Behavioural responses of peach potato aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer (Hemiptera: Aphididae), to entomopathogenic fungi infected conspecifics

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Myzus persicae showed no detectable behavioural response to Beauveria bassiana‐colonised agar alone. Aphids spent significantly more time in odour fields containing EPF‐infected conspecifics than healthy aphids, agar or blank air. EPF infection may alter host‐associated odours, suggesting pathogen‐mediated cues could influence aphid behaviour and ...

Exploiting Native Biodiversity for Invasive Species Management: The Case of Exorista larvarum as a Natural Enemy of the Invasive Box Tree Moth Cydalima perspectalis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The investigations evaluated the performance of the native parasitoid Exorista larvarum (L.) on last instar Cydalima perspectalis (Walker) larvae, using the factitious host Galleria mellonella (L.) as a control. Laboratory bioassays were conducted using no‐choice and choice (1:1 and 5:5) experimental designs.

Chromosome level assembly and secondary metabolite potential of the parasitic fungus Cordyceps militaris

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Cordyceps militaris is an insect pathogenic fungus that is prized for its use in traditional medicine. This and other entomopathogenic fungi are understudied sources for the discovery of new bioactive molecules. In this study, PacBio SMRT long

Assessing the Efficacy of Steinernema carpocapsae for Biological Control of Megaselia halterata on Mushroom Farms

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Steinernema carpocapsae applications averaged 40%–60% mortality of mushroom phorid larvae in laboratory experiments. Survival experiments showed that nematode populations drop 50% approximately 5 days post application in mushroom compost. ABSTRACT Mushroom phorid flies (Megaselia halterata; MPF) are a major pest of commercial mushroom production, where

The combination of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae with the insecticide Imidacloprid increases virulence against the dengue vector Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

Parasites & Vectors, 2011
Background Dengue fever transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti, is one of the most rapidly spreading insect borne diseases, stimulating the search for alternatives to current control measures. The dengue vector A.

Fungal infection affects sexual signalling and mate choice in the sugarcane borer

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Fungus‐infected Diatraea saccharalis females exhibit enhanced attractiveness to males in wind tunnel assays. Fungal infection alters the pheromone profile of females, increasing the relative abundance of Z9‐16: Ald, a minor but behaviourally active component of the species' sex pheromone blend.

Re-visiting insecticide resistance status in Anopheles gambiae from Côte d'Ivoire: a nation-wide informative survey. [PDF]

, 2013
Insecticide resistance constitutes a major threat that may undermine current gain in malaria control in most endemic countries. National Malaria Control Programmes (NMCPs) need as much information as possible on the resistance status of malaria vectors ...

The Ability of Entomopathogenic Fungus as Biocontrol of Periplaneta americana

El-Hayah:Jurnal Biologi, 2022
Periplaneta americana (cockroach), are well-known pests that not only contaminate food with feces and germs that can cause food poisoning, but also transfer bacteria, fungus, and other dangerous microbes. Chemical pesticides are harmful to both the environment and individuals when used in excess.
