Drosophila susceptibility to the microinjection of spores obtained from the different isolated fungi. Survival of Drosophila following microinjection of fungal spores (plain line with squares) is shown as percentage of flies alive plotted versus time in hours. In each experiment flies microinjected with the same number of B. bassiana spores were used as a reference (dotted line with triangles). In parallel flies microinjected with water are included as control (dashed line with circles). Seven fungi (A. ustus, A. sclerotium, A. nomius, Wallemia sp., A. ruber, A. alternata and P. commune) showed pathogenicity levels that were not statistically different compared to those triggered by B. bassiana (P > 0.05)
