Amended description and new combination for Entomophthora nebriae Raunkiaer, (1893), a little known entomopathogenic fungus attacking the ground beetle Nebria brevicollis (Fabricius, 1792) [PDF]

Alpine Entomology, 2018
A fungus attacking the ground beetle Nebria brevicollis (Fabricius, 1792) (Coleoptera, Carabidae) was collected in north-western Germany. The fungus was identical to Entomophthora nebriae Raunkiaer, 1893 (Entomophthoromycotina, Entomophthoraceae ...

High mortality of beetle migrants along the Eastern Mediterranean Flyway

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 896-901, November 2023., 2023
In spring, 2019 millions of insects migrated from the Middle East to Cyprus, across more than 100 km of ocean. Coleopteran migrants were recorded, but the vast majority were found stranded on the beach, suggesting that Coleopterans are weaker migrants than other members of the migratory insect assemblage. This migratory mortality is likely an important

Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and beyond

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 10, Page 3408-3424, October 2023., 2023
The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a parasite of slugs and snails and has been formulated into a biological control agent for use across northern Europe since 1994. Here, we review all research on P. hermaphrodita that has been carried out over the last 30 years and suggest future priorities.

The effects of non‐crop habitat on spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) abundance in fruit systems: A meta‐analysis

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 25, Issue 1, Page 66-76, February 2023., 2023
SWD showed greater abundance in non‐cropped habitats than cropped areas. This difference was greatest in woodland and field margins that produce host food for SWD. This difference was not affected by neighbouring crop type but was affected by conventional management of the crop and was greatest in the winter period.

Production of filamentous fungal biomass with increased oil content using olive oil as a carbon source

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 97, Issue 9, Page 2626-2635, September 2022., 2022
Abstract BACKGROUND Vegetable oil is more difficult for microorganisms to degrade compared with carbohydrates and protein. Oil‐rich waste creates serious environmental and health concerns if it remains untreated. The aim of the work reported here was to evaluate the effects on the nutritional composition of filamentous fungal biomass by growing it in ...

Metatranscriptomic profiling reveals diverse tick‐borne bacteria, protozoans and viruses in ticks and wildlife from Australia

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e2389-e2407, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Tick‐borne zoonoses are emerging globally due to changes in climate and land use. While the zoonotic threats associated with ticks are well studied elsewhere, in Australia, the diversity of potentially zoonotic agents carried by ticks and their significance to human and animal health is not sufficiently understood.

Hijacking time: How Ophiocordyceps fungi could be using ant host clocks to manipulate behavior

Parasite Immunology, Volume 44, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
Abstracts Ophiocordyceps fungi manipulate ant behaviour as a transmission strategy. Conspicuous changes in the daily timing of disease phenotypes suggest that Ophiocordyceps and other manipulators could be hijacking the host clock. We discuss the available data that support the notion that Ophiocordyceps fungi could be hijacking ant host clocks and ...

Biodiversity of Entomopathogenic Fungi Naturally Infecting Cabbage Aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae. L. [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2017
Ten entomopathogenic fungi were recorded naturally associated with cabbage aphid. They were five hyphomycetes and five Zygomycetes (four Entomophthorales & one Mucorales). Six genera showed good epizootic beside their safety to plants.
