Detection of the toxin Hirsutellin A from Hirsutella thompsonii.
A total of 162 strains of Hirsutella thompsonii, isolated from infected mites collected worldwide, were examined for the production of Hirsutellin A (HtA). More than half of the broth filtrates exhibited mortality rates superior to 50% when assayed against Galleria mellonella.

Conidiation of Hirsutella thompsonii var. synnematosa in submerged culture
Abstract Fourteen monosporal isolates of Hirsutella thompsonii grew vegetatively in various liquid media producing typical phialidic-like conidiophores. Hirsutella thompsonii var. synnematosa from Ivory Coast (HtIC) was the only pathotype which produced true conidia in submerged culture. HtIC began producing conidia after 3 days incubation reaching a

Isozyme differentiation among 17 geographical isolates of Hirsutella thompsonii
Abstract Electrophoretic analysis of mycelial preparations of 17 isolates of Hirsutella thompsonii demonstrated extensive variability in isozyme content. Many isolates possessed distinct electromorphs used to group or separate individual isolates. Coefficients of similarity based on isozyme patterns closely followed the morphological scheme used to

The potential of Hirsutella thompsonii Fisher and Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschinkoff) as biological control agents of the parasitic mite, Varroa destructor Anderson and Trueman was evaluated in the laboratory and in observation hives. In the laboratory, time required for 90% cumulative mortality of mites (LT(90)) was 4.16 (3.98-4.42) days for H ...

Primeiro relato de atividade patogênica de Hirsutella thompsonii (Fischer) sobre o ácaro-da-erinose-da-lichia Aceria litchii (Keifer) [PDF]
The litchi erineum mite, Aceria litchii (Keifer) is found in all producing regions attacking leaves and flowers of litchi plants. The mite attack young leaves and causes the erinea on leaf surface, which later become brown galls with velvety appearance ...

Effects of Formulated Imidacloprid on Two Mite Pathogens, Neozygites Floridana (Zygomycotina: Zygomycetes) and Hirsutella Thompsonii (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes) [PDF]
Neozygites floridana (Weiser & Muma) Remaudiere & Keller and Hirsutella thompsonii Fisher are important fungal pathogens of mites on cassava in Benin. Bioassays were conducted to evaluate the influence of four concentrations (50, 100, 200 and 500 ppm) of a water-dispersible formulation (Gaucho 70 WS) of imidacloprid on the conidial germination of these

Can microbial-based insecticides replace chemical pesticides in agricultural production? [PDF]
Abstract Extensive use of chemical insecticides to control insect pests in agriculture has improved yields and production of high‐quality food products. However, chemical insecticides have been shown to be harmful also to beneficial insects and many other organisms like vertebrates.
