| occurrence and prevalence of insect pathogens in populations of the codling moth, cydia pomonella l.: a long-term diagnostic survey. | about 20,550 larvae, pupae and adults of the codling moth, cydia pomonella l., were diagnosed for pathogens during long-term investigations (1955-2012) at the institute for biological control in darmstadt, germany. the prevailing entomopathogens diagnosed in these studies were insect pathogenic fungi, especially beauveria bassiana and isaria farinosa, the microsporidium, nosema carpocapsae, the cydia pomonella granulovirus (cpgv), as well as mostly undetermined bacteria. while the cpgv was obser ... | 2013 | 26462428 |
| impact of a north american isolate of the microsporidium nosema carpocapsae on a laboratory population of the codling moth, cydia pomonella. | nosema carpocapsae is a microsporidian pathogen of the codling moth, cydia pomonella. we report the occurrence of this pathogen in a colony originating from collections made in the united states. this is the first record of n. carpocapsae infecting north american codling moths. this north american isolate of n. carpocapsae was indistinguishable from isolates received from new zealand and bulgaria, based on small subunit ribosomal rna sequencing, but was more virulent than the previously describe ... | 2001 | 12009806 |
