This fly is active on different host plants, such as mango, peach, fig, apple, pear, and citrus. The number of generations per year varies with local temperatures and host plant. The objective of this research was: to evaluate the pathogenicity of entomopatho...

We have analysed the mycobiota of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera, L.) leaves using several techniques. Profusely sporulating fungi (Penicillium spp. and Cladosporium spp.) developed when plating leaf fragments and leaf washings. Fusarium oxysporum, was particularly abundant in leaves infested with the red scale insect Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell, 1899, but an undescribed Lecanicillium cf....
