Entomopathogenic fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana reduce the survival of Xenopsylla brasiliensis larvae (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae). [PDF]
, 2012 Entomopathogenic fungi, particularly those belonging to the genera Metarhizium and Beauveria have shown great promise as arthropod vector control tools. These agents, however, have not been evaluated against flea vectors of plague.

Fungal entomopathogens: new insights on their ecology [PDF]
, 2009 An important mechanism for insect pest control should be the use of fungal entomopathogens. Even though these organisms have been studied for more than 100 y, their effective use in the field remains elusive.

Chitooligosaccharides enzymatic production by Metarhizium anisopliae
Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering, 2010 The products of chitosan hydrolysis are chitooligosaccharides and are used mainly for medical applications due to their specific biological activities. The objective of this study was to detect and identify the products of enzymatic hydrolysis of chitosan (dimers to hexamers) using a crude extract of chitosanolytic enzymes produced by the fungus ...

Susceptibility of Myzus persicae, Brevicoryne brassicae and Nasonovia ribisnigri to fungal biopesticides in laboratory and field experiments [PDF]
, 2020 The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) for the control of aphid pests of field vegetable crops. Four biopesticides based on the EPF Beauveria bassiana (Botanigard ES and Naturalis L), Cordyceps fumosorosea s.l.

Sanitizing the fortress: protection of ant brood and nest material by worker antibiotics [PDF]
, 2013 Social groups are at particular risk for parasite infection, which is heightened in eusocial insects by the low genetic diversity of individuals within a colony. To combat this, adult ants have evolved a suite of defenses to protect each other, including

Truncated, strong inducible promoter Pmcl1 from Metarhizium anisopliae [PDF]
3 Biotech, 2019 In this study, Metarhizium collagen -like protein (MCL1) promoter from Metarhizium anisopliae was analysed and truncated into different sizes through series of targeted and random deletions based on the presence of various transcription factor-binding sites.

A strong immune response in young adult honeybees masks their increased susceptibility to infection compared to older bees [PDF]
, 2012 Honeybees, Apis mellifera, show age-related division of labor in which young adults perform maintenance ("housekeeping") tasks inside the colony before switching to outside foraging at approximately 23 days old. Disease resistance is an important feature
