This includes the use of parasitic and predatory arthropods, as well as micro-organisms and viruses. Project focus is on e.g. Biological control of African locusts; Isolation, identification and screening of entomopathogens fromProstephanus truncatus as well as Histo- and cytological investigations on endosymbionts of the larger grain borer. |
