SHORT REPORT

Received 25 September 2004/ Accepted 14 January 2005

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.
