R. Wegensteiner et al., OBSERVATIONS ON THE OCCURRENCE OF PATHOGENS IN THE BARK BEETLE IPS-TYPOGRAPHUS L (COL, SCOLYTIDAE), Journal of applied entomology, 120(4), 1996, pp. 199-204
Pathogens occurring in adult Ips typographus from 15 distinct localiti

of pathogenic fungi and bacteria. An Entomopoxvirus, Chytridoipsis ty
pographi, Nosema typographi, Gregarina typographi and Malamoeba scolyt
i could be observed in varying frequency depending on locality and yea
r. The most dominant species was Ch. typographi, whereas N. typographi
and M. scolyti could be found only in some few specimens.
