木薯单爪螨是一种严重危害木薯生长和产量的害虫，对木薯产业的发展构成较大威胁。文章综述了木薯单爪螨的传播过程、危害机制、影响单爪螨危害的因素等方面，总结了已有的关于木薯单爪螨生物防治技术的研究。提出今后需在单爪螨对木薯生理生化特征的影响、木薯单爪螨生物防治的菌株侵染机制以及与环境的关系、搭配利用合适的单爪螨天敌组合进行防治等方面进行深入研究。

Mononychellus tanajoa is a severe pest, owing to its damage to the growth and yield to the cassava，it has been considered a greater threat to the cassava industry. The paper summarized the propagation，damage mechanisms，influencing factors of the damage to the cassava and generalized the researches of existing of the biological control studies. Finally，further studies of Mononychellus tanajoa on the physiological and biochemical characteristics of cassava，biological control strains infecting mechanism to Mononychellus tanajoa，as well as the relationship with the environment, suitable natural enemies collocation to biological control were put forward.
