Metarhizium robertsii is an insect pathogen as well as an endophyte, and can antagonize the phytopathogen, Fusarium solani during bean colonization. However, plant immune responses to endophytic colonization by Metarhizium are largely unknown. We applied

Pyrethroid resistance in
Background Entomopathogenic fungi are being investigated as a new mosquito control tool because insecticide resistance is preventing successful mosquito control in many countries, and new methods are required that can target insecticide-resistant malaria

Metarhizium anisopliae enzymes and toxins
Entomopathogenic fungi are both a feasible system for the control of insect pests in agriculture with a growing market and an important model for studies of host-pathogen interaction. In the last ten years the actual use of fungi, mainly Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana, is increasing reaching commercial scale in Countries like Brazil ...

Metarhizium robertsii produces an extracellular invertase (MrINV) that plays a pivotal role in rhizospheric interactions and root colonization. [PDF]
As well as killing pest insects, the rhizosphere competent insect-pathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii also boosts plant growth by providing nitrogenous nutrients and increasing resistance to plant pathogens. Plant roots secrete abundant nutrients but

Real-time quantitative PCR for analysis of candidate fungal biopesticides against malaria: Technique validation and first applications [PDF]
Recent research has indicated that fungal biopesticides could augment existing malaria vector control tools. Here we present a set of methodologies to monitor the in vivo kinetics of entomopathogenic fungi in Anopheles in the presence or absence of ...

Infection of Malaria (Anopheles gambiae s.s.) and Filariasis (Culex quinquefasciatus)Vectors with the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium Anisopliae. [PDF]
Current intra-domiciliary vector control depends on the application of residual insecticides and/or repellents. Although biological control agents have been developed against aquatic mosquito stages, none are available for adults.

Metarhizium aciculare sp. nov. for euvesperins A and B producing Metarhizium strains
Abstract We have already found some Metarhizium isolates produce euvesperins A and B, which were circumventors of arbekacin resistance in MRSA. These isolates were obtained from soil samples collected from the Izu islands and Kannami town, Sizuoka, Japan.
