Behavioural changes in Schistocerca gregaria following infection with a fungal pathogen: implications for susceptibility to predation

2001-06-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Field observations have indicated that infection of locusts and grasshoppers by the fungal entomopathogen Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum may result in a substantial increase in the host's susceptibility to predation, before death is caused directly by the disease. 2. Laboratory experiments were conducted to examine how the behaviour of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria Forskal changes following infec...
