Resumen:
Infectivity and effects on host of a long-term stored aqueous suspension of Paranosema locustae on juveniles of Dichroplus maculipennis, a pest grasshopper in parts of the Pampas and Patagonia, were evaluated. Infections developed in 90-97.8% of treated individuals. Mortality increased with time, reaching highest values at 30-40 days post inoculation (79.5-100%). Infected nymphs showed significantly slower development.
