Infectivity, viability and effects of Paranosema locustae (Microsporidia) on juveniles of Dichroplus maculipennis (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Melanoplinae) under laboratory conditions
Infectivity and effects on host of a long-term stored aqueous suspension of Paranosema locustae on juveniles of Dichroplus maculipennis, a pest grasshopper in parts of the Pampas and Patagonia, were evaluated. Infections developed in 90– 97.8% of treated individuals. Mortality increased with time, r...

| Sumario: | Infectivity and effects on host of a long-term stored aqueous suspension of Paranosema locustae on juveniles of Dichroplus maculipennis, a pest grasshopper in parts of the Pampas and Patagonia, were evaluated. Infections developed in 90– 97.8% of treated individuals. Mortality increased with time, reaching highest values at 30–40 days post-inoculation (79.5–100%). Infected nymphs showed significantly slower development. |
