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 ...

Statistical modelling of conidial discharge of entomophthoralean fungi using a newly discovered Pandora species [PDF]

, 2019
Entomophthoralean fungi are insect pathogenic fungi and are characterized by their active discharge of infective conidia that infect insects. Our aim was to study the effects of temperature on the discharge and to characterize the variation in the ...

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 ...

Neural mechanisms of parasite-induced summiting behavior in ‘zombie’ Drosophila

eLife, 2023
For at least two centuries, scientists have been enthralled by the “zombie” behaviors induced by mind-controlling parasites. Despite this interest, the mechanistic bases of these uncanny processes have remained mostly a mystery.

Ineraction between some saprophytic and entomopathogenis fungi

Acta Mycologica, 2014
The studies on interactions between selected entomopathogenic fungi: Beaweria bassiana, Conidiobolus thromboides (= Entomophthora virulenta), Paecilomyces farinosus, Verticillium lecanii and four species of saprophytic fungi were carried out.

Entomopathogenic Fungi as Mortality Agents in Insect Populations: A Review. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We provide a quantitative review of studies reporting mortality attributable to entomopathogenic fungi in field populations of insects. Overall, data on this subject are surprisingly limited. Nevertheless, they support the conclusion that the assemblages of pathogenic fungi associated with insect populations are diverse but the prevalence mostly ...

A Global Systematic Review on the Potential of Metal-Based Nanoparticles in the Fight Against Mosquito Vectors. [PDF]

J Trop Med
Background: Mosquito‐borne diseases, such as malaria, filariasis, dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and other viral infections, pose significant public health challenges worldwide. For many years, chemical insecticides were used in the form of indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide‐treated nets (ITNs).

Epizootiology of the Fungal Pathogen, \u3ci\u3eZoophthora Phytonomi\u3c/i\u3e (Zygomycetes: Entomophthorales) in Field Populations of Alfalfa Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Larvae in Illinois [PDF]

, 2017
The influence of the fungal pathogen, Zoophthora phytonomi, on larvae of the alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica, was studied in three alfalfa fields in Illinois. Disease epizootics occurred in all three fields and disease onset was ob- served within a fairly
