Biological insect control using Metarhizium anisopliae: morphological, molecular, and ecological aspects

Ciência Rural, 2014
Microbial control of insects is based on the rational use of pathogens to maintain environmentally balanced pest population levels, and Metarhizium anisopliae has been the most studied and most utilized fungal species for that purpose.

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

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 582-594, September 2026.
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.

Leaf penetration by endophytic Metarhizium brunneum enables infection of Phthorimaea absoluta in tomato mines while inducing the crop defense system

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7794-7808, August 2026.
Spraying Metarhizium brunneum on tomato plants controls heterogeneous and upcoming Phthorimaea absoluta populations by infecting larvae within mines and priming plant induced systemic defences. Abstract BACKGROUND The endophytic entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum Petch EAMa 01/58‐Su shows strong potential for managing Phthorimaea absoluta, a ...

Mycoviruses as Biocontrol Agents: Potential Applications for Managing Pests and Diseases of Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus)

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) production faces a wide range of biotic threats. Pests typically pose a greater threat than diseases to oilseed rape, yet both vary considerably across the major cultivating regions. Management strategies often rely heavily on the use of chemical pesticides which may have harmful effects on the environment, thus ...
