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

Foraging Macrotermes natalensis fungus-growing termites avoid a mycopathogen but not an entomopathogen [PDF]

, 2019
Fungus-growing termites have to defend both themselves and their monoculture fungal cultivars from antagonistic microbes. One of the ways that pathogens can enter the termite colony is on the plant substrate that is collected by termite foragers.

In search of ecological determinants of fungal infections: A semi‐field experiment with folivorous moths

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Natural enemies shape the fate of species at both ecological and evolutionary time scales. While the effects of predators, parasitoids, and viruses on insects are well documented, much less is known about the ecological and evolutionary role of ...

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 ...

Identification and Phylogenetic Analysis of Entomopathogenic Fungal Isolates Using Molecular Approach

Elkawnie: Journal of Islamic Science and Technology, 2020
: Entomopathogenic fungi are essential to consider as one of the biological agents to control termite populations. This research aimed to molecularly identify entomopathogenic fungi isolates in termites based on the ITS rDNA region and to determine the ...

Comparative Efficacy of a Fungal Entomopathogen with a Broad Host Range against Two Human-Associated Pests

, 2022
The ability of a fungal entomopathogen to infect an insect depends on a variety of factors, including strain, host, and environmental conditions. Similarly, an insect’s ability to prevent fungal infection is dependent on its biology, environment ...

The Fungus Beauveria bassiana Alters Amounts of Sterols, Fatty Acids, and Hydroxycinnamic Acids in Potato Solanum tuberosum

Plants, 2023
The entomopathogenic endophytic fungus Beauveria bassiana can colonize plants resulting in growth promotion and protection against phytopathogenic microorganisms. However, physiological changes in potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) during this interaction

Dispersal of the entomopathogen Hirsutella cryptosclerotium by simulated rain

, 1993
When simulated rain fell 11 m down a rain tower onto sporulating cultures or spore suspensions of Hirsutella cryptosclerotium, a pathogen of the mealybug Rastrococcus invadens, large numbers of spores and mycelial fragments were dispersed in splash ...

First Test of a Potential Biological Control Agent of Argentine ants (Linepithema humile)

Insects
The Argentine ant (Linepithema humile), listed among the world’s 100 worst invasive alien species, is notoriously difficult to control due mainly to its formation of large, expansive supercolonies.

Pheromone traps for the dissemination of an entomopathogen by the damson-hop aphid Phorodon humuli

, 2001
Two types of sex pheromone-emitting trap, a simple louvred trap and a commercially-produced wasp trap (Waspy®) designed or modified as delivery systems for entomopathogens, were tested using an isolate of the pathogen Verticillium lecanii .
