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.

Industry perceptions of biological control in food manufacturing environments: A qualitative analysis of barriers and opportunities

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
Biological control is widely used in agriculture but rarely deployed in food manufacturing, where industry acceptability is unexamined. Semi‐structured interviews with 17 food manufacturing professionals across 15 facility contexts in northwest England and north Wales explored views on entomopathogenic fungi, Bacillus thuringiensis and parasitoid wasps.

Environmental and Behavioral Constraints on the Infection of Wireworms by Metarhizium anisopliae [PDF]

Environmental Entomology, 2007
Environmental and behavioral factors that affect the infection of wireworms [Agriotes obscurus L. (Coleoptera: Elateridae)] by a unique isolate of Metarhizium anisopliae Sorokin (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) were studied. After wireworms were placed in soil containing 10(6) M.

Metarhizium mendonceae sp. nov.: An important biological control agent for insect pests.

PLoS ONE
The Metarhizium anisopliae complex consists of 34 formally described phylogenetic species. Metarhizium anisopliae sensu lato has been used for decades in Brazil as a biological control agent for controlling spittlebugs in sugarcane plantations.

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.

Effects of the temperature and storage on formulations with Mycelia of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill and Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschn.) Sorok

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 1999
This research deals with preparation of experimental formulations with mycelia of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae. The formulations were prepared with sodium alginate and pre-gelatinized corn-starch. They were kept at 25, 30 and 35±1ºC. Pre-
