Whereas studies have extensively examined the ability of bacteria to influence Plasmodium infection in the mosquito, the tripartite interactions between non-entomopathogenic fungi, mosquitoes, and Plasmodium parasites remain largely uncharacterized. Here we report the isolation of a common mosquito-associated ascomycete fungus, Penicillium chrysogenum, from the midgut of field-caught Anopheles ...

Herrero N, Pérez R, Oleaga A, Zabalgogeazcoa I. 2011. Tick pathogenicity, thermal tolerance and virus infection in Tolypocladium cylindrosporum. Annals of Applied Biology 159:192-201. Tolypocladium cylindrosporum is a fungus which has been isolated from soil, from asymptomatic plants as an endophyte, and has been shown to be pathogenic to several species of arthropods. The objective of the pres...

the compatibility of beauveria bassiana isolate debi 002 (atashgah) with fipronil, pyriproxyfenand hexaflumuron insecticides was assayed. to determine the impact of the insecticides on thegermination of the fungal spore, different concentrations of the compounds were added to the culturemedium (malt agar). in order to calculate the mycelial growth in different treatments, each colonydiameter wa...

Coffee berry borer Hypothenemus hampei (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), denoted CBB, is the most important insect pest of coffee worldwide, with a high impact on economy producing countries. The spends great part its life cycle inside and causes severe crop losses. Biological control based use an entomopathogenic fungus major alternative to chemical pesticides in order CBB. sprayed berries kill CBB wh...

Biological control of gypsy moth ( Lymantria dispar ) was carried out in 2021 the field protective forest belts at territory State Hunting Enterprise Balchik by introducing entomopathogenic fungus Entomophaga maimaiga (Entomophthorales: Entomophthoraceae). In same year a mortality rate 26.1% pest population registered. 2022 E. and multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus L Ld MNPV) caused collapse r...

Biological control of pests in agroecosystems could be enhanced by combining multiple natural enemies. However, this approach might also compromise the control efficacy through intraguild predation (IGP) among the natural enemies. Parasitoids may be able to avoid the risk of unidirectional IGP posed by entomopathogenic fungi through selective oviposition behavior during host foraging. Trybliogr...

Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are clues that help predatory insects search for food. The hypothesis that entomopathogenic fungi, which protect plants, benefit from the release of HIPVs was tested. The plant Arabidopsis thaliana was used as the source of HIPVs. The insect herbivore Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach) was used as the inducer, and the fungal pathogen of the aphid Lecanicilli...

Entomopathogenic fungi seem to be interesting as a source of biologically active compounds such as an insecticides1) and immunosuppressants2,3), because all insect orders are susceptible to fungal diseases. With the goal of finding novel bioactive compounds from fungi, we investigated metabolite diversity using an HPLC screening program. During the screening process, we isolated two novel metab...

Four commonly used herbicides were evaluated at two different temperatures and three concentrations (10X, 1X and 0.1X, where X = recommended field rate) for compatibility in vitro with the entomopathogenic fungi Conidiobolus thromboides, C. coronatus, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Paecilomyces farinosus and Verticillium lecanii. The effects of the herbicides on radial growth durin...
