Entomopathogens: Theory and practice [PDF]
Entomopathogens are the pathogens of insects, in other words those microorganisms or microscopic infectious agents like viruses, capable of causing them a disease possibly leading to their death. Beyond this simple and obvious definition, entomopathogens

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.

Entomopathogens for control of Hypsipyla spp [PDF]
, 2001 Published information on the incidence of pathogens in the field and laboratory infections of Hypsipyla spp. with entomopathogens is reviewed. In addition, some preliminary results of field collections from Ghana and Costa Rica are presented.

Microbiome‐mediated immunity: Limited support from the gazelle dung beetle
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Digitonthophagus gazella rely on a maternally inherited microbiome passed across generations via a maternal faecal pellet called the pedestal. We experimentally manipulated the presence of the pedestal, providing it to some individuals while withholding it from others to determine how pedestal microbiota may affect beetle immune potential.

Subterranean Termite Social Alarm and Hygienic Responses to Fungal Pathogens
Insects, 2019 In social insects, alerting nestmates to the presence of a pathogen should be critical for limiting its spread and initiating social mechanisms of defense.

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Habrobracon hebetor and Pteromalus cerealellae as Tools in Post-Harvest Integrated Pest Management
Insects, 2019 Consumers are increasingly demanding pesticide-free grain/legumes and processed foods. Additionally, there are more restrictions, or complete loss, of insecticides labelled for use in managing stored grain insects in post-harvest ecosystems.

Combined application of Isaria fumosorosea and beta-cyfluthrin in the control of coffee leaf miner
Revista Ceres, 2022 The coffee leaf miner is responsible for significant decreases in coffee production. To mitigate the problems caused by this pest control strategies need to be applied.

Bacteriomes, cryptic forms and evolution of a common wireworm pest species, Hypnoidus bicolor
Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Wireworms are important agricultural pests, including Hypnoidus bicolor in the Canadian Prairies. Parthenogenetic and sexual populations of H. bicolor appear associated with different molecular clades. Bacterial community composition and structure were influenced by developmental stage, sampling location and host genetics.
