- Abstract
We report the natural occurrence of M. rileyi in larval A. gemmatalis and T. ni in soybean producing regions of Altamira, Tamaulipas, and Pánuco, Veracruz, Mexico, during Aug through Dec 2017. A total of 380 M. rileyi-infected A. gemmatalis larvae were collected from Altamira and Pánuco. In each municipality, only 1 larval T. ni was found infected with the fungus. In Oct, the greatest number of A. gemmatalis larvae infected by M. rileyi was recorded from both municipalities.
