SCORSETTI, Ana C. e LOPEZ LASTRA, C. C.. First record of Neozygites sp. (Zygomycota: Entomophthorales), pathogen of Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) in Argentina. Bol. Soc. Argent. Bot. [online]. 2007, vol.42, n.3-4, pp.189-193. ISSN 1851-2372.
In this paper, the presence of the fungi Neozygites cf. floridana (Zygomycota: Zygomycetes: Entomophthorales), as pathogen of the mite Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae), is recorded for first time in Argentina. Samplings were carried out in La Plata , on tomato, pepper, egg-plant, and other horticultural crops. Microscopic slides and mites infected were placed in the Herbarium of the Institute of Botany C. Spegazzini and in the Herbarium of CEPAVE. This work contributes to further expand the distribution and the host range of Neozygites as well as the information of entomopathogenic fungi in Argentina.
