Prophylactic Avoidance of Hazardous Prey by the Ant Host Myrmica rubra

Insects, 2020
Ants are the hosts of many microorganisms, including pathogens that are incidentally brought inside the nest by foragers. This is particularly true for scavenging species, which collect hazardous food such as dead insects.

Entomopathogenic fungus treatment changes the gut bacterial diversity of Rhipicephalus microplus ticks

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Ticks are obligate bloodsucking parasites responsible for significant economic losses and concerns with human and animal health, mainly due to the transmission of pathogens.

Influence of the plant interacting entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana on parasitoid host choice-behavior, development, and plant defense pathways.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Inoculating plants with entomopathogenic fungi may influence plant nutrient uptake and growth, and herbivore performance. Knowledge is limited concerning the effects of this symbiosis on higher trophic levels.

Storability of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium anisopliae

International Journal of Plant & Soil Science, 2023
The present investigation on storability of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae was carried out at Biocontrol Laboratory, Agricultural Entomology Section, College of Agriculture, Dhule during Jan 2018 to Dec 2018. The pure culture of the entomopathogenic fungus M.

Genetics and immunity of Anopheles response to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae overlap with immunity to Plasmodium

Scientific Reports, 2022
Entomopathogenic fungi have been explored as a potential biopesticide to counteract the insecticide resistance issue in mosquitoes. However, little is known about the possibility that genetic resistance to fungal biopesticides could evolve in mosquito ...

Complete mitogenome of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium rileyi [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2020
In this study, the complete mitogenome of an entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium rileyi was assembled and annotated. This circular mitogenome was 62,514 bp in length and consisted of 2 rRNA genes, 25 tRNA genes, 14 standard protein-coding genes of the oxidative phosphorylation system, and seven intergenic ORFs. Seven genes were invaded by a total of 22

First Record ofFusarium verticillioidesas an Entomopathogenic Fungus of Grasshoppers [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2011
Fusarium verticillioides (Saccardo) Nirenberg (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) is the most common fungus reported on infected corn kernels and vegetative tissues, but has not yet been documented as being entomopathogenic for grasshoppers. Grasshoppers and locusts represent a large group of insects that cause economic damage to forage and crops.

In Planta Localization of Endophytic Cordyceps fumosorosea in Carrizo Citrus

Microorganisms, 2021
Entomopathogenic fungi can be a useful resource for controlling insect vectors of citrus plant pathogens, such as the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri) associated with huanglongbing or the citrus root weevil (Diaprepes abbreviatus) associated with ...

Identification of Drosophila Mutants Affecting Defense to an Entomopathogenic Fungus [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
AbstractFungi cause the majority of insect disease. However, to date attempts to model host–fungal interactions with Drosophila have focused on opportunistic human pathogens. Here, we performed a screen of 2,613 mutant Drosophila lines to identify host genes affecting susceptibility to the natural insect pathogen Metarhizium anisopliae (Ma549). Overall,

Indirect interactions between a phytopathogenic and an entomopathogenic fungus

Naturwissenschaften, 2003
Slow growth in herbivores may lead to higher mortality, due to prolonged exposure to natural enemies. A number of studies has tested the 'slow-growth, high-mortality' hypothesis using predators or parasitoids as natural enemies of the herbivore, but the possible role of pathogens is poorly documented.
