Using Sticky Card Traps to Evaluate Entomopathogen Fungi Occurrence in Insect Populations: A Cautionary Tale
2021
Alves, Luis Francisco A. | Loeblein, Jaqueline S. | Fetter, Isabela | Patt, Joseph M.
This study confirmed that some glues used for trapping insects may inhibit mycosis; therefore, care should be taken to select “mycosis-friendly” glues when selecting sticky traps for monitoring entomopathogen infection levels in target pest populations. The results also showed that, rather than attempting to extract small, delicate insects from the glue for further incubation, the entire sticky trap simply can be incubated for the purpose of evaluating mycosis levels.
