Threat of Infection and Threat-Avoidance Behavior in the Predator Dicyphus hesperus Feeding on Whitefly Nymphs Infected with an Entomopathogen

2010-03-01

Abstract excerpt

The nature and severity of intraguild interactions between predators and entomopathogens will be determined, in part, by a combination of threat of infection, and avoidance of that threat by the predator. We determined the threat of infection posed by the entomopathogen, Paecilomyces fumosoroseus (as PFR-97™) to the generalist predator, Dicyphus hesperus. We then asked if D. hesperus displays behavioral avoidance...
