The Potential of Metarhizium anisopliae Blastospores to Control Aedes aegypti Larvae in the Field [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Entomopathogenic fungi are promising as an environmentally benign alternative to chemical pesticides for mosquito control. The current study investigated the virulence of Metarhizium anisopliae blastospores against Aedes aegypti under both laboratory and

Metarhizium anisopliae blastospores are highly virulent to adult Aedes aegypti, an important arbovirus vector [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background The use of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) for the control of adult mosquitoes is a promising alternative to synthetic insecticides. Previous studies have only evaluated conidiospores against adult mosquitoes.

Blastospores from Metarhizium anisopliae and Metarhizium rileyi Are Not Always as Virulent as Conidia Are towards Spodoptera frugiperda Caterpillars and Use Different Infection Mechanisms

Microorganisms, 2023
Infective conidia from entomopathogenic fungi are widely used to control insect pests. Many entomopathogenic fungi also produce yeast-like cells called blastospores under specific liquid culture conditions that can directly infect insects.

Aedes aegypti Pupae are Highly Susceptible to Infection by Metarhizium anisopliae Blastospores

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2019
The mosquito Aedes aegypti vectors arboviruses such as urban yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya and Zika. Reducing the vector population is still the most effective method to decrease the spread of arboviruses. Fungi are the main natural disease agents of

Production of mycelium and blastospores of [PDF]

, 2016
Hirsutella sp. was grown in four liquid media containing either casamino acids, corn steep liquor, collagen peptone or casein peptone. These media were inoculated with a 7 day-old culture of mycelia and blastospores of Hirsutella sp. and the cultures incubated with shaking at 250 rpm at 26°C.

DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF LIQUID MEDIA FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BLASTOSPORES OF Beauveria bassiana

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2021
Background. The nitrogen source in a liquid culture medium for the propagation of entomopathogenic fungi is considered an essential element in fermentation, however, it is one of the most expensive, which makes the search for alternative sources of this ...

Polyvinyl alcohol coating releasing fungal blastospores improves kill effect of attract-and-kill beads

AMB Express, 2023
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a biodegradable, water-soluble polymer with excellent film forming properties, commonly studied or used as tablet coating, food packaging or controlled release fertilizers. Attract-and-kill (AK) beads are sustainable, microbial
