“…Notably, the isolates originally sourced from field-sampled house flies M54, M92 and M93, were significantly less effective at killing flies at the dose tested than the two strains isolated from soil. This suggests a level of attenuation by the M. domestica host-isolated strains, though previous studies have demonstrated no relationship between the virulence potential of an isolate and its source [34,35]. This does, however, highlight the need to screen a variety of fungal isolates against target pests when considering the development of a mycoinsecticide.…”

The control of house flies, Musca domestica (L.), currently relies on the use of chemical insecticide spray and bait formulations. Entomopathogenic fungi, such as Metarhizium anisopliae, may provide an alternative to these products. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a mycoinsecticide bait formulation containing a virulent M. anisopliae isolate. Five M. anisopliae isolates were screened against M. domestica and isolate M16 was selected for bait development. Bait formulations containing a variety of additives, including (Z)-9-tricosene, were tested for their ability to increase fly visitation. A bait formulation containing M. anisopliae and skim milk powder was found to have the highest house fly visitation and was subsequently compared to a conventional chemical bait in an efficacy assay. The chemical bait (0.5% imidacloprid) caused faster mortality than the mycoinsecticide bait, however, similar levels of mortality were achieved by 4–5 days’ post exposure. These results suggest that M. anisopliae mycoinsecticide baits may offer an alternative to conventional chemical insecticides for the control of house flies in suitable areas.

“…However, although generalizations cannot be made, the cumulative effect is controlled by the weather, the active constituent of the insecticide, the chemical mode of action, and the M. anisopliae isolated to control M. fimbriolata (Dinardo-Miranda et al, 2004a;Loureiro et al, 2005). On other hand, the genetic constitution of the pest population (Quinelato et al, 2012), adaptations and mechanisms of insect resistance (Dubovskiy et al, 2013) may influence the efficiency of the control techniques.…”

The sampling of M. fimbriolata aims to estimate the population level and optimum timing for spittlebug control in the sugarcane fields. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the cost and efficiency of Metarhizium anisopliae (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) and insecticides utilized in M. fimbriolata control using two sampling techniques. The experiments were performed between November 2012 and April 2013, in a sugarcane field. In each experiment, apart from the control, treatments included Thiamethoxan (250 g ha ). In the first experiment, the M. fimbriolata nymphs and adults were monitored, while on the other experiment, the nymphs sampled were the small, medium, large, and the adults of M. fimbriolata with objective was to identify the timing of the application of treatments. In general, by monitoring the small, medium and large nymphs and the adult spittlebugs, the timing of the application was optimized, which increased the efficiency of M. fimbriolata control.

“…The efficacy of M. anisopliae in killing the nymphs and adults of many genus and species of ticks has been demonstrated in many studies for Rhipicephalus microplus , Rhipicephalus sanguineus , Haemaphysalis qinghaiensis , Hyalomma excavatum , and Ixodes ricinus [ 25 , 28 , 76 , 78 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 ]. Although studies have shown that the conidia of M. anisopliae reduced the percentage of egg production and hatchability, the precise mechanism of how M. anisopliae caused a decline in egg production and hatchability is still unknown [ 105 , 106 ].…”

Chemical insecticides have been commonly used to control agricultural pests, termites, and biological vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks. However, the harmful impacts of toxic chemical insecticides on the environment, the development of resistance in pests and vectors towards chemical insecticides, and public concern have driven extensive research for alternatives, especially biological control agents such as fungus and bacteria. In this review, the mode of infection of Metarhizium fungus on both terrestrial and aquatic insect larvae and how these interactions have been widely employed will be outlined. The potential uses of Metarhizium anisopliae and Metarhizium acridum biological control agents and molecular approaches to increase their virulence will be discussed.
