This chapter describes the biological control of 3 pests of conifers in Africa: the cypress aphid, Cinara cupressivora; the woody adelgid, Pineus boerneri; and the black pine aphid, C. cronartii. The distribution and the biological control agents (such as parasitoids and predators) used for controlling these pests are mentioned.
