Characterization, identification and virulence of Metarhizium species from Cuba to control the sweet potato weevil, Cylas formicarius Fabricius (Coleoptera: Brentidae)

Journal of Applied Microbiology, Volume 132, Issue 5, Page 3705-3716, May 2022., 2022
Abstract Aims Entomopathogenic Metarhizium fungi are widely recognized for their biological control potential. In Cuba, several fungus‐based bio‐insecticides have been developed and are produced as part of integrated pest management (IPM) programmes for economically relevant agricultural pests.

Pest categorisation of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract The EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (Foc TR4), an ascomycete fungus causing Fusarium wilt (Panama disease) on Musa spp. Foc TR4 is pathogenic to the commercial banana varieties including those of the ‘Cavendish’ group and is considered as the most destructive among ...

Scientific opinion on the import of Musa fruits as a pathway for the entry of non‐EU Tephritidae into the EU territory

EFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health examined evidence as to whether the import of fruits of Musa (bananas and plantains) could provide a pathway into the EU for Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) or other non‐EU Tephritidae for which Musa is a host. Relevant scientific and technical

THE ELUSIVE BANANA WEEVIL COSMOPOLITES SORDIDUS GERMAR

Acta Horticulturae, 2000
The banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus Germar, has evaded all efforts to manage it in all banana-based cropping systems except the commercial plantation banana system, where the 2 to 3 year crop cycle and the intensity of management limit the pest survival in that system.

Ecological aspects of a Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) population in São Miguel do Iguaçu, PR./
Aspectos ecológicos da população de Cosmopolites sordidus, (Germar) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) em São Miguel do Iguaçu, PR

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2006
The population dynamics of Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) was studied in banana crops (cultivar Nanicão) at São Miguel do Iguaçu, PR, using roof-tile-like baits, between June/2003 and May/2004. Adults infected by entomopathogenic fungi were recorded, and

First natural occurrence of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Bals. Criv.) Vuill. on Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar, 1824) (Curculionidae, Coleoptera) in an agroforestry system in the Brazilian Cerrado [PDF]

Check List
The natural occurrence of the fungus Beauveria bassiana is an indicator of environmental balance. When the agroforestry system naturally presents this entomopathogenic fungus on the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus, a pest insect in the banana crops ...

1,8-Cineole: An attractant for the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus

Phytochemistry, 1996
1,8-Cineole was identified as one of the electrophysiologically active components of the volatiles from banana cultivars susceptible to the banana weevil. It was also shown to be an attractant for the banana weevil Comopolites sordidus in laboratory behavioural bioassays. The resistant cultivar did not contain 1,8-cineole.

Deleterious effects of plant cystatins against the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus [PDF]

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2009
AbstractThe general potential of plant cystatins for the development of insect‐resistant transgenic plants still remains to be established given the natural ability of several insects to compensate for the loss of digestive cysteine protease activities.
