Cellular immune response of Amblyomma sculptum and Amblyomma americanum to entomopathogenic fungi: Implications for biological tick control

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Amblyomma sculptum showed a plasmatocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana increased plasmatocytes and reduced granulocytes, whereas Metarhizium robertsii did not cause significant changes. Amblyomma americanum showed a granulocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana reduced total haemocytes and granulocytes. B.

Immune Response and Gut Microbiota Shift in the Red Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) Infected With Entomopathogenic Fungus, Beauveria bassiana, Reveal Host‐Pathogen Interactions

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 2, June 2026.
This study reveals a “Microbiota‐Immune Axis” in Beauveria bassiana‐infected larvae, where gut dysbiosis positively correlates with systemic immunity in the fat body. Meanwhile, the hindgut exhibits immune tolerance, highlighting a tissue‐specific trade‐off between combating the pathogen and preserving the gut microbiome.

Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Biocontrol for Shrimp Disease: Comprehensive Review and a Bacterial Disease Biocontrol Practice

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biocontrol is a key strategy for disease control, as it is environmentally friendly and widely applicable. This review elaborates on biocontrol in aquaculture, particularly in shrimp culture. Biocontrol in shrimp culture mainly relies on four strategies: (i) direct kill pathogen by Bdellovibrio or bacteriophages; (ii) suppression of intestinal

Colony sectorization of Metarhizium anisopliae is a sign of ageing [PDF]

Microbiology, 2005
Spontaneous phenotypic degeneration resulting in sterile sectors is frequently observed when culturing filamentous fungi on artificial medium. Sterile sectors from two different strains of the insect pathogenic fungusMetarhizium anisopliaewere investigated and found to contain reduced levels of cAMP and destruxins (insecticidal peptides).

Isolation and characterization of Beauveria and Metarhizium spp. from walnut fields and their pathogenicity against the codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2018
Entomopathogenic fungi (EPFs) play an important role for regulating insect pest populations, as they exist in many different ecosystems. Within these fungi, Beauveria and Metarhizium spp.

Spinosad‐based insecticide is an effective control method for the potato soil pests Agriotes sp. and Melolontha sp.

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) growers who would like to biologically control major soil pests of potato face an increasing challenge. Two pest species have a major impact on yield quality: white grubs (Melolontha sp.; Eschscholtz, 1829) and wireworms (Agriotes sp.; Fabricius, 1775). Farmers who want to grow potatoes in a sustainable fashion to

Imbibitional damage in conidia of the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium acridum, and Metarhizium anisopliae

Biological Control, 2009
Abstract When dried organisms are immersed in water, rapid imbibition may cause severe damage to plasma membranes; in unicellular organisms, such damage is usually lethal. This study investigated effects of water activity (dryness) of organisms and immersion temperature on imbibitional damage in three insect pathogenic fungi.

Meta-Analysis and Evaluation by Insect-Mediated Baiting Reveal Different Patterns of Hypocrealean Entomopathogenic Fungi in the Soils From Two Regions of China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
A survey was carried out on forest soils and grassland soils from Hebei and Sichuan provinces using Tenebrio molitor larvae as a bait, and high-throughput DNA sequencing (HTS) of the fungal internal transcribed spacer-2 ribosomal DNA was used to monitor ...
