ENTOPARASITES ENCOUNTERED IN SOME FRUIT TREES (REGION OF SOUTH ALBANIA)

The following work deals with the problems of infections of a variety of fruit trees plants met in the Southern Region of Albania. In the analysis one of the most specific groups of plant-entomologists has been obtained, that of the U / Order Coccidia Class Insecta. These insects represent a specific set of pests that feed on plant lymphoma through a highly developed oral drip type suppressor. In this way they not only mechanically damage the plant but also convey it to many viral illnesses in the lymph, leading it to complete degradation. They are so closely related to the plant that, most of them, even wintering (one of the most delicate periods for plant survival itself) passes like parasites on them. Through this work, it is shown which of these entomophytes have met in this plant group in the region concerned? Which of the plant species analyzed is found most frequented by this group of pests and what is the spread of this contamination in both variety and percentage; also by analyzing the distribution of plant species encountered, at different altitudes over sea level? The paper contains, figuratively, a series of morpho-determining features of the representatives cited in this paper.

Given that this plant group is one of the main sources of vitamins for vegetarian foods for mankind, this work itself takes on importance and practical value.
