Aphid-pathogenic Entomophthorales (their taxonomy, biology and ecology)
The aim of this review is to cover the present status of knowledge about the natural enemies of aphids and to stimulate an interest of insect pathologists in this group of entomopathogenic fungi.
Observations on the Occurrence of Entomophthorales Infecting Aphids (Aphidoidea) in Slovakia
The species spectrum of entomophthoralean fungi parasiting aphids was investigated in Slovakia and Pandora neoaphidis (Remaudière et Hennebert) Humber was the predominant fungal pathogen and could effectively reduce aphid populations.
THE INFLUENCE OF ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT ON PATHOGENICITY OF ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGUS BEAUVERIA BASSIANA (BALSAMO) VUILLEMIN TO THE EUROPEAN CORN BORER, OSTRINIA NUBILALIS HBN. (LEPIDOPTERA: CRAMBIDAE)
