An extra-domiciliary method of delivering entomopathogenic fungus, Metharizium anisopliae IP 46 for controlling adult populations of the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis. [PDF]

, 2010
: Fungal biopesticides have the potential to significantly reduce densities of malaria vectors as well as associated malaria transmission. In previous field trials, entomopathogenic fungus was delivered from within human dwellings, where its efficacy was

Evolutionary trade‐offs between beauvericin production and growth define divergent virulence strategies in Beauveria

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Two virulence strategies in Beauveria: a growth strategy characterized by rapid within‐host proliferation, and a toxin strategy involving antimicrobial activity and toxicity to insects Abstract BACKGROUND Pathogen virulence is often attributed to toxin production, yet toxins are metabolically costly and may not universally enhance fitness.

Larvicidal activity of different entomopathogenic fungi on Halyomorpha halys (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) under laboratory conditions

Italian Journal of Mycology
Halyomorpha halys, represents a significant threat to a diverse array of agricultural crops. The most prevalent method of control employed against H. halys in integrated fruit production is the use of chemical insecticides.

Agricultural Fungicide Mancozeb in Leaf Litter Enhances Survival and Growth of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mancozeb is one of the most widely used agricultural fungicides, exhibiting strong efficacy against a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi. However, its widespread application comes at the cost of environmental contamination. Here, we show the effects of Inga vera leaf litter contamination with Mancozeb on life‐history traits of Aedes ...

An update of a green pesticide:Metarhizium anisopliae

All Life, 2022
Metarhizium anisopliae (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae, M. anisopliae), as an invertebrate fungal pathogen, has played a significant role in the control of many agricultural pests and human disease vectors. M. anisopliae is typically used as a chemical in dry or liquid formulations of large numbers of aerial conidia.

Infection of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, with two species of entomopathogenic fungi: effects of concentration, co-formulation, exposure time and persistence [PDF]

, 2009
Background Entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana isolates have been shown to infect and reduce the survival of mosquito vectors.

Commercial Product Based on Metarhizium Anisopliae Affects Survival, Midgut Morphology, and Behavior in the Stingless Bee Scaptotrigona depilis (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brazilian social stingless bees are important pollinators and producers of honey, wax, royal jelly, propolis, and other products. These species are experiencing a population decline, attributed to different factors, such as the excessive use of pesticides.

Emulsifiable oils protect Metarhizium robertsii and Metarhizium pingshaense conidia from imbibitional damage

Biological Control, 2011
AbstractImbibitional damage (ID) may take place when dehydrated cells are immersed in water and, within certain limits, damage to the plasma membrane is inversely proportional to the immersion temperature. Dried Metarhizium anisopliae conidia formulated in pure oil are not severely impacted when rehydrated in a cold agar-based substrate, whereas dried,

Exploiting the behaviour of wild malaria vectors to achieve high infection with fungal biocontrol agents [PDF]

, 2012
Background Control of mosquitoes that transmit malaria has been the mainstay in the fight against the disease, but alternative methods are required in view of emerging insecticide resistance.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
