Pathogenicity of Beauveria bassiana to fall webworm (Hyphan­tria cunea) (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) on different host plants

Plant Protection Science, 2013
A study on the compatibility of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana with two medicinal plants, Artemisia annua (0.5%) and Lavandula stoechas (0.6%), was conducted against fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea, in the presence of three host plants ...

Pathogen-microbiome interactions and the virulence of an entomopathogenic fungus. [PDF]

Appl Environ Microbiol, 2023
AbstractBacteria 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. We studied an aphid-specific entomopathogenic fungus calledPandora neoaphidisin the context of both host and

Glucosinolate hydrolysis products suppress entomopathogenic nematodes in vitro but do not protect sequestering flea beetle larvae in vivo

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3603-3612, April 2026.
The flea beetle's glucosinolate‐based chemical defense fails to protect larvae from nematode infection. However, the defense inhibits the nematode's symbiotic bacteria, thereby potentially impairing nematode reproduction and biocontrol success. Abstract BACKGROUND The efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the biological control of insect ...

Towards a Novel Biocontrol Strategy: High Performance of Optimised Cell Wall‐Degrading Enzymes Secreted by Escovopsis primorosea LBM 277

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Escovopsis primorosea LBM 277 efficiently produced proteases, β‐1,3‐glucanases and chitinases under submerged fermentation using Leucoagaricus gongylophorus cell walls and Mandels complex. RSM‐BBD optimization significantly increased enzyme activity. The enzymatic cocktail remained stable for 30 days at room temperature and pH 4–6, aligning with the ...

Establishment of the fungal entomopathogen beauveria bassiana as an endophyte in cocoa pods (Theobroma cacao L.)

Revista U.D.C.A Actualidad & Divulgación Científica, 2010
The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana was re-isolated from surface sterilized pieces of the cocoa pod outer section and peduncle, two and three months after flowers of greenhouse cocoa plants were hand-pollinated and sprayed with a 1x107 mL-1 ...

Understanding the Hygienic Behavioral Dynamics of Ants Using Multi‐State Models

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 361-370, April 2026.
Leaf‐cutting ants adjust grooming to pathogen risk and vulnerable nestmates. Multi‐state Markov models reveal shorter, frequent self‐grooming bouts and reduced allogrooming persistence under stress, optimizing social immunity via stigmergic decision‐making.

The genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes of the carrot weevil, Listronotus oregonensis, reveal adaptive mechanisms for host specialisation and symbiotic interactions

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 126-138, April 2026.
Comprehensive genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes reveal 14,637 genes in Listronotus oregonensis, advancing genetic insights into a key agricultural pest. Compared with related species, L. oregonensis exhibits reduced chemoreceptor gene families but expanded detoxification gene clusters, reflecting its narrow host range and adaptability.

Effect of Fungicides on Entomopathogenic Fungus, Verticillium lecanii.

Japanese journal of applied entomology and zoology, 1998
V. lecaniiに対する殺菌剤の影響を培地試験およびワタアブラムシとオンシツコナジラミを対象とした防除の圃場試験で検討した.1) 培地試験で影響のなかったプロシミドン水和剤とポリオキシン水溶剤は圃場試験でも本菌に対する影響は認められなかった.2) 培地試験でやや影響のあったイプロジオン水和剤を圃場試験で本菌散布3日後に散布した場合,本菌の二次感染力はやや低下する傾向が認められた.3) 培地試験でかなり影響のあったジクロフルアニド水和剤は,本菌散布後3日以内の使用では感染死亡虫が認められず,圃場試験でも本菌に対するかなりの影響が認められた.4) 殺菌剤がV. lecaniiに及ぼす影響は,V. lecaniiの系統の違いには関係はないと推察された.

Neem oil increases the persistence of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae for the control of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) larvae

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background The entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae is a candidate for the integrated management of the disease vector mosquito Aedes aegypti. Metarhizium anisopliae is pathogenic and virulent against Ae.

Identification of Natural Isonitriles Through Ligation to an Azomethine Imine Probe

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 11, 16 March 2026.
The azomethine imine (AMI)–isonitrile (NC) ligation allowed for the chemoselective detection of natural isonitriles in bacteria and fungi. The reactivity‐based screening establishes a new stereogenic center, thereby allowing for facile distinction between chiral and achiral isonitriles. The work also unraveled a unique reactivity of isonitriles bearing
