Bridal creeper, regarded as a threat to nature conservation values, is widespread in south-west Western Australia and is also present in nature conservation areas in South Australia and Victoria. Preliminary results are given of a survey of fauna and diseases attacking bridal creeper in its native habitat, southern Africa. Potential biological control agents include eurytomid seed wasps; larvae of fruit-feeding Lepidoptera; a rust fungus, Puccinia myrsiphylli; a Crioceris species which eats new shoots and young leaves; a leaf-feeding cicadellid and an unidentified fly which gall shoot tips.
