Adult Diaphorina citri Biocontrol Using Hirsutella citriformis Strains and Gum Formulations [PDF]

Plants, 2023
Hirsutella citriformis Speare is the only entomopathogenic fungus that has been applied to control the hemipteran Diaphorina citri Kuwayama. However, the use of available commercial products under field conditions is limited due to conidia’s shelf life ...

The transcriptome of the entomopathogenic fungus Culicinomyces clavisporus contains an ortholog of the insecticidal ribotoxin Hirsutellin [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
The entomopathogenic fungus Culicinomyces clavisporus is known to infect and kill mosquito larvae and therefore has been seen as a potential biological control agent against disease vector mosquitoes.

Reappraisal of the phylogenetic relationships of hirsutella-like fungi across Ophiocordycipitaceae and Polycephalomycetaceae (Hypocreales, Sordariomycetes), and the description of seven new species [PDF]

IMA Fungus
Entomopathogens constitute a unique and specialized trophic group of fungi, most of which belong to Hypocreales (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota). In this study, eight species were collected and isolated from China and Thailand.
