The West Indian drywood termite <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"><jats:italic>Cryptotermes brevis<\/jats:italic><\/jats:styled-content> (Walker) is an example and is a concern in structural lumber, furniture, and other wood products. Despite its importance, its tropical wood preferences and the wood physical characteristics contributing to resistance have not been investigated to date. Here, we developed wood testing units to allow the X\u2010ray recording of termite colonization and then subsequently tested tropical wood resistance to the termite through free\u2010choice and no\u2010choice bioassays using these wood testing units. The relevance of wood density and hardness as determinants of such resistance was also tested, as was termite mandible wear.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>The wood testing units used allowed the assessment of the termite infestation and wood area loss, enabling subsequent choice bioassays to be performed.
