Abstract

Maconellicoccus hirsutus is a polyphagous insect that attacks a wide range of woody plants. This pest has caused large agricultural losses of 10 to 18 million dollars. This study aimed to evaluate the research trend on M. hirsutus. Articles were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database and network maps were made using the VOSviewer software. A bibliometric analysis of 122 research papers published from 1971 to 2021 was carried out. The bibliographic coupling between countries was 20, mainly with the United States. The co-citations of references was 69. The analysis of the co-occurrence of 35 keywords showed that the studies on M. hirsutus split into four groups. Four of the top six articles with more than 50 accumulated citations were published in Bulletin of Entomological Research, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, and Biological Control. In general, research on M. hirsutus has been directed mainly towards biological control with Anagyrus kamali and the search for predators, pheromones, and entomopathogenic fungi.
