“…With regards to its insect hosts, P. neoaphidis is a common aphid pathogen with a cosmopolitan distribution. In Argentina, it was previously recorded in 17 aphid species López Lastra et al, 2019;Manfrino, Hatting, et al, 2014;Manfrino et al, 2013;Scorsetti et al, 2006) and was reported by Scorsetti et al (2006) as the most predominant pathogen of aphids in Argentina.…”

We characterized 17 insect-pathogenic entomophthoralean fungal isolates (Entomophthoromycotina: Entomophthorales) using morphological and molecular techniques. We identified four species from various insect hosts: (i) Entomophthora planchoniana, six specimens from aphids; (ii) Pandora neoaphidis, three specimens from aphids; (iii) Zoophthora phalloides from an aphid; and (iv) Z. radicans, seven specimens from insects in the orders Diptera, Hemiptera, and Lepidoptera. Analysis of ITS1 data from E. planchoniana showed clustering in accordance to aphid host species. Entomophthora planchoniana from Macrosiphum euphorbiae clustered together, separate from the isolate from Myzus persicae. The P. neoaphidis specimens clustered with sequences from other aphid-pathogenic Pandora species in GenBank. In this study, Z. phalloides from Brevicoryne brassicae and Z. radicans from an unidentified species of Chironomidae (Diptera) in Argentina were characterized for the first time. The present study was initiated to elucidate the taxonomy of the entomophthoralean fungi in Argentina according to their morphological and molecular characters. The presented results emphasize the significance of the combination of molecular data and information on morphology, ecology, and host range for accurate identification of entomophthoralean and allied genera.

Thirty-three species of aphids are now established in New Caledonia. All species appear to have been introduced accidentally by human activity in the last century. Here, 17 aphid species are recorded for the first time: Aphis eugeniae, Aphis glycines, Aphis odinae, Aulacorthum solani, Brachycaudus helichrysi, Cerataphis orchidearum, Greenidea psidii, Hyperomyzus carduellinus, Hysteroneura setariae, Lipaphis pseudobrassicae, Micromyzus katoi, Myzus ornatus, Pentalonia caladii, Rhopalosiphum nymphaeae, Rhopalosiphum rufiabdominale, Schizaphis rotundiventris, and Tetraneura fusiformis. Thirteen more species are also more or less regularly intercepted at the borders through biosecurity surveys, without further establishment. This demonstrates that aphids represent a major biosecurity threat, including a threat as potential plant virus vectors. The reinforcement of biosecurity is a priority for such biodiversity hotspots, from the perspectives of both agriculture and the native environment. Prioritisation and promotion of local development of vegetable and fruit production, rather than their risky importation from abroad, is desirable. Such an approach also should be promoted and extended to other Pacific islands, which all share the lack of native aphid fauna and their associated plant disease vector risks.

“…Batko Entomophthoralean fungi infecting insects have been studied and reported from all over the world (Eilenberg et al 1987, Keller 1987, Feng et al 1990, Eilenberg et al 1992, Bałazy 1993, Santamaría and Girbal 1996, Hatting et al 1999, Nielsen et al 2001, Pell et al 2001, Steinkraus and Boys 2005, Jensen et al 2009, Hajek et al 2012, Humber 2012, while this fungal group was poorly studied in South America (Aruta et al 1974, 1984, Delalibera et al 1992, Alzugaray et al 1999. The first Argentinean reference was published by Fresa (1979) but in the last decade, the number of publications about this fungal group has increased (Méndez-Sánchez et al 2001, 2002a, b, 2009, Delalibera et al 2004, Toledo et al 2007, 2008a, b, Jensen et al 2009, Alzugaray et al 2010, Scorsetti et al 2010, 2012, Sosa Gómez et al 2010, Manfrino et al 2013, 2014a, b, c, Montalva et al 2016a.

The objective of this work is to further update the records of Argentinean Entomophthoralean fungal species and their geographical distribution. Our survey includes five new records of Zoophthora radicans infecting insect hosts belonging to the orders Diptera, Hemiptera, and Lepidoptera from Pampasic and Littoral regions of Argentina. These new records not only increase the host range of Entomophthoralean fungi but also their geographical distribution around the world.
