In this study, the effects of commercially available entomopathogens, Nibortem (Verticillium lecani), Met52 (Metarhizium anisopliae), Nostalgist (Beauveria bassiana) and Priority (Paecilomyces fumosoroseus), a herbal insecticide, Nimbecidine (Azadirachtin), on pest aphids, Aphis fabae Acyrthosiphon pisum, were investigated. The corrected mortalities they caused to A. 78.41%, 87.50%, 65.91%, 63....

program, we systematically investigated the diversity of metabolites in Deuteromycota, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Nomuraea rileyi, Paecilomyces fumosoroseus and Verticillium lecanii, which have been isolated from the corpses of insects. Comparative study of the HPLC elution pattern among fungal metabolites found that a strain, Beauveria bassiana EPF-5, produced two novel metabo...

A fungal pathogen that killed adult Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Asian citrus psyllid) (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) in Florida citrus groves during the fall of 2005 was identified and characterized. Investigation of this pathogen is important because D. citri vectors citrus greening disease (Huanglongbing), which was reported in Florida in 2005. The morphological and genetic data generated herein suppo...

Bioasai di makmal tiga pencilan tempatan entomopatogen hyphomycete ke atas ulat hati kubis, Crocidolomia binotalis Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) dan efikasi lapangan beberapa persediaan formulasi Paecilomyces fumosoroseus (Wise) Brown & Smith telah dinilai. Bioasai dos-kernatian menunjukkan kesemua pencilan berupaya menyebabkan maut ke atas larva instar kedua. Kebanyakan larva menjadi moribun...

c s t u a 1 b d f a a i 1 b Collaborative research was conducted at the USDARS Subtropical Agricultural Research Center in southrn Texas to assess the microbial control potential of eauveria bassiana and Paecilomyces fumosoroseus gainst Bemisia whiteflies. Laboratory assays demontrated the capacity of both pathogens to infect Bemisia rgentifolii nymphs on excised hibiscus leaves incubated t rel...

The termite Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) protects itself from entomopathogenic fungus by mutual grooming behavior. C. formosanus removes foreign organisms, such as fungal conidia, from the body surface of its nestmates by mutual grooming behavior and eating them. The conidia removal rate from the body surface differed according to the isolate of entomopathogenic fu...
