The coffee berry blister midge, Contarinia coffeae sp.n., a new pest from Uganda
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2009
Extract
Contarinia coffeae sp.n. is described from specimens reared from Coffea arabica in Uganda, and brief notes are given on symptoms, biology, crop loss and distribution. The larvae develop inside young coffee berries. Blister-like external swellings appear on infested berries and they later rot. The pest is known only from arabica coffee in parts of Western Uganda but may be spreading and could appear in other East and Central African countries.
