A novel mitovirus associated with the fungal entomopathogen Zoophthora radicans [PDF]
PLoS ONEMetatranscriptome sequencing has emerged as a powerful tool for uncovering viral diversity in insects and their associated microbes. To explore viruses linked to the pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum), we performed metatranscriptome sequencing on field ...

Influence of osmotic pressure on the growth of three species of the genus Zoophthora
Acta Mycologica, 2013 Strains accomodated in the genus Zoophthora are very sensitive to osmotic value of their habitat. Hipertonical molarity of buffers and NaCl decreases the growth, but this effect strongly depends on the species tested and on the kind of buffer.

Entomophthorales fungus: Entomophthora, Zoophthora and Conidiobolus
Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 1993 The paper shows mushroom species of the Entomophthoraceae family known as ";auxiliaries"; of plants. Their classification from the systematic point of view in genera, subgenera and species is a matter of controversy. Morphological and ecological problems

Entomopathogenic Fungi as Mortality Agents in Insect Populations: A Review. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe provide a quantitative review of studies reporting mortality attributable to entomopathogenic fungi in field populations of insects. Overall, data on this subject are surprisingly limited. Nevertheless, they support the conclusion that the assemblages of pathogenic fungi associated with insect populations are diverse but the prevalence mostly ...

Melanaphis sacchari/sorghi complex: current status, challenges and integrated strategies for managing the invasive sap-feeding insect pest of sorghum. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciWe have assembled a group of scientists that work on different aspects of SCA and hereby submit a comprehensive review of the species and its management, with ideas for future research avenues. We believe this review will be of interest to scientists studying plant–insect interactions, and extension entomologists, among others, who work with the ...

Exposure to natural pathogens reveals costly aphid response to fungi but not bacteria. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2014 The mother pea aphid in the middle is able to produce dozens of clonal daughters every day. The spots in her abdomen are the eyes of more developing embryos. Partly because of telescoping generations (the clonal daughters are born with developing embryos of their own) aphids have prodigious reproduction.
