“…Dead insects with external signs of mycosis were removed. Attempts to isolate the fungus in pure culture were made using Sabouraud dextrose agar plus 1% yeast extract (SDAY 1%), a suitable media for fast mycelia growth commonly used in the isolation and culture of several species of Entomophthorales (Choi et al, 2016;Feng, Johnson, & Kish, 1990;Moubasher, Abdel-Rahman, Abdel-Mallek, & Hammam, 2010;Zhou, Su, & Liu, 2016). Isolates were made through the "descending conidia" and "ascending conidia" methods described by Eilenberg, Wilding, and Bresciani (1992) and Jensen, Thomsen, and Eilenberg (2006), respectively.…”

The natural occurrence of entomophathogenic fungi infecting spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) considered serious pests to pasture grasses and crops in Argentina was investigated during summer˗autumn (December to May) from 2013 to 2016. Adults and nymphs of spittlebugs were collected from Sorghum halepense and Setaria parviflora var. parviflora in San Miguel de Tucumán, Tucumán province. The entomopathogenic fungal species were characterized on the basis of morphological keys and molecular techniques. Microscopic characters were described from material mounted in lactophenol/aceto-orcein (1% w/v), and the amplification of the fungal SSU rDNA was carried out using the universal primers nu-SSU-0021-5′ and nu-SSU-1780-3′. Summarized information about occurrence of fungal infections on spittlebugs populations is provided. This study reports for the first time the occurrence of the genus Pandora infecting adults of the economically important spittlebugs Deois (Deois) mourei, D. (D.) knoblauchii, Isozulia christenseni christenseni and Notozulia entreriana from Argentina expanding the host range and geographical distribution of entomophthoralean fungi.

“…The isolates examined in this study, their host taxon, plant host, collection site, date, and GenBank accession numbers are listed in Table 1. Zoophthora isolates were cultivated on Sabouraud dextrose agar plus 1% yeast extract (SDAY 1%), a suitable medium used for the isolation and culture of several species of Entomophthorales (Choi et al, 2016;Feng et al, 1990;Moubasher et al, 2010;Zhou et al, 2016). Pandora and Entomophthora specimens were identified directly from infected insect hosts.…”

We characterized 17 insect-pathogenic entomophthoralean fungal isolates (Entomophthoromycotina: Entomophthorales) using morphological and molecular techniques. We identified four species from various insect hosts: (i) Entomophthora planchoniana, six specimens from aphids; (ii) Pandora neoaphidis, three specimens from aphids; (iii) Zoophthora phalloides from an aphid; and (iv) Z. radicans, seven specimens from insects in the orders Diptera, Hemiptera, and Lepidoptera. Analysis of ITS1 data from E. planchoniana showed clustering in accordance to aphid host species. Entomophthora planchoniana from Macrosiphum euphorbiae clustered together, separate from the isolate from Myzus persicae. The P. neoaphidis specimens clustered with sequences from other aphid-pathogenic Pandora species in GenBank. In this study, Z. phalloides from Brevicoryne brassicae and Z. radicans from an unidentified species of Chironomidae (Diptera) in Argentina were characterized for the first time. The present study was initiated to elucidate the taxonomy of the entomophthoralean fungi in Argentina according to their morphological and molecular characters. The presented results emphasize the significance of the combination of molecular data and information on morphology, ecology, and host range for accurate identification of entomophthoralean and allied genera.
