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 ...

Amongst the specimens collected in May 2010, a new entomopathogenic fungus was identified as Neozygites microlophii which is a new record for Iran flora.

The cotton aphid fungus, Neozygites fresenii (Entomophthorales: Neozygitaceae) is an important pathogen of the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii (Glover) (Homoptera: Aphididae). The capilliconidia of this pathogenic fungus adhere to the integument of aphids, beginning the cycle of mycosis. Few studies have been conducted that attempt to quantify or examine the points of infection of an entomopathogen...

Four species of entomophthoroid fungi, Pandora neoaphidis (Entomophthorales: Entomophthoraceae), Zoophthora radicans (Entomophthorales: Entomophthoraceae), Entomophthora planchoniana (Entomophthorales: Entomophthoraceae) and Neozygites fresenii (Neozygitales: Neozygitaceae) were found to infect Aphis craccivora, Therioaphis trifolii, and Acyrthosiphon pisum and unidentified species of Acyrthosi...

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...
