M.H.P. FUNGARO, M.L.C. VIEIRA, A.A. PIZZIRANI-KLEINER AND J.L. DE AZEVEDO. 1996. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used in order to analyse the relationships among 13 isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae. Six them were isolated from Deois flavopicta (Stal) (Hemiptera—Homoptera: Cercopidae) different regions Brazil. The other seven soil Paraná State Southern grouped by cluster analysis using Dice similarity index. results show that M. are extremely diverse (47% similarity) but those D. present only a moderate degree variation (82% when compared with wide diversity (31% found group soil. These suggest has developed host specificity.
