Prevalence of entomophthoralean fungi (Entomophthoromycota) of aphids in relation to developmental stages

摘要

BACKGROUNDTransmission of fungal pathogens of aphids may be affected by the host developmental stage. Brassica and Lactuca sativa L. crops were sampled in Santa Fe, Argentina, to determine the prevalence of fungal-diseased aphids and investigate the differences between developmental stages of aphids.
