Effect of gregarina granhami canning (apicomplexa: gregarinidae) on food consumption and ultrastructure of midgut cells of the desert locust schistocerca gregaria forskal (orthoptera: acrididae) [electronic resource]. - p.151-159.

Information about eugregarine infecting grasshoppers in Egypt is fragmentary and could be presented only by private communications between workers in Entomology in Egypt Yet Canning (1956) described Gregarina granhami from Schistocerca gregaria and Anacridium aegyptium collected from Egypt. S. gregaria represents a major pest in northern Africa and Middle East (Steedman, 1990). G. granhami is a pathogen of orthopterans that was developed as a microbial control agent for controlling grasshoppers (Henery, 1981). The present work aims to evaluate the pathogen as an alternative control agent against S. gregaria rather than conventional insecticides.
