The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana reduces instantaneous blood feeding in wild multi-insecticide-resistant Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in Benin, West Africa. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Mosquito-borne diseases are still a major health risk in many developing countries, and the emergence of multi-insecticide-resistant mosquitoes is threatening the future of vector control.

Molecular characterization and phylogeny of the entomopathogenic fungus [PDF]
We characterized 23 isolates of the entomopathogenic fungus Aschersonia spp. from Mexico, Brazil, Guyana, Trinidad, Venezuela, Columbia, Florida, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Philippines, Java and South India using RAPD markers. The data were used to compute the genetic variability and to reconstruct the phylogeny of the genus Aschersonia.

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

Pathogen-microbiome interactions and the virulence of an entomopathogenic fungus. [PDF]
A bstract Bacteria shape interactions between hosts and fungal pathogens. In some cases, bacteria associated with fungi are essential for pathogen virulence. In other systems, host associated microbiomes confer resistance against fungal pathogens.

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]
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

An extra-domiciliary method of delivering entomopathogenic fungus, Metharizium anisopliae IP 46 for controlling adult populations of the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis. [PDF]
: Fungal biopesticides have the potential to significantly reduce densities of malaria vectors as well as associated malaria transmission. In previous field trials, entomopathogenic fungus was delivered from within human dwellings, where its efficacy was

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

Infection of Malaria (Anopheles gambiae s.s.) and Filariasis (Culex quinquefasciatus)Vectors with the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium Anisopliae. [PDF]
Current intra-domiciliary vector control depends on the application of residual insecticides and/or repellents. Although biological control agents have been developed against aquatic mosquito stages, none are available for adults.

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