Abstract

Nature of infection, sites of localization and propagule production byCunninghamella echinulata (Matruchot) Thaxter,Metarrhizium anisopliae (Metchnikoff) Sorokin, andPenicillium Link ex. Gray, onElaphrothrips denticollis (Bagnall), a sporophagous tubuliferan, were studied using a scanning electron microscope.
