern Florida and one location in Brazil. In search for possible causal agents of these damages, a new mite species of the family Eriophyidae was found persistently infesting closed leaf buds of P. sapota. It was morphologically described and named Eriophyes pouteriae sp. nov.; DNA sequences of usual regions were also obtained. This is the first eriophyoid mite associated with P. sapota.

Abstract
Abnormal leaf growth, including stunted leaves, outward curling, leaf yellowing, and diminishing overall tree vigor of Pouteria sapota [(Jacq.) H.E. Moore et Stearn] (Sapotaceae) was observed in multiple locations in Southern Florida and one location in Brazil. In search for possible causal agents of these damages, a new mite species of the family Eriophyidae was found persistently infesting closed leaf buds of P. sapota. It was morphologically described and named Eriophyes pouteriae sp. nov.; DNA sequences of usual regions were also obtained. This is the first eriophyoid mite associated with P. sapota.File in questo prodotto:
