“…Diet variations have similarly been tested for rearing a member of the E. fornicatus species complex (Sivapalan & Shivanandarajah, ), showing that cellulose powder, salt mixture and yeast extract were important for members of this group. Similar diets have also been developed for other species of ambrosia beetles (Mizuno & Kajimura, , ; Peer & Taborsky, ; Castrillo et al ., ; Maner et al ., ). Based on a diet for rearing Xylosandrus germanus (Blandford) (Peer & Taborsky, ; Castrillo et al ., ), the diets in the present study were developed using the host tree species from which our beetles were captured, and a mass rearing protocol was successfully established.…”

“…The protocol for handling beetles was as described previously by Castrillo et al . (). To allow air exchange in diet tubes but prevent escapes, a hole was drilled into the lid of each diet tube (diameter 4 mm) and a fine stainless steel mesh (200 × 200, 33.6% open area) was secured over the hole using a hot glue gun.…”

“…Biological control using entomopathogenic fungi has been successful for managing bark beetle pests of economic importance worldwide and could also play a relevant role in the management of ambrosia beetles in avocados, as well [12,13,14,15,16]. Carrillo et al [15] found that the fungal product BotaniGard ® ES containing the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) had the highest efficacy and percentage mycosis compared to other fungal products tested against the red bay ambrosia beetle, Xyleborus glabratus Eichhoff, under laboratory conditions.…”

“…This result agrees with the informed by . Some studies suggest that control of Curculionidae insect pests should be focused on egg and larval stages, since the action of the entomopathogen would be faster than when applied on adults (Gindin et al, 2006); on the other hand, applications on female adults, as in Xylosandrus germanus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), would have the advantage of an effect on the next generation, resulting on smaller individuals that acquire the entomopathogenic infection (Castrillo et al, 2011). …”
