In the present study, four fungal isolates (Metarhizium anisopliae) were isolated and examined for their sporulation characteristics and virulence against Coptotermes formosanus. Initially fungal strains were isolated through insect bait (Galleria) method. The mortality was significantly varied between 2 to 4 days. nd th In in this study inspection, the mortality of termites was observed after ...

the Animal Production Branch, Division of Research Serv ices, NIH, Bethesda, Md. Growth of FBL-3Tumor Cells. The FBL-3 cells were a Friend virus-induced leukemia in B6 mice (10). Inoculation of as few as 1 x 10@cells i.p. produced progressive tumor growth and eventually killed the hosts (progressors). In contrast, s.c. inoculation of up to 5 to 15 x 106 cells pro duced only transient tumor grow...

Several methods of inoculating host tion towels are superimposed, moistened plants with larvae of Meloidogyne incognita Chitwood have been developed. Chapman and Eason (1) enumerated desirable criteria for inoculating plants with endoparasitic nematodes. They introduced the use of Miracloth® to maintain moisture and provide a support medium for nematode penetration. McClure and Robertson (4) de...
