A novel mitovirus associated with the fungal entomopathogen Zoophthora radicans [PDF]
Metatranscriptome 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 ...

Natural occurrence of infections of the spittlebug Philaenus spumarius by the entomopathogenic fungi Zoophthora radicans and Batkoa major in Northwest Italy [PDF]
An infection event of the spittlebug Philaenus spumarius (Hemiptera, Aphrophoridae) has been described, for the first time, in northwest Italy. The causative agents were two entomopathogenic fungi belonging to Entomophthorales, specifically Zoophthora ...

First reports of Zoophthora radicans (Entomophthoraceae) and Metarhizium rileyi (Clavicipitaceae) as pathogens of Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) in Argentina [PDF]
Plutella xylostella (L.), diamondback moth (DBM), is considered among the 20 most resistant arthropods in the world. Entomopathogenic fungi are important mortality factors of lepidopteran in the field.

A novel piece of equipment, the sporulation monitor, is described for the comparison of conidia production from mycelia receiving diVerent formulation and storage treatments. This equipment was used to compare the viability of Zoophthora radicans mycelial samples treated either with 10% maltose solution or with distilled water before drying and storage

Entomopathogenic Fungi as Mortality Agents in Insect Populations: A Review. [PDF]
We 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 ...

Abiotic and Biotic Factors Affecting Resting Spore Formation in the Mite Pathogen Neozygites floridana. [PDF]
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 ...

The effect of four different temperatures (15, 20, 25 and 30°C) on the in vitro growth of 19 isolates of Pandora blunckii and 14 isolates of Zoophthora radicans from Plutella xylostella larvae was investigated. Both species grew more at 20 and 25°C than the other two temperatures. However, Z. radicans grew more than P. blunckii at 20 and 25°C.
