Fungal infection affects sexual signalling and mate choice in the sugarcane borer

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Fungus‐infected Diatraea saccharalis females exhibit enhanced attractiveness to males in wind tunnel assays. Fungal infection alters the pheromone profile of females, increasing the relative abundance of Z9‐16: Ald, a minor but behaviourally active component of the species' sex pheromone blend.

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Bacteriomes, cryptic forms and evolution of a common wireworm pest species, Hypnoidus bicolor

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Wireworms are important agricultural pests, including Hypnoidus bicolor in the Canadian Prairies. Parthenogenetic and sexual populations of H. bicolor appear associated with different molecular clades. Bacterial community composition and structure were influenced by developmental stage, sampling location and host genetics.

Neutrosophic Analysis in the Evaluation of the Use of Beauveria Bassiana against the Potato Grub [PDF]

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
Beauveria bassiana is an entomopathogenic fungus that has been shown to have the potential to control the potato white grub (Premnotrypes vorax), a pest that significantly affects potato production, especially in Ecuador. Therefore, the present study has

Diversity of the Microbiomes in the Larval and Adult Stages of the European Cherry Fruit Fly (Rhagoletis cerasi) and Identification of Potential Biocontrol Candidate Taxa

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 999-1010, September 2026.
First comprehensive characterization of the R. cerasi microbiome is reported. Stage‐specific variations in microbial composition are documented. Multiple bacterial entomopathogen taxa are identified as potential biocontrol candidates for R. cerasi.

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1102-1114, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...

Field Efficacy of Metarhizium robertsii (LCM S15) for Controlling Free-Living Stages of Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Goats

Pathogens
The rise in anthelmintic resistance in small ruminants has driven the search for sustainable control alternatives. Among these, entomopathogenic fungi such as Metarhizium robertsii stand out for their potential to reduce the free-living stages of ...
