in order to complete the microbial control of the sawthoothed beetle by the fungus beauvaria bassiana (isolate 441c) in ipm program of stored date, 9 edible and commercial vegetable oils including canola, soybean, sesame, corn, coconut, grape seed, olive, sunflower and almond were investigated to formulate the fungus. results showed that b. bassiana formulated with sesame oil was the most suita...

The spores have formed by fungi and these spores have developed characteristics that enable them to cope with the stresses of survival and disintegration. In the distribution of fungus spores in the atmosphere, it is important in the meteorological factors as well as the features of the fungus. The meteorological factors that play a role in the distribution of fungus spores are temperature, hum...

entomopathogenic fungi may be affected by pesticides used to protect crop plants. the in vitro compatibility of beauveria bassiana and metarhizium anisopliae with three fungicides and 16 insecticides was evaluated. the formulations of pesticides were tested in three concentrations (mean concentration (mc), half mc and twice the mc). all tested fungicides, at three concentrations, were incompati...

background: considering to the high distribution of cockroaches as urban pests, the efficacy of different formula­tions of metarhizium anisopliae strain iran 437c were assessed against the brown-banded cockroach, supella longi­palpa f. under laboratory and field conditions. methods: metarhizium anisopliae isolates were screened with immersing adults of the brown-banded cockroachs in aqueous sus...

fungal rhino sinusitis (frs) is an important infection of para nasal sinuses, which encompasses two main categories; invasive and noninvasive forms according to histopathological findings. aspergillus spp are the most common species isolated from noninvasive form, while mucorales are more frequently isolates from acute infections.four hundred fifty patients suspected to fungal rhino sinusitis w...

background and objectives: the objective of this study was to monitor the microorganisms isolated from grapes and its derivative traditional products produced in iran. material and methods: four kinds of grapes cultivated summer of 2010 in vineyard of takestan and also grape derived products from shahrod, hamedan and takestan were used for this study.  the samples were cultured in specific medi...

the sub-lethal effect of metarhizium anisopliae and imidacloprid as well as combination of the two control agents was examined on life table parameters of myzus persicae on different cultivars of canola under laboratory condition at 25 ± 1 ºc, 85% rh and photoperiod of 16l: 8d. the offspring resulting from fungus-infested adults were placed onto leaf discs in petri dishes separately to record t...

background: the frequency of invasive opportunistic mycoses has increased significantly over the past decades especially in immunocompromised patients. invasive aspergillosis (ia) has become a major cause of morbidity and mortality among these patients. as bronchoalveolar lavage (bal) fluid samples are generally useful specimens in the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (ipa), this s...

patients with pulmonary cavities are usually exposed to other pulmonary infections, especially of fungus origin, such as asnprgillosis and coccidiomycosis. they are manifested by the formation of fungus ball in these cavities, which is completely resistant to anti-fungal therapy. in these circumstance the best method of treatment is removing of the ball by surgery, in this paper a case of pulmo...
