Isolation and efficacy of entomopathogenic fungus (Metarhizium anisopliae) for the control of Aedes albopictus Skuse larvae: suspected dengue vector in Pakistan

Effect of fungal isolates and imidacloprid on cabbage aphid Brevicoryne brassicae and its parasitoid Diaeretiella rapae

“…10 6 , 10 7 and 10 8 conidia ml -1 , against all aphid species, but the uppermost (10 8 conidia ml -1 ) concentration provided maximum control within a short period of time. Taking long time to kill 50% population by fungal isolates compared to synthetic insecticides is the only drawback for the application of entomopathogenic fungi, but these biopesticides are safe for use (Bilal et al, 2012). The fitness of the parasitoids that emerge from insecticide treated hosts is very important (Bayram et al, 2010; Saber, 2011).…”

Eradication of Mosquito Borne Diseases by Entomopathogenic Fungi

“…Metarhizium [11,[14][15][16][17][18][19] and Beauveria bassiana [15,20] at varying concentrations to check effect as a larvicide.…”

“…Conidial suspensions of concentration 10 8 conidia /ml were prepared in distilled water containing 0.01% Tween 80 and preserved by refrigeration at 4℃ until used in bioassay. [11] www.wjpr.net conidia/ml). Control treatments were carried out by addition of 10 ml of distilled water.…”

Ocurrence of Entomopathogenic Fungus from Flea <i>Ctenocephalides canis</i> (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae)

“…Eight days later, once the mycelia growth was completely developed on the flea's surface, it was subcultured on Agar Dextrose Sabouraud (Dextrose, Casein-peptone Meat), having Yeast Extract [12] [13] and 500 ppm chloramphenicol [14]. The culture was repeated until a pure culture, once the pure fungus were obtained, the entomopathogenic fungus were identified at the Parasitology and Biological Control laboratory of the University of Gua-najuato, using the [15] identification keys, by its macro morphologic aspects; like color, diameter and mycelia texture, while the optical microscope was used to identify the mycelia characteristics and conidial micromorphology [16].…”
