Selection of Entomopathogenic Fungi for Aphid Control

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2007
Twelve strains of entomopathogenic fungi such as Lecanicillium lecanii, Paecilomyces farinosus, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Cordyceps scarabaeicola, and Nomuraea rileyi were screened for aphid control. At 25 degrees C and 75% relative humidity (RH), among tested entomopathogenic fungi, L.

Pathogenesis‐related genes of entomopathogenic fungi

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2020
AbstractAll living things on Earth experience various diseases such as those caused by viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Insects are no exception to this rule, and fungi that cause disease in insects are called entomopathogenic fungi. These fungi have been developed as microbial insecticides and are used to control various pests.

Evolution of entomopathogenicity in fungi

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2008
The recent completions of publications presenting the results of a comprehensive study on the fungal phylogeny and a new classification reflecting that phylogeny form a new basis to examine questions about the origins and evolutionary implications of such major habits among fungi as the use of living arthropods or other invertebrates as the main source

Entomopathogen ID: a curated sequence resource for entomopathogenic fungi

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2017
We report the development of a publicly accessible, curated nucleotide sequence database of hypocrealean entomopathogenic fungi. The goal is to provide a platform for users to easily access sequence data from taxonomic reference strains. The database can be used to accurately identify unknown entomopathogenic fungi based on sequence data for a variety ...

Advances in Genomics of Entomopathogenic Fungi

2016
Fungi are the commonest pathogens of insects and crucial regulators of insect populations. The rapid advance of genome technologies has revolutionized our understanding of entomopathogenic fungi with multiple Metarhizium spp. sequenced, as well as Beauveria bassiana, Cordyceps militaris, and Ophiocordyceps sinensis among others.

Insect Immunity to Entomopathogenic Fungi

2016
The study of infection and immunity in insects has achieved considerable prominence with the appreciation that their host defense mechanisms share many fundamental characteristics with the innate immune system of vertebrates. Studies on the highly tractable model organism Drosophila in particular have led to a detailed understanding of conserved innate

Entomopathogenic Fungi: Fungi Imperfecti

1998
The phylum Deuteromycota (Fungi Imperfecti, Table 8-1) includes a group of miscellaneous fungi that are classified according to characteristics of an asexual (anamorphic) rather than a sexual (teleomorphic) state. As mentioned previously (Table 8-3), some Deuteromycetes are anamorphs of Ascomycetes or Basidiomycetes, all of which are classed as the ...

Genetically Engineering Entomopathogenic Fungi

2016
Entomopathogenic fungi have been developed as environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical insecticides in biocontrol programs for agricultural pests and vectors of disease. However, mycoinsecticides currently have a small market share due to low virulence and inconsistencies in their performance.

Susceptibility of Brevipalpus phoenicis to entomopathogenic fungi

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2006
The pathogenicity of 52 isolates from several fungus species was studied for the false spider mite Brevipalpus phoenicis. In addition, the main stages during the course of infection by Hirsutella thompsonii, by far the most virulent pathogen, were studied by means of light and electron microscopy.

Taxonomy of entomopathogenic fungi

1988
Cooke (1892) listed four groups of fungi parasitic upon insects: Cordyceps and allied ‘Isaria’ conidial states (anamorphs); Entomophthorales; Laboulbeniales; and opportunistic fungi, such as species of Cladosporium and Penicillium. As previously mentioned, we exclude the Laboulbeniales, since they are not implicated in host mortality, although it is ...
