Entomopathogenic fungi naturally associated with cowpea aphid, Aphis. craccivora were surveyed and identified. There were 18 fungal species infected cowpea aphid, on broad bean in winter and on cowpea in late spring and summer from December (2008) to December (2009). Five genera of entomopathogenic fungi were recorded for the first time associated with A. craccivora in Egypt. These genera were: Trichoderma longibrachiatum, Panadora neoaphidis, Batkoa major, Entomophthora planchoniana, and Coidiobolus obscurus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
