Effect of conidial dispersal of the fungal pathogen Entomophaga maimaiga (Zygomycetes: Entomophthorales) on survival of its gypsy moth (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) host

2004-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Several researchers have developed a one-generational computer model that simulates infection prevalence of gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, caterpillars by its fungal pathogen, Entomophaga maimaiga. Inputs required are temperature, humidity, and rainfall records, a measure of fungus resting spore load in the soil, and an estimate of gypsy moth larval density. In a previous study, the model accurately tracked fungal-...
