Enhancement of Spores´ Dissemination in the Combination of Entomopathogenic Nematodes and Fungus

Biological Control, 2022
AbstractEntomopathogenic nematodes and entomopathogenic fungi are soil organisms that cause epizootics in insect pests and are therefore important agents in pest management and biocontrol. Many studies focus on the effectiveness of either entomopathogenic nematodes or fungi for controlling pests, though it has been shown that a combination of the two ...

Investigation on the Influence of Production and Incubation Temperature on the Growth, Virulence, Germination, and Conidial Size of Metarhizium brunneum for Granule Development

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Important for the infection of an insect with an entomopathogenic fungus and its use as a plant protection agent are its growth, conidiation, germination, and virulence, which all depend on the environmental temperature.

Expression of mosquito miRNAs in entomopathogenic fungus induces pathogen-mediated host RNA interference and increases fungal efficacy.

Cell Reports, 2022
The growing threat of insecticide resistance prompts the urgent need to develop additional tools for mosquito control. Entomopathogenic fungi provide an eco-friendly alternative to chemical insecticides.

SterylAcetyl Hydrolase 1 (BbSay1) Links Lipid Homeostasis to Conidiogenesis and Virulence in the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Beauveria bassiana, as a well-studied entomopathogenic fungus, has a great potential for the biological control of insect pests. Lipid metabolism has been linked to the life cycle of B. bassiana; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. In this

The Polymycovirus-Mediated Growth Enhancement of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana Is Dependent on Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Polymycoviridae is a growing family of mycoviruses whose members typically have non-conventional capsids and multi-segmented, double-stranded (ds) RNA genomes. Beauveria bassiana polymycovirus (BbPmV) 1 is known to enhance the growth and virulence of its

Prevalence and Diversity of Viruses in the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2012
ABSTRACT Viruses have been discovered in numerous fungal species, but unlike most known animal or plant viruses, they are rarely associated with deleterious effects on their hosts. The knowledge about viruses among entomopathogenic fungi is very limited, although their existence is suspected because of the presence of virus-like ...

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.
