Pathogen avoidance by insect predators [PDF]

, 2008
Insects can detect cues related to the risk of attack by their natural enemies. Pathogens are among the natural enemies of insects and entomopathogenic fungi attack a wide array of host species.

Biocontrol of invasive pheretimoid earthworms using Beauveria bassiana

PeerJ, 2021
Background Invasive species cause enormous costs of over $120 billion to the U.S. economy. Among biological invasions, the invasion by pheretimoid earthworms has gone relatively unnoticed and their invasion imposes yet unknown damage on USA agriculture and horticulture. The main dispersal is with horticultural goods such as plant material and composts.

Peptides Derived From Reactive Center Loops Inhibit Digestive Trypsin‐Like Enzymes in Lepidopteran Pests

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 121, Issue 1, January 2026.
Soybean yield is often reduced by pest attacks. Among these, Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) stands out as one of the most important defoliating pests of soybean. Therefore, the development of new bioinsecticides targeting Lepidopteran pests is an urgent need.

Isolation, morphological characterization, and screening virulence of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium robertsii fungal isolates in Galleria mellonella [version 4; peer review: 2 approved]

F1000Research
Background Entomopathogenic fungi exists naturally in plants as an asymptote and have the potential to reduce the population of insect pests through indirect interactions. This study was conducted to detect and characterize the endophytic fungi Beauveria

Entomopathogenic fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana reduce the survival of Xenopsylla brasiliensis larvae (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae). [PDF]

, 2012
Entomopathogenic fungi, particularly those belonging to the genera Metarhizium and Beauveria have shown great promise as arthropod vector control tools. These agents, however, have not been evaluated against flea vectors of plague.

4′-O-Methylglycosylation of Curcumin by Beauveria bassiana [PDF]

Natural Product Communications, 2010
The applications of curcumin have been limited by its poor water solubility and low bioavailability. In this study, we successfully synthesized a new curcumin derivative, curcumin-8′-O-4″-O-methyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, by biotransformation with the fungal strain Beauveria bassiana ATCC 7159. The structure of this new product was determined on the basis

Control of Woolly Apple Aphid (Eriosoma lanigerum) by Augmenting Earwigs (Forficula auricularia) in the Canopy of Apple Trees

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 1, Page 61-73, January 2026.
Apple trees provisioned with five earwigs and a refuge made a small but not significant contribution to woolly apple aphid control. ABSTRACT Woolly apple aphid, Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann), is a damaging pest of apple (Malus domestica F.) found in most regions of the world where apples grow.

Laboratory Study on Biological Control of Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) by Entomopathogenic Indigenous Fungi (Beauveria bassiana)

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2009
Background: Chemical control method using different acaricides as spray, dipping solution or pour-on is routinely used for controlling ticks. Biological control agents are favorable due to their safety for animals and environment.

Transcriptional Reprogramming of Arabidopsis thaliana Defence Pathways by the Entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana Correlates With Resistance Against a Fungal Pathogen but Not Against Insects

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana can adopt an endophytic lifestyle by colonising a wide array of plant species. Beauveria-colonised plants can show enhanced resistance against insects and plant pathogens alike.

Nutritional Status in Grapevine–Alfalfa Intercropping System on Agricultural and Heavy Metal‐Contaminated Soils

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Wild grapevine was cultivated either alone or in association with Medicago sativa–rhizobia symbiosis on two soil types: an agricultural soil and a contaminated one. In the present work, we observed that in the agricultural soil, grapevine intercropped with the alfalfa–rhizobium combination exhibited a significant increase in whole plant biomass ...
