The methodological guide includes the biology, ecology and distribution of 98 leaf- and planthopper species from 60 genera and 10 families. The biological cycle of these species are related to various tree species, fruiting and forest shrubs, vine plantations. Cicadas belong to Class Insecta, order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha. The material presented in this work is based on the author own research accumulated during the study and selected from literature. Most leaf- and planthopper species populate the entire surface of the Earth covered with vegetation, from the subarctic to the...

In the monograph "Entomopathogenic bacteria" authors Anna Moldovan, Natalia Munteanu-Molotievskiy, and Ion Toderas discuss the premises of the use of bacterial agents in the biological control of pest insects, with an emphasis on studied pest species. A separate chapter is dedicated to the basic methods of isolation, identification, and characterization of entomopathogenic bacteria. Also are presented the results on the development of bacterial agents for biological control of pests based on new strains isolated from the natural environment. As a result of the research, it was demonstrated...
