NEW RECORDS OF ENTOMOPHTHORALEAN FUNGI FROM IRAN
Among 170 insects infected by fungal pathogens, obtained during 2003-08 from three Northern provinces of Iran (Mazandaran, Gilan and Golestan), eight taxa of entomophthoralean fungi were identified including four pathogens of dipteran insects: Entomophaga tipulae was found on a crane fly, Entomophthora muscae was seen on five flies attached to broadbean leaves, Pandora bulata was observed only ...
متن کاملNeozygites microlophii, a new report of Entomophthoralean fungi
Amongst the specimens collected in May 2010, a new entomopathogenic fungus was identified as Neozygites microlophii which is a new record for Iran flora.
متن کاملMicrobial Control of Pests: Entomopathogenic Fungi as Mycoinsecticides
Within the frame of this ISCB project, a biological approach based on the introduction of specific fungi that are highly pathogenic for Helicoverpa, will be developed to control the dreaded pests. Biological control using insectpathogenic fungi as mycoinsecticides is an appealing alternative to the application of chemicals. Entomophthoralean fungi can easily be massproduced on cheap substrates....
متن کاملFirst report of Pandora neoaphidis resting spore formation in vivo in aphid hosts.
The entomopathogenic fungus Pandora neoaphidis is a recognized pathogen of aphids, causes natural epizootics in aphid populations, and interacts and competes with aphid predators and parasitoids. Survival of entomophthoralean fungi in periods of unsuitable weather conditions or lack of appropriate host insects is accomplished mainly by thick-walled resting spores (zygospores or azygospores). Ho...
متن کاملA Third Way for Entomophthoralean Fungi to Survive the Winter: Slow Disease Transmission between Individuals of the Hibernating Host
In temperate regions, insect pathogenic fungi face the challenge of surviving through the winter. Winter is a time when hosts are immobile, low in number or are present in a stage which is not susceptible to infection. Fungi from Entomophthoromycota have so far been known to survive the winter in two ways: either as (1) thick-walled resting spores released into environment from dead hosts, or a...
