摘要: The recovery of the host-specific entomopathogen Entomophaga maimaiga is still limited to certain world areas, although it recently spreading Eastern Europe. This study evaluated effectiveness and fitness an E. maimaiga isolate from Balkans against Lymantria dispar populations collected along Italian peninsula main islands, where fungus has never been reported. As a result different bioassays, pathogenicity gypsy moth larvae was generally confirmed, significant differences among insects feeding upon diverse forest plant species were observed. lack susceptibility other lepidopteran same areas also
