Neozygites tanajoae sp. nov., a pathogen of the cassava green mite.
The fungal pathogen Neozygites tanajoae Delalibera Jr., Humber & Hajek sp. nov. (Zygomycetes: Entomophthorales) is being used in Africa as a biological control agent against the introduced cassava green mite (CGM), Mononychellus tanajoa (Bondar) (Acari: Tetranychidae). This fungus is specific to CGM and has been referred to as N. floridana (Weiser & Muma) Remaud. & Keller, a common pathogen of ...
متن کاملUse of cell culture media for cultivation of the mite pathogenic fungi Neozygites tanajoae and Neozygites floridana.
The pathogenic fungus Neozygites tanajoae, one of the most efficient natural enemies of the cassava green mite (CGM) Mononychellus tanajoa in Brazil, was introduced experimentally in Benin in 1998/1999 for the control of CGM. Isolation methods and culture media for in vitro production of N. tanajoae are reported for the first time in this study. Continuous growth of N. tanajoae was achieved usi...
متن کاملGrowth of the Mite Mononychellus Tanajoa (acari: Tetranychidae) on Alternative Plant Hosts in Northeastern Brazil
Cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz (Euphorbiaceae), is one of the main food crops cultivated by small land holders in tropical areas of South America and Africa (CIAT 1990). It is also grown on a large scale in Thailand, Indonesia and several other Asian countries. The cassava green mite, Mononychellus tanajoa (Bondar), is one of the most destructive pests of this crop in parts of South America ...
متن کاملEffects of ultraviolet radiation on predatory mites and the role of refuges in plant structures.
Most studies on ecological impact of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation generally focus on plants. However, UV radiation can also affect organisms at other trophic levels. Protection against mortality induced by solar UV has, therefore, been hypothesized as one of the reasons why Typhlodromalus aripo hides in the apex of cassava plants during the day and comes out at night to prey on spider mites...
متن کاملAbiotic and Biotic Factors Affecting Resting Spore Formation in the Mite Pathogen Neozygites floridana
Neozygites floridana is an obligate mite pathogenic fungus in the Entomophthoromycota. It has been suggested that resting spores of this fungus are produced as a strategy to survive adverse conditions. In the present study, possible mechanisms involved in the regulation of resting spore formation were investigated in the hosts Tetranychus urticae and Tetranychus evansi. Abiotic and biotic facto...
