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 ...

Establishment of the fungal entomopathogen beauveria bassiana as an endophyte in cocoa pods (Theobroma cacao L.)

Revista U.D.C.A Actualidad & Divulgación Científica, 2010
The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana was re-isolated from surface sterilized pieces of the cocoa pod outer section and peduncle, two and three months after flowers of greenhouse cocoa plants were hand-pollinated and sprayed with a 1x107 mL-1 ...

Assessing the Efficacy of Steinernema carpocapsae for Biological Control of Megaselia halterata on Mushroom Farms

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 11, Page 1401-1407, November 2026.
Steinernema carpocapsae applications averaged 40%–60% mortality of mushroom phorid larvae in laboratory experiments. Survival experiments showed that nematode populations drop 50% approximately 5 days post application in mushroom compost. ABSTRACT Mushroom phorid flies (Megaselia halterata; MPF) are a major pest of commercial mushroom production, where

Exploiting the behaviour of wild malaria vectors to achieve high infection with fungal biocontrol agents

Malaria Journal, 2012
Background Control of mosquitoes that transmit malaria has been the mainstay in the fight against the disease, but alternative methods are required in view of emerging insecticide resistance. Entomopathogenic fungi are candidate alternatives, but to date,

Toxicological and biochemical basis of synergism between the entomopathogenic fungus Lecanicillium muscarium and the insecticide matrine against Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius)

Scientific Reports, 2017
The sweetpotato whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) was challenged with different combinations of matrine (insecticide) and Lecanicillium muscarium (entomopathogenic fungus).

Physicochemical interactions and viability of Cordyceps fumosorosea associated with adjuvants

Bioscience Journal
Adding adjuvants to crop protection sprays is common practice; however interactions among formulations must be better understood to prevent reducing efficacy, especially for those containing microorganisms for biological control.
