Abstract
The distribution of microsporidian infections of browntail moth (Euproctis chrysorrhoea L.) populations in Bulgaria was studied. Of the 72 browntail moth populations in the regions of Balkan, Sredna Gora, Sakar Mountains, and Rodope Mountains, 21 were infected by Microsporidia. The Microsporidia belong to two genera –Nosema (Dihaplophasea, Nosematidae) and Endoreticulatus (Haplophasea, Encephalitozoonidae). Microsporidial infections caused by a Nosema were found in 14 populations, by an Endoreticulatus in 8 populations, and mixed infections of Nosema and Endoreticulatus were recorded from 3 populations. Endoreticulatus was present in Balkan, Sredna Gora, and the Sakar Mountains. Nosema infections were found in Sakar Mountains and Rodope, and mixed infections were recorded only from the Sakar Mountain populations.
