Pathogenicity of Evlachovaea sp (Hyphomycetes), a new species isolated from Triatoma sordida, in Chagas' disease vectors Patogenicidade de Evlachovaea sp (Hyphomycetes), uma nova espécie isolada de Triatoma sordida, para vetores da doença de Chagas

Evlachovaea sp was tested on nymphs of 5 Triatoma spp 5 Rhodnius spp, Panstrongylus herreri and Dipetalogaster maximus at 25°C, 75% humidity and humidity >98%. Most species showed susceptibility to fungal infection at high humidity. Mortality was reduced at 75% humidity. Fungal development was ob...

Description
Summary:Evlachovaea sp was tested on nymphs of 5 Triatoma spp 5 Rhodnius spp, Panstrongylus herreri and Dipetalogaster maximus at 25°C, 75% humidity and humidity >98%. Most species showed susceptibility to fungal infection at high humidity. Mortality was reduced at 75% humidity. Fungal development was observed on 69.5% of cadavers. Evlachovaea sp foi testada em ninfas de 5 Triatoma spp, 5 Rhodnius spp, Panstrongylus herreri e Dipetalogaster maximus a 25°C, 75% umidade e umidade >98%. A maioria das espécies foi suscetível à infecção em umidade alta. Mortalidade foi reduzida a 75% de umidade. O fungo desenvolveu em 69.5% dos cadáveres.
