Enzymatic activity and virulence of Cordyceps locustiphila (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) on the South American locust Schistocerca cancellata (Orthoptera: Acrididae)

Enzymatic activity and virulence of Cordyceps locustiphila (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) on the South American locust Schistocerca cancellata (Orthoptera: Acrididae)

The first barrier, when penetrating an insect host, encountered by microorganisms like fungi is insects cuticle; fungi produce a wide variety of extracellular enzymes involved in the degradation of protein, chitin, and lipids.
