per os . . . Any help is appreciated!
De insecten kunnen practisch geen bepaalde weerstand of immuniteit verkrijgen ten opzichte van de zwammen die hen doden door eenvoudig contact of contact gevolgd door het binnendringen van de hyphen in de algemene holte. Men moet echter anderzijds in bepaalde gevallen niet de infectie "per os" uitsluiten, vooral wanneer de zwam niet erg veelvuldig in de natuur voorkomt en het om enkele sporen gaat, die in he spijsverteringskanaal van het insect binnendringen.

via the oral route
'Per os'(literally 'by mouth')is put in quotes here, I think, to show that the writer is transposing a term normally used in human nedicine to another field. Personally, I would translate this as 'infection via the oral route', but it's probably OK too to leave the Latin expression in quotes...
