“…Meanwhile, the lowest percentage of trees with medium and high degrees of infestation would require greater urban monitoring for the control of hemiparasites. Pazini et al (2020) state that aff orestation of the campus of the UFMT in Cuiabá is rich, with great diversity of species with ideal proportions of native Brazilian species. Corroborating with Silva and Fadini (2017), who claim that population diversity with native species can reduce the infestation of hemiparasites and costs with urban aff orestation.…”

“…In the present study Psittacanthus had a greater number of hosts compared to the others (Tables 1, 2 and 3). Pazini et al (2020) highlighted the most frequent species: Licania tomentosa (8.9%) Mangifera indica (7.8%), Jacaranda cuspidifolia (6.3%), Handroanthus impetiginosus, (5.4%), and Anadenanthera peregrina (4.4%). In the most frequent species, belonging to six families, an infestation greater than 50% was recorded, with emphasis on Terminalia catappa, Combretaceae, from Anadenanthera peregrina, Fabaceae, and Pouteria gardneri, Sapotaceae.…”

Mistletoe is an important nutritional resource for the frugivorous ornithological fauna in several ecosystems. However, in great intensity, they can reduce the vigor of their host trees, requiring adequate management in urban afforestation, without depleting this source of food for birds. The hypothesis that there are hemiparasites with host specificity was the reason for this study. Thus, a floristic census of the trees was carried out at UFMT, campus Cuiabá; the infestation by genus of hemiparasite present was recorded, in quantity and degree of infestation, in addition to the quantification of seeds of the hemiparasite germinated without the development of the vegetative part, whose cotyledons necrotized and died. A total of 4265 tree individuals were evaluated, distributed in 46 families, in which 16,52% were identified of the genera Phoradendron, Psittacanthus, and Struthanthus, of which about 90,0% were Psittacanthus. The highest infestation occurred in 24 families, highlighting Fabaceae (28,3%) and Combretaceae (25,6%), and the species Terminalia catappa, Anadenanthera peregrina, and Vatairea macrocarpa. The presence of germinated seeds of the hemiparasite with dead cotyledons varies between tree species and between individuals of the same species. The highlight was in Rutaceae, Arecaceae, and Rubiaceae, and in the species Acrocomia aculeata, Caryocar villosum, and Genipa americana L. that present individuals with natural control potential, even with the presence of frugivorous ornithological fauna and the dispersion of the hemiparasite. In general, the intensity and degree of infestation are low, and there is no infestation in the Caryocaceae, Rutaceae, and Rubiaceae families, highlighting the species Caryocar villosum, Murraya paniculata and Alibertia edulis.
