L. Beaudoin et al., AN ENTOMOPOXVIRUS OBSERVED IN ADORETUS-VERSUTUS HAROLD (COLEOPTERA, SCARABAEIDAE, RUTELINAE) IN FIJI, International journal of pest management, 40(1), 1994, pp. 66-68
A phytosanitary survey on Vanua Levu island (Fiji) revealed a high per
centage of Adoretus versutus larvae affected by an entomopoxvirus. Thi
s virus would appear to be a natural cause of mortality in larval popu
lations of the leaf-feeding pest.
