Diversity, prevalence and virulence of fungal entomopathogens in colonies of the ant Formica selysi [PDF]
, 2018 The richness of the parasitic community associated with social insect colonies has rarely been investigated. Moreover, understanding how hosts and pathogens interact in nature is important to interpret results from laboratory experiments.

Grooming Behavior as a Mechanism of Insect Disease Defense
Insects, 2013 Grooming is a well-recognized, multipurpose, behavior in arthropods and vertebrates. In this paper, we review the literature to highlight the physical function, neurophysiological mechanisms, and role that grooming plays in insect defense against ...

Entomopathogenic fungal endophytes
Biological Control, 2008 Fungal endophytes are quite common in nature and some of them have been shown to have adverse effects against insects, nematodes, and plant pathogens. Our research program is aimed at using fungal endophytes-mediated plant defense as a novel biological control mechanism against the coffee berry borer, the most devastating pest of coffee throughout the ...
