Entomopathogenic fungi tested in planta on pepper and in field on sorghum, to control commercially important species of aphids

Spiridon Mantzoukas et al.

Summary: The use of entomopathogenic fungi as a biocontrol method for aphids is important due to their high reproductive capacity. The tested fungi, such as Beauveria bassiana, Trichoderma gamsii, and Metarhizium brunneum, were effective in reducing aphid populations and increasing crop yields. These findings demonstrate the potential of using these strains to control aphids and improve crop productivity.

Current susceptibilities of brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens to triflumezopyrim and other frequently used insecticides in China

Liao Xun et al.

Summary: The research demonstrated that the brown planthopper in China has developed low resistance to the novel insecticide triflumezopyrim, while showing varying levels of resistance to other commonly used insecticides. These findings could help in delaying the evolution of insecticide resistance in the brown planthopper populations.

Immunotranscriptome analysis of Plutella xylostella reveals differences in innate immune responses to low- and high-virulence Beauveria bassiana strain challenges

Yulong Wang et al.

Summary: Entomopathogenic fungi have developed strategies to overcome insect immune defenses, while insects have defense mechanisms against fungal infection. This study identified differences in the immune response of Plutella xylostella to different Beauveria bassiana infections at 48 hours, revealing genes related to innate immunity.

A humoral factor, hemolymph proteinase 8, elicits a cellular defense response of nodule formation in Bombyx mori larvae in association with recognition by C-type lectins

Kotomi Tokunaga et al.

Summary: The role of hemolymph proteins HP and C-type lectins in eliciting the cellular defense response of nodule formation in insects has been successfully demonstrated using an in vitro assay system. These factors were found to consistently inhibit nodule-like aggregate formation in various tested microorganisms, highlighting their significance in insect immunity.

Evaluation of bioefficacy potential of entomopathogenic fungi against the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.) on cotton under polyhouse and field conditions

Satish Kumar Sain et al.

Summary: The whitefly is causing serious problems on Bt cotton, and using entomopathogenic fungi as part of integrated pest management can effectively control the whitefly population. Experiments in different conditions have shown that certain strains of entomopathogenic fungi exhibit higher virulence against whitefly nymphs, aiding in effective whitefly management.

First report on the natural occurrence of entomopathogenic fungi in populations of the leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae): Pathogen identifications and their incidence in maize crops

Daniela Aguiar Souza et al.

Summary: The study identifies two fungal species infecting the corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis, Metarhizium brasiliense and Batkoa, with a higher incidence of Batkoa displaying typical symptoms on the adults. The widespread occurrence of these pathogens in Brazil is indicated, opening up possibilities for more biological control studies and tools development in managing populations of D. maidis.

Comprehensive insights into host-pathogen interaction between brown planthopper and a fungal entomopathogen by dual RNA sequencing

Zheng-Liang Wang et al.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms of host-pathogen interaction between BPH and M. anisopliae. The results show that BPH and the fungal entomopathogen can both induce specific genes to defend against or infect the other, highlighting potential targets for biocontrol strategies. Synergistic effects were observed when combining RNAi and fungal infection, leading to enhanced mortality rates of BPH.

Insight into the Systematics of Novel Entomopathogenic Fungi Associated with Armored Scale Insect, Kuwanaspis howardi (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) in China

Xiu-Lan Xu et al.

Summary: This study identified three entomopathogenic fungi associated with Kuwanaspis howardi, a scale insect on Phyllostachys heteroclada and Pleioblastus amarus in China. Two new species were established within the genus Podonectria, including P. kuwanaspidis and P. novae-zelandiae. Molecular and morphological analyses provided evidence for the validity of these species and their placement in the family Podonectriaceae within the order Pleosporales.
