Ação in vitro dos fungos Beauveria bassiana (Bals) Vuill e Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch) Sorok sobre ninfas e adultos de Amblyomma cajennense (Fabricius, 1787) (Acari: Ixodidae)

Abstract: O trabalho teve por objetivo verificar a mortalidade in vitro de ninfas e adultos de Amblyomma cajennense frente à ação de isolados dos fungos Beauveria bassiana e Metarhizium anisopliae. Foram avaliados três isolados de M. anisopliae (959, 319 e E9) e dois de B. bassiana (986 e 747). As suspensões de conídios foram preparadas a partir de fungos produzidos em meio de arroz, e cada bioensaio foi constituído de quatro tratamentos nas concentrações 10(5), 10(6), 10(7), 10(8) conídios/ml e um grupo-controle. A aná… Show more

“…This suggests that adult I. scapularis are more susceptible to M. anisopliae ESC1 than nymphs. Consistent with our observations for I. scapularis, Reis et al (2001) reported that the LC 50 of M. anisopliae (isolates 959, 319, and E9) was higher (5 · 10 10 to almost 3 · 10 11 spores/ml) for nymphal Amblyomma cajennense than for adults (1.4-4.4 · 10 8 ); they also found that at 10 8 spores/ml, M. anisopliae induced 63-76% and 32-45% mortality in unfed A. cajennense adults and nymphs, respectively. Samish et al (2001), however, reported that 10 7 spores/ ml M. anisopliae (isolates 7, 43, and 108) induced 40-100% mortality only 7 days post-infection against unfed nymphal Rhipicephalus sanguineus.…”

“…M. anisopliae ESC1 induced high mortality in engorged I. scapularis larvae, engorged females (Zhioua et al 1997), and unfed adults in the laboratory (Benjamin et al 2002), and in questing adults under field conditions (Benjamin et al 2002). Various strains of M. anisopliae have induced significant mortality in all stages, fed and unfed, of other ixodid ticks in the laboratory (e.g., Mwangi et al 1995;Kaaya et al 1996;Correia et al 1998;Frazzon et al 2000;Kaaya 2000;Onofre et al 2001;Paiao et al 2001;Reis et al 2001;Samish et al 2001;Gindin et al 2002) and under field conditions (Kaaya et al 1996;Kaaya 2000;Kaaya and Hassan 2000). Entomopathogenic fungi, which are natural pathogens of ixodid ticks, are expected to have lower toxicity and weaker environmental impacts (Croft 1990;Zimmermann 1993;Lacey et al 2001;Ginsberg et al 2002;Johnson et al 2002) than chemical controls.…”

“…Testes in vitro e de estábulo demonstraram que diversos isolados de M. anisopliae s.l. possuem alta virulência contra carrapatos, incluindo R. microplus (BITTENCOURT et al, 1994;REIS et al, 2001;BAHIENSE et al, 2007;BITTENCOURT, 2008).…”

“…Although the great variability in the susceptibility of different tick species and stages to entomopathogenic fungi has been demonstrated at length (Frazzon et al, 2000;Gindin et al, 2001;Reis et al, 2001;Samish et al, 2001), the mechanisms behind this variability have not been evaluated in detail. Observations of these fungi at the early stages of tick infection have revealed many similarities with pre-penetration events reported for insect hosts of fungi (Garcia et al, 2005).…”
