Data from: Data on morphological features of mycosis induced by Colletotrichum nymphaeae and Lecanicillium longisporum on citrus orthezia scale

Symptoms of mycosis induced by two native fungal entomopathogens of the citrus orthezia scale, Praelongorthezia praelonga (Hemiptera: Ortheziidae), an important pest of citrus orchards, are described. The data presented in this article are related to the article entitled "Seasonal prevalence of the insect pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum nymphaeae in Brazilian citrus groves under different chemical pesticide regimes". The endemic fungal pathogen, C. nymphaeae, emerges through the thin cuticular intersegmental regions of the citrus orthezia scale body revealing orange salmon-pigmented conidiophores bearing conidial masses, as well as producing rhizoid-like hyphae that extend over the citrus leaf. By contrast, nymphs or adult females of this scale insect infected with Lecanicillium longisporum exhibit profuse outgrowth of bright white-pigmented conidiophores with clusters of conidia emerging from the insect intersegmental membranes, and mycosed cadavers are commonly observed attached to the leaf surface by hyphal extensions. These morphological differences are important features to discriminate these fungal entomopathogens in citrus orthezia scales.

本数据集描述了由两种原生真菌昆虫病原体引起的柑橘或thezia scale（同翅目：Ortheziidae）的霉病症状。所述数据与题为《在不同化学农药管理措施下巴西柑橘园中昆虫病原真菌Colletotrichum nymphaeae的季节性流行率》的论文相关。本地区性真菌病原体C. nymphaeae通过柑橘或thezia scale体表的薄层节间区域出现，露出橙鲑鱼色色素的产孢梗，并产生类似根毛的菌丝延伸至柑橘叶片。相比之下，感染Lecanicillium longisporum的该尺度昆虫的若虫或成虫雌性表现出大量白色色素的产孢梗外突，并从昆虫节间膜中涌现出菌丝团簇，菌丝延伸附着在叶片表面形成的菌核尸体亦常可见。这些形态学差异是区分柑橘或thezia scale中真菌昆虫病原体的关键特征。
