Electrophoretic analyses of hemolymph and body or ovary homogenates from reproducing females, males, and 5th instar nymphs of the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens Stal, revealed a protein band of 175 kDa in females. An immunoblot test using antibody against this protein showed a positive reaction with a 175 kDa protein from female body or ovary homogenates. It is likely that this protein in hemolymph is vitellogenin (Vg). Distribution of Vg was determined by immunofluorescence and immunogold labeling techniques. The results showed that the positive immunofluorescence reactions were present in yolk particles, the intercellular space of follicle cells, hemolymph, and the epithelial plug of ovarioles. In addition, the yeast-like symbiotes (YLS) in mycetocytes of adults and various nymphal instars as well as those free in hemolymph or entering oocytes also exhibited a positive reaction. Electron micrographs showed that immunogold particles were found most in yolk mass and YLS over other tissues. Especially the YLS in various developmental stages all contained immunogold particles, implying that the symbiote is somewhat related with production of the female-specific protein. 相似文献

This paper presents results on isolates of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana for Alphitobius diaperinus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) control. Of the 30 isolates tested, four (CG 71, CG 152, UNIOESTE 4, and UNIOESTE 40) resulted in mortality rates >or= 40% within 10 days. These mortality rates could be considered high because of the resistance of these species to B. bassiana. Tests were conducted using these isolates to estimate LC(50), mortality rate over time, vegetative growth, and conidial production on artificial medium and on insects. Isolates CG 71, CG 152, and UNIOESTE 4 showed the best performance and great potential to be used in an integrated management program in poultry farms to control A. diaperinus. Also, the molecular profiles of 12 isolates were analyzed using the RAPD technique. The high-virulence isolates presented a more homogeneous RAPD pattern than the others. Genetic sequencing of the ITS region was performed for one of the virulent isolates (UNIOESTE 4) and compared with sequences deposited at the NCBI database, confirming its taxonomical position as belonging to B. bassiana Clade A. 相似文献

Three different germination types of conidia; unidirectional, bidirectional and multidirectional, were revealed through microscopic observations for eight Beauveria bassiana isolates germinated on Sabouraud dextrose agar. Canonical correlation analysis indicated that there is a positive correlation between unidirectional germination and virulence against diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella and the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata. Scanning electron microscopy revealed different in vivo behaviors for unipolar- and bipolar-germinated conidia. Unipolar-germinated conidia produced a strong germ tube with mostly appressorium-like structures while bipolar-germinated conidia continued to invasive hyphal growth without any penetration, indicating that germination polarity in one way or another may be an indicator of pathogenic ability. 相似文献

The exotic multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis, became established and recently spread across much of North America and southern Canada. In a habitat now used by both the invading H. axyridis and a native lady beetle, Olla v-nigrum, we discovered that the native lady beetle was commonly infected by Beauveria bassiana; whereas, the exotic H. axyridis, was not. Laboratory assays revealed that B. bassiana isolates collected from naturally infected O. v-nigrum were pathogenic to adult O. v-nigrum but not to adult H. axyridis. In contrast, the GHA strain of B. bassiana was not significantly pathogenic to O. v-nigrum nor H. axyridis. Late-season field collections revealed significantly higher B. bassiana infection of O. v-nigrum than H. axyridis. Our results lead us to hypothesize that low susceptibility of H. axyridis to B. bassiana (found to infect O. v-nigrum) may provide an intraguild advantage to H. axyridis over O. v-nigrum; this may also occur with other species of native lady beetles and other endemic entomopathogens in different habitats and regions. 相似文献

Selected morphological and physiological characteristics of four Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin isolates and one Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin isolate, which are highly pathogenic to Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) (Hemiptera: Miridae), were determined. There were significant differences in conidial size, viability, spore production, speed of germination, relative hyphal growth, and temperature sensitivity. Spore viability after incubation for 24h at 20 degrees C ranged from 91.4 to 98.6% for the five isolates tested. Spore production on quarter-strength Sabouraud dextrose agar plus 0.25% (w/v) yeast extract after 10 days incubation at 20 degrees C ranged from 1.6x10(6) to 15.5x10(6)conidia/cm(2). One B. bassiana isolate (ARSEF 1394) produced significantly more conidia than the others. Spore germination was temperature-dependant for both B. bassiana and M. anisopliae. The time required for 50% germination (TG(50)) ranged from 25.0 to 30.9, 14.0 to 16.6, and 14.8 to 18.0h at 15, 22, and 28 degrees C, respectively. Only the M. anisopliae isolate (ARSEF 3540) had significant spore germination at 35 degrees C with a TG(50) of 11.8h. A destructive sampling method was used to measure the relative hyphal growth rate among isolates. Exposure to high temperature (40-50 degrees C) for 10min had a negative effect on conidial viability. The importance of these characteristics in selecting fungal isolates for management of L. lineolaris is discussed. 相似文献

Two distinct spherical virus-like particles were purified from the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens. One was a geographical isolate of Himetobi P virus (Cripavirus, Dicistroviridae). The other was 30 nm in diameter and contained positive-stranded RNA. The RNA was 1647 nucleotides in length and encoded only its own capsid protein, indicating that this particle is a satellite virus. Transmission tests showed that the satellite was transmitted vertically; however, its helper virus was unknown. We named this satellite Nilaparvata lugens commensal X virus (NLCXV). 相似文献

In this study, interactions between Cry1Ac, a toxic crystal protein produced by Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner), and Beauveria bassiana on the mortality and survival of Ostrinia furnacalis was evaluated in the laboratory. The results showed that Cry1Ac is toxic to O. furnacalis. Not only were larval growth and development delayed, but pupation, pupal weight and adult emergency also decreased when larvae were fed on artificial diet containing purified Cry1Ac toxin. When third instars O. furnacalis were exposed to combination of B. bassiana (1.8 × 105, 1.8 × 106 or 1.8 × 107 conidia ml−1) and Cry1Ac, (0.2 or 0.8 μg g−1), the effect on mortality was additive, however, the combinations of sublethal concentrations showed antagonism between Cry1Ac (3.2 or 13 μg g−1) and B. bassiana (1.8 × 105 or 1.8 × 106 conidia ml−1). When neonates were reared on sublethal concentrations of Cry1AC until the third instar, and survivors exposed B. bassiana conidial suspension, such treatments showed additive effect on mortality of O. furnacalis except for the combination of Cry1Ac (0.2 μg g−1) and B. bassiana (1.8 × 106 conidia ml−1) that showed antagonism. 相似文献

The effects of exposure methods, conidial concentrations, and temperature on mortality, mycosis and sporulation in second instar Chilo partellus cadavers infected by Beauveria bassiana was investigated in laboratory studies. Larvae directly sprayed with conidia, exposed to conidia-treated leaves, and dipped into conidial suspension resulted in high mortality (98-100%). The longest LT50 (3.5 days) and days to mortality (2.6 days) were observed in the treated-leaves exposure method. The shortest LT50 (1 day) and days to mortality (1 day) were recorded for the dipping method. With increasing conidial concentrations, there were decreasing LT50 and days to mortality. Larvae exposed to treated leaves and larvae directly sprayed with conidial suspensions produced high mycoses in cadavers. Exposure of larvae to treated-leaves resulted in high sporulation. At lower concentrations of conidia, both mycosis and sporulation in cadavers were high. The optimum temperature for mycosis was 20 and 15 degrees C for sporulation. 相似文献

Sporulation characteristics and virulence of Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana were examined in relation to laboratory transmission in Coptotermes formosanus. Fungal isolates significantly affected disease prevalence in termite populations. Sporulation of M. anisopliae played a more important role than virulence in producing epizootics within small groups of termites, but this was not the case for B. bassiana. Isolates characterized by quick sporulation (day 2 after death) did not exhibit better transmission in termites than those with high total sporulation (day 11 after death) in either fungal species. An isolate of M. anisopliae ranking highly in all three categories (virulence, quick sporulation, and total sporulation) produced better epizootics than an isolate that was inferior in all three characteristics. High temperatures (35 degrees C) significantly reduced fungal germination rates, leading to significant reduction of epizootics. M. anisopliae was better than B. bassiana in producing epizootics at 27 degrees C. Thus, fungal characteristics other than virulence should be considered for the seasonal colonization approach to termite microbial control. 相似文献

Three unsprayed coffee farms (farm 1, 2 and 3) were studied for the natural occurrence of the insect pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana in Hypothenemus hampei populations throughout the rainy season of 2004 (July-November) and 2005 (July-December). B. bassiana infections were found during most sampling dates in both years, on all three farms. The B. bassiana infection levels were higher in 2005 than in 2004 with mean prevalence of 12.1% and 2.7%, respectively. No consistent significant differences in infection level between farms were found in any of the years. B. bassiana infection levels fluctuated widely throughout the season, and peaked at 13.5% on farm 3 in 2004 and at 44.0% on farm 1 in 2005. The H. hampei population was significantly higher in 2004 than in 2005, with 6.9% of the berries infested in 2004 and only 0.7% in 2005. In both years, the H. hampei infestation level was significantly higher on farm 2. No consistent significant differences in H. hampei infestation levels were found between sampling dates on any of the farms. H. hampei infestation levels fluctuated throughout both seasons, and peaked at 15.3% on farm 2 in 2004 and 2.2% on farm 2 in 2005. No consistent density dependent correlation between H. hampei infestation level and B. bassiana infection level was found. Correlations between climatic conditions and B. bassiana or H. hampei were not found. 相似文献

Impact of moisture and UV degradation on Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin conidial viability in turfgrass 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Beauveria bassiana conidial viability in turfgrass was evaluated using a two-component nucleic acid stain and fluorescence microscopy. Turfgrass samples along with the top 5 cm of soil were used for conidial extraction and viability evaluation on 1, 2, 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after treatment. There were no differences in conidial viability between two Orthoptera strains, 3622 and 5977, and both strains were able to persist in a sandy loam soil for up to three weeks after application. High and low irrigation levels were applied to each of the two strains and results show that higher irrigation (5.1 cm/week) maintains conidial viability better than a low irrigation level (2.5 cm/week). Mean conidial viability was approximately 8–12% greater in plots with the high irrigation regime. Rather than significantly increase soil moisture levels, it is hypothesized that the greater amount of irrigation helps to move the conidia deeper into the thatch layer and soil profile, an area that provides protection from damaging surface temperatures and UV exposure. Rainfall that occurred during the beginning of the 2005 test minimized the irrigation effect, and the irrigation treatment differences were more pronounced after 48 h. Four different UV protectants were evaluated for an impact on conidial viability of strain 3622. Two protectants, an optical brightener and magnesium silicate clay, when added to an emulsifiable oil formulation, significantly increased conidial viability on all evaluation dates. The clay particles act as a sunlight blocker while the optical brightener absorbs UV light. The combined protection from the oil and the additive increased conidial viability by approximately 10% on all evaluation dates. Results from this study provide insight into ways to increase entomopathogenic fungal viability under field conditions. 相似文献

The susceptibility of the tick Boophilus microplus to Beauveria bassiana was evaluated by inoculating eggs, larvae and engorged females of the tick with five fungal isolates at concentrations of 106, 107 and 108 conidia/ml. Tick eggs (0.25 g) were immersed in 1 ml of a suspension of the different conidial concentrations for 1 min. Similar exposure was performed by immersion of 2000 larvae and homogeneous groups of nine engorged females in 2 and 20 ml of conidial suspension, respectively. Treated eggs, larvae and adults were placed in an incubator at 27 ± 1 °C and relative humidity above 80% for evaluation of the fungal action. All fungal isolates applied at all conidial concentrations reduced the hatching rate of larvae from treated eggs by 1.36–65.58% and increased the mortality rate of inoculated larvae by 0.8–70.49%. In the bioassay with engorged females, oviposition period was reduced by 9.69–47.80%, egg mass weight by 4.71–53.87%, estimated reproduction by 8.3–60.62%, egg production index by 5.03–54.20%, percent larval hatching by 0.27–13.96%, and the mortality rate of treated females was increased by 96.60–100%. The reduction of the estimated reproduction obtained for the treated groups ranged from 8.37 to 64.52%. The sporulation of the pathogen on dead females ranged from 3.70 to 88.88% depending on the isolate and concentration used. Isolates AM 09, CB 7 and JAB 07 were the most effective and effectiveness increased with increasing concentrations of conidia in the suspensions. 相似文献

Laboratory bioassays were conducted to determine host plant effect on pathogenicity of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuill. (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) to the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae). Fourth instar B. tabaci reared on cucumber, tomato, melon, green pepper, potato, eggplant, marrow, cabbage, bean or cotton, were treated with 1 × 107 conidia/ml B. bassiana EABb 93/14-Tp isolate. Mortality caused by B. bassiana significantly increased with time and it was significantly affected by the host plant on which the nymphs were reared. Mean mortality of nymphs 8 days after inoculation ranged between 52.3±7.3 for nymphs reared on cotton and 91.8±5.8 for nymphs reared on cucumber. Average survival times of nymphs treated with the fungal suspensions were also significantly influenced by the host plant, with a mean of 4.7±0.1 days for nymphs reared on cucumber, 6.6±0.2 days for cotton and 6.9±0.1 days for green pepper. The production of newly formed conidia was also affected by host plant and varied from 111000±8600 conidia/cadaver for nymphs reared on cotton to 597000±28000 conidia/cadaver for those reared on melon. 相似文献

Starvation of second instar Colorado potato beetle larvae for 24h immediately after treatment with Beauveria bassiana conidia increased susceptibility to the pathogen and subsequent sporulation of cadavers but decreased time to larval death. In feeding studies, B. bassiana-treatment had no effect on subsequent larval development, and mortality occurred 5-6 days after treatment. Twenty-four hours of starvation alone retarded subsequent larval development but did not affect mortality. Mortality of B. bassiana-treated starvation stressed larvae occurred 4-5 days after treatment. Both B. bassiana treatment and 24h starvation significantly reduced total foliage consumption and daily weight gains. On the day of treatment, B. bassiana had no effect on the efficiency with which food was converted to biomass (ECI). ECI was not affected by B. bassiana or starvation alone on the day following treatment but was significantly affected by a combination of both. When larvae were exposed to a range of limited food quantities, ECI decreased with decreasing food availability but only extreme stress (starvation for 24h) increased susceptibility to B. bassiana. Topical application of Dacryodes excelsa resin (an antifeedant) to potato leaves caused a concentration dependent reduction in foliage consumption and weight gain by second instar larvae but did not affect larval mortality. When larvae were exposed to a fixed concentration of B. bassiana and a range of antifeedant concentrations there were significant linear relationships between 24h larval weight gain and mortality and 24h larval weight gain and sporulation. The interaction between starvation stress and the susceptibility to B. bassiana infection is discussed and its possible implications in pest management considered. 相似文献

Second and third instar Chilo partellus larvae were infected with Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae (both at 1x10(8)conidia/ml) and daily consumption of maize leaves was measured. Infection by the fungi was associated with reduced mean daily food consumption. Reduction in food consumption became evident 3-4 days after treatment with the fungi for second instar larvae and 4-5 days for third instar larvae. Four conidial concentrations, 1x10(5), 1x10(6), 1x10(7), and 1x10(8)conidia/ml, were tested against second instar larvae. Food consumption dropped by 70-85% when the second instar larvae were treated with the fungi at 1x10(8)conidia/ml. Reduction in food consumption by C. partellus larvae infected with B. bassiana and M. anisopliae may offset the slow speed of kill of the fungi. The effect of artificial versus natural diets on mortality and mycoses of second instar larvae treated with the fungi at 1x10(8)conidia/ml was determined. Larvae provided with artificial diet suffered little mortality and mycoses than larvae provided with maize leaves. The LT(50) was longer for larvae provided with artificial diet. 相似文献

To conduct laboratory experiments aimed at quantifying secondary acquisition of fungal conidia by western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis), an efficient assay technique using Beauveria bassiana as the model fungus was developed. Various application protocols were tested and it was determined that the percent mortality did not vary among protocols. Peak mortality of second-instar nymphs, under constant exposure to conidia, occurred 5 days post-inoculation. Second-instar thrips that were exposed to conidia within 24 h of the molt to second instar were more susceptible to Beauveria bassiana than thrips exposed after times greater than 24 h post-molt. Conidia efficacy, which was monitored at 24 h intervals, did not differ significantly within 72 h. A test of the final bioassay system was conducted in a series of assays aimed at determining the LD50 of B. bassiana technical powder against second-instar western flower thrips. It was determined that B. bassiana (strain GHA) is highly effective at very low doses (LD50 of 33-66 conidia/insect). 相似文献

We determined host plant effect on susceptibility of whitefly Bemisia tabaci to the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana under controlled conditions. Insects were reared on cucumber, eggplant, tomato or cabbage. Fungal suspensions of 1×104, 105, 106, 107 and 108 conidia/mL were applied on second-instar nymphs. Nymphal survival significantly differed among different host plant species on which the nymphs were reared. Ten days after inoculation with 1×108 conidia/mL, percent survival was 4.2±0.7, 9.6±0.4, 13.4±0.8, and 24.3±0.9% on cucumber, eggplant, tomato and cabbage, respectively. Average survival times of nymphs were also significantly influenced by host plant species. After inoculation with 1×108 conidia/mL, survival times were 4.8±0.15, 6.0±0.11, 5.7±0.13, and 6.2±0.08 days for nymphs reared on cucumber, eggplant, tomato, and cabbage, respectively. Virulence also differed depending on host plant species; 10 days after inoculation, LC50 values were 4.6×104, 1.6×105, 4.2×105 and 2.1×106 conidia/mL on cucumber, eggplant, tomato and cabbage, respectively. Nymphs on cucumber showed highest susceptibility. 相似文献

We used a newly developed bioassay method to demonstrate for the first time the potential of the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae to be used for the control of neonate larvae of Capnodis tenebrionis, a major threat to stone-fruit orchards in several countries. Four B. bassiana and four M. anisopliae isolates were all pathogenic for neonate larvae of C. tenebrionis; mortality rates 10 days after inoculation by dipping in a suspension with 10(8)conidia/ml varied from 23.5% to 100%. Three of the four M. anisopliae isolates caused 100% mortality. In most cases, postmortem hyphal growth and sporulation of M. anisopliae or B. bassiana was observed covering the larvae in their galleries. The eight isolates were also evaluated for pathogenicity to C. tenebrionis eggs at the same dosage. Only two B. bassiana isolates caused significant egg hatching reduction of 84.5% and 94.5%. Our results indicate that M. anisopliae and B. bassiana may be considered as promising for a new approach to prevent larval infestations by C. tenebrionis. 相似文献
