Fungal Pathogens Infecting Soybean Aphid and Aphids on Other Crops Grown in Soybean Production Areas of Michigan [PDF]

, 2018
Seasonal prevalence of fungal pathogens infecting soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae), was assessed from 2004 to 2006 in two Michigan soybean production areas. In 2005 and 2006 field-collected soybean aphids were incubated, and

Entomopathogenic Fungi as Bioinsecticides

, 1992
As early as 900 A.D., it was known in the Orient that fungi could grow in insects (Steinhaus, 1975). The pioneering work of Bassi with Beauveria bassiana in silkworms in 1834 proved that fungi could actually cause infectious diseases in insects. From the 1880s through the early 1900s, the spectacular epizootics caused by entomopathogenic fungi—fungi ...

Potential of endophytic Beauveria bassiana against Coraebus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) oak borers

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3523-3531, April 2026.
This study demonstrates that an endophytic, oak‐associated strain of Beauveria bassiana exhibits adaptations to Quercus plants and potential against Coraebus boring beetles, supported by distinctive biological traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Oak borers in the genus Coraebus, including the bark‐ and the wood‐boring beetles C. florentinus and C. undatus, are

Four novel Pleurocordyceps (Polycephalomycetaceae) species from China

Frontiers in Microbiology
Entomopathogenic fungi comprise an ecologically important group of specialized pathogens infecting other fungi, invertebrates, and plants. These fungi are species-rich with high diversity and broad distribution worldwide. The majority of entomopathogenic

Towards a Novel Biocontrol Strategy: High Performance of Optimised Cell Wall‐Degrading Enzymes Secreted by Escovopsis primorosea LBM 277

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Escovopsis primorosea LBM 277 efficiently produced proteases, β‐1,3‐glucanases and chitinases under submerged fermentation using Leucoagaricus gongylophorus cell walls and Mandels complex. RSM‐BBD optimization significantly increased enzyme activity. The enzymatic cocktail remained stable for 30 days at room temperature and pH 4–6, aligning with the ...

Entomopathogenic fungi for mosquito control: A review [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2004
Fungal diseases in insects are common and widespread and can decimate their populations in spectacular epizootics. Virtually all insect orders are susceptible to fungal diseases, including Dipterans. Fungal pathogens such as Lagenidium, Coelomomyces and Culicinomyces are known to affect mosquito populations, and have been studied extensively. There are,

Understanding the Hygienic Behavioral Dynamics of Ants Using Multi‐State Models

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 361-370, April 2026.
Leaf‐cutting ants adjust grooming to pathogen risk and vulnerable nestmates. Multi‐state Markov models reveal shorter, frequent self‐grooming bouts and reduced allogrooming persistence under stress, optimizing social immunity via stigmergic decision‐making.
