How Boveril works

The fungus acts on different stages of development of the hosts, such as larvae, pupae and adults. The infection usually occurs via tegument, where the fungus totally colonizes the insect after 72, leading to death. The attacked insects are covered in white mycelium that sporulate in conditions with a temperature of 23-30ºC and relative humidity of over 60%.
