Infection of Malaria (Anopheles gambiae s.s.) and Filariasis (Culex quinquefasciatus)Vectors with the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium Anisopliae. [PDF]

, 2003
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.

A Drosophila melanogaster model shows that fast growing Metarhizium species are the deadliest despite eliciting a strong immune response

Virulence, 2023
We used Drosophila melanogaster to investigate how differences between Metarhizium species in growth rate and mechanisms of pathogenesis influence the outcome of infection.

Disclosing the production of fungal chitinases and proteases using insect by‐products as substrates in solid‐state fermentation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The world population is projected to reach nearly 9.7 billion by 2050, significantly increasing the demand for novel and sustainable protein sources. Edible insects, such as Tenebrio molitor, emerge as promising alternatives due to their high nutritional value, but adult insects and frass are direct and abundant by‐products of this ...

Tools for delivering entomopathogenic fungi to malaria mosquitoes: effects of delivery surfaces on fungal efficacy and persistence. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND\ud \ud Entomopathogenic fungi infection on malaria vectors increases daily mortality rates and thus represents a control measure that could be used in integrated programmes alongside insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) and indoor residual ...

Advances in research on autophagy in the maintenance of insect–microbe symbiosis

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a dual regulatory role in insect–microbe symbiotic relationships. Beneficial symbiotic bacteria in insects participate in nutrient exchange via the TOR pathway, whereas pathogenic microbes induce immune defense through the AMPK pathway. Autophagy‐related genes regulate development and pathogen clearance during this process.

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana reduces instantaneous blood feeding in wild multi-insecticide-resistant Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in Benin, West Africa. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Mosquito-borne diseases are still a major health risk in many developing countries, and the emergence of multi-insecticide-resistant mosquitoes is threatening the future of vector control.

Cost-effective technique for preserving entomopathogenic fungi

Studies in Fungi
The storage of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) with minimal loss of viability and pathogenicity is crucial for their conservation and the maintenance of fungal biodiversity in collections.

First genome sequence of a European Alternaria brassicae isolate and genes involved in early development of alternaria leaf spot on Brassica juncea

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.

Phylogenetic Reclassification of Metarhizium granulomatis and Metarhizium viride Species Complex

Pathogens
Metarhizium (M.) granulomatis and M. viride have previously been described as pathogens causing hyalohyphomycosis in various species of captive chameleons and bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps). Previous studies yielded different genotypes of M. granulomatis and M.
