Transmission of the mycopathogen, Hirsutella spp., to nymphs and adults of the glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis (=coagulata), in the greenhouse
Florida Entomologist 94 (1), 106-108
Abstract: For the first time, transmission of Hirsutella from mycosed, sporulating H. vitripennis to healthy conspecifics was demonstrated. In addition, methods were established to amplify infectious material in vivo for potential inoculative release.
