Temperature requirements of four entomopathogenic fungi

Acta Mycologica, 2014
Infection potential of <i>Beauvaria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Paecilomyces farinosus</i> and <i>P. fumosoroseus</i> to <i>G. mellonella</i> larvae in pine litter was established. The growth of these fungi on the Czapek's Dox medium exposed to different temperature was determined.

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

Evaluation of synthetic repellents on mosquito nets in experimental huts against insecticide-resistant Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes.

, 2006
Owing to the development of pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles gambiae, there is a need to develop chemical alternatives for use on mosquito nets. Synthetic insect repellents are widely used for personal protection as skin or clothing applications.

Exploring Costa Rica's fungal trends: Insights from digitized specimens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1256-1274, July 2026.
Fungi are essential to tropical ecosystems but remain largely absent from conservation agendas. By analyzing over 78,000 fungal records from Costa Rica—a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot—this study reveals key patterns in fungal diversity, distribution, and seasonality.

Influence of plant resistance at the third trophic level: interactions between parasitoids and entomopathogenic fungi of cereal aphids [PDF]

, 1998
Host-plant resistance can affect herbivorous insects and their natural enemies such as parasitoids and entomopathogenic fungi. This tritrophic effect acts on interspecific interactions between the two groups of natural enemies distantly related in ...

How Do Group Size and Social Context Affect Per‐Capita Behavioral Responses in a Nasute Termite?

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 639-645, July 2026.
Group living is often assumed to increase individual behavioral activity in eusocial insects through social facilitation. Using controlled bioassays with the termite Nasutitermes corniger, we show that increasing group size instead reduces per‐capita behavioral frequency, consistent with greater behavioral specialization. While antennation and grooming

Immune Response and Gut Microbiota Shift in the Red Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) Infected With Entomopathogenic Fungus, Beauveria bassiana, Reveal Host‐Pathogen Interactions

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 2, June 2026.
This study reveals a “Microbiota‐Immune Axis” in Beauveria bassiana‐infected larvae, where gut dysbiosis positively correlates with systemic immunity in the fat body. Meanwhile, the hindgut exhibits immune tolerance, highlighting a tissue‐specific trade‐off between combating the pathogen and preserving the gut microbiome.

Multiple insecticide resistance mechanisms in Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus from Benin, West Africa.

, 2007
Because free-insecticide treated net distribution is planned in Benin (West Africa) during the next few years, we investigated the type, frequency and distribution of insecticide resistance mechanisms in Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus ...

A genome‐integrated CRISPR/Cas12a system enables efficient genetic engineering in Xenorhabdus budapestensis XBD8

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
We developed a genome‐integrated CRISPR/Cas12a system for Xenorhabdus budapestensis XBD8, which enables precise deletion or replacement of DNA fragments ranging from 379 to 45,168 bp, with a success rate exceeding 90%. Application of this tool for the dynamic regulation of fabclavine‐8 biosynthesis resulted in a 1.90‐fold increase in production ...

Impact of water relations on the production, ecological fitness and stability of the biocontrol fungus Metarhizium anisopliae [PDF]

, 2004
The aim of this work was the production of high numbers of propagules of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae with high germination capacity under low water availability, good storage stability and enhanced pathogenicity.
