Resumen:
Abstract: Four species of entomophthoroid fungi, Pandora neoaphidis (Entomophthorales:Entomophthoraceae), Zoophthora radicans (Entomophthorales: Entomophthoraceae),Entomophthora planchoniana (Entomophthorales: Entomophthoraceae) and Neozygites fresenii (Neozygitales: Neozygitaceae) were found to infect Aphis craccivora, Therioaphis trifollii, and Acyrtosiphon pisum whereas unidentified species of Acyrtosiphon were found on lucerne in Argentina. Samples were collected from fi ve sites (Ceres, Rafaela,Sarmiento, Monte Vera and Bernardo de Irigoyen) in the province of Santa Fe. In this study, Zoophthora radicans was the most important pathogen recorded on Acyrtosiphon sp., which was successfully isolated and maintained in pure cultures. This study is the first report of entomophthoroid fungi infecting lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) aphids in Argentina.
