Effect of photoperiod and host distribution on the horizontal transmission of Isaria fumosorosea (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) in greenhouse whitefly assessed using a novel model bioassay [PDF]
A model bioassay was used to evaluate the epizootic potential and determine the horizontal transmission efficiency of Isaria fumosorosea Trinidadian strains against Trialeurodes vaporariorum pharate adults under optimum conditions (25±0.5°C, ~100% RH ...

Protein kinases in the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae [PDF]
Summary: Cyclic AMP (cAMP)- and Ca2+-dependent protein kinase activities of the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae were sought in extracts of ungerminated conidia, germinating conidia and mycelium, as well as in purified plasma membranes from mycelium. Ungerminated conidia contained a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase capable of phosphorylating ...

Exploring Costa Rica's fungal trends: Insights from digitized specimens
Fungi are essential to tropical ecosystems but remain largely absent from conservation agendas. By analyzing over 78,000 fungal records from Costa Rica—a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot—this study reveals key patterns in fungal diversity, distribution, and seasonality.

Sanitizing the fortress: protection of ant brood and nest material by worker antibiotics [PDF]
Social groups are at particular risk for parasite infection, which is heightened in eusocial insects by the low genetic diversity of individuals within a colony. To combat this, adult ants have evolved a suite of defenses to protect each other, including

Bacillus thuringiensis and its pest control potential as endophyte
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) systemically colonizes tomato plants as endophyte, inducing midgut damage, fitness reduction and immune suppression in Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Bt‐colonized leaves. The immune suppression enhances the susceptibility to Bt treatments, allowing a synergistic dual use of Bt commercial formulations, by combined ...
