Ocorrência de Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorok. em adultos de cascudinho (Alphitobius diaperinus) (Panzer) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) em aviários comerciais em Cascavel, PR

Abstract: -Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer), the lesser mealworm, is the most important pest in large-scale poultry production and is capable of harboring several types of poultry pathogens. Chickens feed readily on the beetles in infested litter and this sometimes causes nutritional problems and the weight gain may be affected. Chemical insecticides are usually applied, however beetle infestation are very difficult to control using these products. Besides, this control method can also offer risks to chicken and man.

“…The multiplication of either naturally-occurring or applied fungi in dead insects allows their permanence in poultry houses and should be preserved . Therefore, when using disinfectants in poultry houses, care must be taken to preserve those populations (Steinkraus et al, 1991;Alves et al, 2004;.…”

“…The most common products are pyrethroid insecticides, which are continuously applied, with or without poultry litter (Santos et al, 2009). However, many natural enemies of the lesser mealworm are found in poultry houses, including predators and entomopathogenic fungi (Alves et al, 2004;Santoro et al, 2010). The potential of such fungi for lesser mealworm control was demonstrated both under laboratory and field conditions (Geden et al, 1998;Rohde et al, 2006, Chernaki et al, 2007.…”
