Bud gall, stunted twigs, and defoliation caused by Eriophyes mangiferae (Sayed).

Infestation of the buds results in arrested growth, with the stunted, short, young stems close together at the terminal branch. When the leaves fall, the overall effect is scant growth of twiggy bunches, with a few stubby, short branchlets and discolored buds. Young trees are most seriously affected.

This species was discovered in Egypt on mango. It has been reported in Brazil, Mexico, India, Venezuela, and Florida. Eriophyes mangiferae was recently collected on galled inflorescences of mango trees in India. However, it is not known whether this mite causes the injury.
