Florida Entomologist 77 (3), 378-382
Abstract: We report for the first time natural and artificial epizootics of pest populations on Paraguay tea in Corrientes Province, Argentina. The natural epizootic was caused by Zoophthora radicans on Metaphalara spegazziniana and the artificial epizootic was caused by a nuclear polyhedrosis virus on Pengonia lusca ilus.
