Abstract

Forty-five entomopathogenic fungal species and 215 host-pathogen combinations have been observed in Israel during the last two decades.Pathogen-host combinations are given in a list, followed by seasonal occurrence, geographic distribution and host-plant data.Host-pathogen combinations are given in a separate list, followed by the most relevant literature citations. Both lists are indexed. Recent changes in systematics and nomenclature, and seasonal and host preferences are discussed for selected species or groups.
