AbstractBioassays and direct counts were used to assess the abundance of resting spores of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.), fungal pathogen, Entomophaga maimaiga Humber, Shimazu and Soper in forest soils. Resting spores in soil collected in October, January, and March and held under refrigeration germinated as readily as spores collected in April, but those collected in April germinated faster. Bioassays of resting spores in soils from different sites in Connecticut were directly related to results obtained from physically counting spores in the soil, and weakly correlated with a previously developed forest-based bioassay. The number of resting spores in a site was inversely related to the number of years since the site had last been defoliated by the gypsy moth, resulting in an implied maximum viability of resting spores of about 10 years. This maximum longevity was similar to a direct measure of long-term resting-spore viability. The study implies that resting-spore load in the soil may be an important determinant of the ability of the pathogen to control the gypsy moth.
