“…Neves and Alves (2004) stated that using microbial insecticide for controlling termites has several advantages such as has relative low cost, have many strains and can be germinate strain in vitro. suggested that using microbial insecticide in controlling termites besides has relative low cost, those agents relative have no negative effect for human and environment.…”

This review focuses on the study of subterranean termites as structural and building pests especially in Asia Tropical countries. Since wood is one of the oldest, most important and most versatile building materials and still widely utilized by home owners in the region. Subterranean termites have long been a serious pest of wooden construction and they are still causing an important problem in most of tropical and subtropical regions. This termite group is build shelter tubes and nest in the soil or on the sides of trees or building constructions and relies principally on soil for moisture. Subterranean termite damage on building and other wooden structure cause costs associated with the prevention and treatment of termite infestation. Termite control, thus, is a realistic problem not only for human life but also for conservation of natural environment. All countries especially Asian countries are now seeking for the safer chemicals or the more effective methods for termite control. A huge amount of research in recent years has been devoted to termite control technologies to reduce environmental contamination and the risk to human health.

“…Viegas e Paecilomyces fumosoroseus Bainier, como os mais importantes (ALVES, 1998a), sendo que, para a mosca-dasfrutas, os fungos mais estudados têm sido M. anisopliae e B. bassiana. A patogenicidade destes isolados tem sido estudada por vários autores, em diferentes fases do ciclo de vida de C. capitata, como exemplo, OLIVEIRA et al (2010).…”

Seleção de fungos patogênicos para controle de larvas e pupas da mosca-das-frutas Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

ResumoA mosca-das-frutas, Ceratitis capitata é considerada praga de grande importância econômica no Brasil e no mundo, sendo considerada também espécie quarentenária em diversos países. Normalmente, são utilizados inseticidas químicos para o controle deste inseto, causando impactos na saúde e no meio ambiente, inclusive podendo haver restrições de países importadores devido à presença de resíduos tóxicos nos frutos. Portanto, há necessidade de estudos de outros métodos de controle, para incrementar o Manejo Integrado de Pragas, usando agentes de controle biológico. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a patogenicidade dos fungos entomopatogênicos das espécies Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorokin, Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuillemin, Paecilomyces fumosoroseus Bainier, Paecilomyces sp. Bainier, Verticillium lecanii (Zimm.) Viegas, em larvas de 3 o instar e pupas da mosca-das-frutas Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae). Realizou-se inicialmente uma seleção destes isolados em larvas, através de imersão em suspensão aquosa de conídios. A mortalidade larval causada por 36 isolados dos fungos variou de 2,5% a 96,2%. Destacaram-se como mais patogênicos, seis isolados de M. anisopliae e dois de B. bassiana. Numa segunda série de bioensaios, conduzidos com os isolados selecionados, pupas foram tratadas com suspensão aquosa, na concentração de 1,2 x 10 8 conídios viáveis/mL e germinação variando de 85 a 98,2%. A mortalidade pupal causada pelos fungos foi baixa, variando de 1,9 a 4,4%, porém houve diminuição da longevidade dos adultos sobreviventes.Palavras-chave adicionais: controle microbiano; fungos entomopatogênicos; mosca-do-mediterrâneo. AbstractThe fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata, is considered a pest of great economic importance and is also considered a quarantine species in several countries. Usually chemical insecticides are used for the control of this pest. These products may cause impacts on the public health and on the environment and this leads importing countries to restrict the amounts of imported fruits due to the possibility of toxic residues in the fruits. So, studies of other control methods are necessary to increase the integrated management of pests. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pathogenicity of the entomopathogenic fungi of the species Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorokin, Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuillemin, Paecilomyces fumosoroseus Bainier, Paecilomyces sp. Bainier, Verticillium lecani Viegas in 3 rd instar larvae and pupae of fruit fly [Ceratitis capitata Wiedermann (Diptera : Tephritidae)]. Initially a selection of those isolates in larvae through the immersion in an aqueous suspension of conidia was made. The larval mortality caused by 36 fungi isolates varied between 2.5 and 96.2%. Six M. anisopliae isolates and two B. bassiana isolates were found to be the most pathogenic. In a second series of bioassays, carried out with the selected isolates, pupae were treated in an aqueous suspension at the concentration of 1.2 x 10 8 viable conidia/mL and germin...

“…Advances on knowledge about the process of penetration and parasitism of entomopathogenic fungi over some insects of agricultural importance have been made by using the help from electronic microscopy (Moino et al, 2002;Neves and Alves, 2004). These studies have demonstrated differences on infection rate of the pathogens, enzyme production and penetration mechanisms of the fungi in the target hosts helping the comprehension about Among the microorganisms used in biological control, the muscadine fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.)…”
