Epizootiological modeling of Pandora neoaphidis mycosis transmission in Myzus persicae colonies initiated by primarily infected alates.
Pandora neoaphidis transmission was monitored within progeny colonies initiated by infected Myzus periscae alates individually flown for 1 to 5 h. Mycosis progress in the colonies was well fitted (r2= 0.97) to a modified logistic or Gompertz model that included their flight distance, postflight survival time, premycosis fecundity, and primary infection rate as influential variables.
