| Abstract: | A microsporidium Nosema sp. was isolated from the grasshopper Chorthippus brunneus (Thunberg) collected in Spain. Infected individuals were found throughout most of the season when nymphs and adults of C. brunneus were present (March-June). Other acridoids collected in the same area were not found to be infected, indicating that this microsporidium is probably host specific. Attempts to artificially infect Dociostarus maroccanus (Thunberg) nymphs failed. |
