His early research was on tobacco pests including work on insecticide screening and the economic impact of these pests. As the tobacco industry declined Cunningham turned to mango and coffee diseases and pests. His book guide Biology and management of field pests of mangoes (c.1991) is considered the definitive field guide. In the 1990s he had a significant role, with colleagues from CSIRO and the Queensland Museum, in planning the 2-year insect survey component of the Cape York Peninsula Land Use Strategy. 1972 1972 Education - MAgrSc, University of Queensland 1976 1976 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Queensland 'Cunningham, Ian Cameron', in Encyclopedia of Australian Science and Innovation, Centre for Transformative Innovation, Swinburne University of Technology Cunningham, Ian Cameron Swinburne University of Technology, Centre for Transformative Innovation Encyclopedia of Australian Science and Innovation Journal Article: Ian Cameron Cunningham 22 May 1939 - 19 March 2017 Fay, Harry; and Monteith, Geoff Ian Cameron Cunningham 22 May 1939 - 19 March 2017 2017 Entomological Society of Queensland newsletter 45 7 128-31
