Identification of Immunity-Related Genes in Dialeurodes citri against Entomopathogenic Fungus Lecanicillium attenuatum by RNA-Seq Analysis. [PDF]
Dialeurodes citri is a major pest in citrus producing areas, and large-scale outbreaks have occurred increasingly often in recent years. Lecanicillium attenuatum is an important entomopathogenic fungus that can parasitize and kill D. citri.

Differentiation of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium flavoviride (Hyphomycetes) [PDF]
The differentiation of a Brazilian isolate of Metarhizium flavoviride (CG 423), a promising candidate for the biocontrol of grasshoppers, was investigated. Conidia were spread onto solid medium (1% yeast extract, 2.8% agar, 96.2% distilled water), incubated at 28°C and observed during 26 h. Germination initiated as conidia size increased from 5.3 (±0.6)

Indirect interactions between a phytopathogenic and an entomopathogenic fungus
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.

First localities in Poland of the recently described fungus Cordyceps bifusispora
Two localities of the entomopathogenic fungus Cordyceps bifusispora, hitherto not reported from Poland, are characterised by their site conditions and co-occurring macrofungi during the period of the appearance of its stromata. Description of this fungus

Antibiofilm and cytotoxic metabolites from the entomopathogenic fungus Samsoniella aurantia. [PDF]
During the course of our studies on the secondary metabolism of rare, hitherto untapped Thai insect-associated fungi, the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extract derived from solid-state cultivation of Samsoniella aurantia on rice afforded one previously undescribed tetramic acid derivative, farinosone D (1), along with the known 2-pyridones, farinosones A (2 ...

Entomopathogenic fungi on Hemiberlesia pitysophila. [PDF]
Hemiberlesia pitysophila Takagi is an extremely harmful exotic insect in forest to Pinus species, including Pinus massoniana. Using both morphological taxonomy and molecular phylogenetics, we identified 15 strains of entomogenous fungi, which belong to 9
