Vairimorpha invictae Jouvenaz & Ellis (Micro sporidia: Burenellidae) is a microsporidian patho gen of Solenopsis fire ants in South America. Be cause Solenopsis invicta Buren fire ants infected with V. invictae were associated with higher mor tality, significantly slower colony growth, and re ductions in field populations in Argentina, there is considerable interest in utilizing this pathogen as a classical biological control agent against S. invicta in the U.S. (Briano & Williams 2002; Oi et al. 2005; Briano 2005). V. invictae was formally described by Jouvenaz & Ellis in 1986, however, it was most likely observed much earlier, being the undescribed, dimorphic microsporidium re ported from pathogen surveys conducted in Brazil in 1976 and 1979 (Jouvenaz et al., 1980; Briano & Williams 2002). Surveys for V. invictae in Ar gentina reported prevalence rates of 1, 2.3, and 10% after sampling 1836, 2528, and 2064 nests, respectively (Briano et al. 1995; 2006; Briano & Williams 2002). In the U.S., there have been surveys for vari ous fire ant pathogens since the 1970s. Limited surveys of red and black imported fire ants, S. in victa and Solenopsis richteri Forel, respectively, were conducted in northern Florida and in Mis
