Seventeen isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin and two isolates of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin were evaluated for their pathogenicity against the tobacco spider mite, Tetranychus evansi Baker & Pritchard. In the laboratory all the fungal isolates were pathogenic to the adult female mites, causing mortality between 22.1 and 82.6%. Isolates causing more than 70% mortality were subjected to dose–response mortality bioassays. The lethal concentration causing 50% mortality (LC50) values ranged between 0.7×107 and 2.5×107 conidia ml−1. The lethal time to 50% mortality (LT50) values of the most active isolates of B. bassiana and M. anisopliae strains varied between 4.6 and 5.8 days. Potted tomato plants were artificially infested with T. evansi and treated with B. bassiana isolate GPK and M. anisopliae isolate ICIPE78. Both fungal isolates reduced the population density of mites as compared to untreated controls. However, conidia formulated in oil outperformed the ones formulated in water. This study demonstrates the prospects of pathogenic fungi for the management of T. evansi. 相似文献

Twenty-three isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sokorin and three isolates of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin (Ascomycota: Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) were assessed for their virulence against the two-spotted
spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). Based on the screening results, nine isolates of M. anisopliae and two isolates of B. bassiana were tested for their virulence against young adult (1- to 2-day-old) female T. urticae at constant temperatures of 20, 25, 30 and 35°C. At all temperatures tested, all the fungal isolates were pathogenic to T. urticae but mortality varied with isolates and temperatures. Fungal isolates were more virulent at 25, 30 and 35°C than at 20°C.
The lethal time to 50% mortality (LT50) and lethal time to 90% mortality (LT90) values decreased with increased temperature. There were no significant differences in virulence between fungal isolates
at 30 and 35°C; however, significant differences were observed at 20 and 25°C. 相似文献

Pathogenicity of hyphomycetous fungi against <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cyclocephala signaticollis</Emphasis> 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Susceptibility of the white grub Cyclocephala signaticollis Burmeister (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) larvae to seven isolates of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, five of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin and two of Paecilomyces lilacinus (Thom) Samson (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes) was investigated. Among 14 fungal isolates screened the most virulent was a B. bassiana isolate (Bb 53) that caused 70% mortality of third instar larvae in 40 days after inoculation at 1 × 108 conida/ml. Strains of M. anisopliae and P. lilacinus showed low efficacy or no virulence to the target host. 相似文献

The pupae of Spodoptera litura (Fab.), (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), a polyphagous pest affecting common crops in Indian subcontinent, were treated with different
concentrations of conidia of four isolates of entomopathogenic fungi belonging to three species, Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae (Metschnikov) Sorokin (ARSEF 7487), Lecanicillium muscarium (Petch) Zare & W Gams (two isolates ARSEF 7037 and ARSEF 6118) and Cordyceps cardinalis Sung & Spatafora (ARSEF 7193) under laboratory conditions. Suspensions (108/ml) of conidia harvested from Sabouraud dextrose agar yeast extract (SDAY) plates resulted in the highest mortality (85.8%)
with M. anisopliae and the lowest mortality (57.3%) with C. cardinalis. The values of LC50 and LC90 suggested that M. anisopliae was the most virulent fungal strain followed by L. muscarium (ARSEF 7037). However, C. cardinalis was the least virulent species among the fungi used in the bioassay. In soil bioassays, drenching the soil with conidial
suspensions of ARSEF 7487 and ARSEF 7037 (108 conidia/g of soil) reduced the adult emergence from pupa by 81.3% and 72.5%, respectively, while premixing the sterile soil
with conidia killed lesser number of pupae (62.9% by ARSEF 7487 and 54.6% by ARSEF 7037). Our findings suggest that M. anisopliae (ARSEF 7487) and L. muscarium (ARSEF 7037) are potent entomopathogens and could be developed into biocontrol agents against rice cutworm in IPM programs.

In the first part of this study, four isolates of the fungus Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuillemin (LPP1, LPP2, CG05 and CG24) and one isolate of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorokin (CG46) were tested against adult foragers of Atta sexdens rubropilosa. Ants were allowed to walk on filter paper discs, inside Petri dishes, previously impregnated with 1 ml of a conidia suspension
(2 × 107 conidia ml−1), maintained at 80% RH and 26°C for 24 h and subsequently, transferred to sterile Petri dishes, maintained at 23°C, 80% RH,
24 h dark. The mean values of LT50 for LPP2, LPP1, CG46, CG24 and CG05 were 3.5, 3.7, 3.8, 4.2 and 4.4 days, respectively. Control insects for all tests in
this study showed less than 10% mortality. Experiments were carried out to test the toxicity of imidacloprid (IMI) to A. sexdens rubropilosa. Mortality was evaluated 10 days following a 24 h exposure to the insecticide. Percent mortality caused by 500, 200, 100
and 10 ppm IMI was 77.8, 56.7, 45.5 and 5.5 respectively. Insects treated with 10 ppm IMI were observed to have reduced locomotor
activity 24 h after exposure to the insecticide. The LC50 of IMI was 154.3 ppm. Subsequent tests were carried out to evaluate the combination of a sub-lethal dose of IMI (10 ppm)
and infection by CG24 (1 × 107 conidia ml−1). Mortality due to fungal infection alone was 43.3%. Mortality of insects treated with IMI followed by exposure to the fungus
was 64.3%. These results indicate that IMI significantly increases the susceptibility of ants to infection by B. bassiana CG24. 相似文献

Twenty isolates of four species of entomopathogenic hypocrealean fungi (Beauveria bassiana, Beauveria brongniartii, Isaria farinosa, and Metarhizium anisopliae) were found to be pathogenic to adults of the Asian longhorned beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis. Survival times for 50% of the beetles tested (ST50) ranged from 5.0 (M. anisopliae ARSEF 7234 and B. brongniartii ARSEF 6827) to 24.5 (I. farinosa ARSEF 8411) days. Screening studies initially included strains of B. brongniartii, which is registered as a microbial control agent in Europe, Asia and South America but not in North America. At that time,
we could not confirm that this fungal species is native to North America which added uncertainty regarding future registration
of this species for pest control in the USA. Therefore, subsequent bioassays documented median survival times for three M. anisopliae isolates (5–6 days to death) and two of these isolates are suggested for further development because they are already registered
for pest control in the USA.

The cherry slugworm Caliroa cerasi is a significant destructive pest of sour cherries (Prunus cerasus) in Turkey. The potential of entomopathogenic fungi for controlling C. cerasi was evaluated. The effects of exposure methods and conidial concentrations (1 × 106, 1.5 × 106, 1 × 107 and 1.5 × 107 conidia/ml) on mature larvae of C. cerasi infected by Beauveria bassiana were investigated under laboratory conditions. Larvae sprayed directly with B. bassiana conidial suspensions and larvae exposed to B. bassiana-treated leaves resulted in 100% mortality within 2.90 and 2.77 days, respectively. The median lethal time (LT50) and days to mortality were highest in the 1.0 × 107 concentrations of conidia for both direct spray and leaf exposure. The present study suggests that B. bassiana has good potential for control of the cherry slugworm, C. cerasi. 相似文献

A genetic variant of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium
anisopliae var. anisopliae, isolated from a soil in Alberta, Canada, from a location with a history of severe grasshopper infestations, was evaluated
for pathogenicity in bioassays of living grasshoppers. Mortality in treated individuals drawn from a laboratory colony was
99% (LT50 = 6.7 days, LT90 = 9.6 days) at 12 days post-inoculation compared to 100% (LT50 = 4.1 days, LT90 = 5.8 days) mortality at 8 days in insects exposed to a commercial isolate of M. anisopliae var. acridum (IMI 330189). Experimental infection of field-collected grasshoppers under laboratory conditions with the native isolate
of M. anisopliae var. anisopliae resulted in 100% (LT50 = 4.4 days, LT90 = 5.4 days) mortality attained within 7 days compared to 100% (LT50 = 4.7 days, LT90 = 6.3 days) mortality in 9 days in insects treated with M. anisopliae var. acridum. Amplification of fungal genomic DNA from the indigenous isolate with primers for the specific detection of M. anisopliae var. anisopliae produced a product almost 300 bp larger than expected based on previously known isolates. This is the first demonstration
of a highly virulent, indigenous non-chemical control agent of grasshoppers in North America.

Two isolates of Beauveria bassiana, wild type (wt) and its mutant type (mt) were compared in terms of growth patterns on culture plates containing media based on wheat bran, grasshopper exoskeletons,
colloidal chitin or Sabouraud-dextrose agar (SDA). Germination for the mt isolate was up to 33% faster in all media. Influence of media on virulence was determined against larvae and adults of Tenebrio molitor. Mortality higher than 90% was reached for adults after 6 days using conidia from all media. For larvae, a mortality of 80%
was reached after 11 days with conidia collected from SDA medium and between 15 and 35% with conidia from other media. In
SDA medium, conidial yield was almost ten times higher for the mt isolate compared to the wt isolate; however, virulence traits were similar against either larvae or adults. These results may influence commercial preparations
of entomopathogenic fungi based on conidia. 相似文献

Termites, Coptotermes formosanus, reared individually, were highly susceptible to the entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae, while termites reared in␣groups were highly resistant. When reared in groups, the termites treated with M.␣anisopliae conidia on the body surface were groomed by their nestmates and more than 80% of the conidia were removed from the cuticle
within 3 h. However, there was not a significant reduction in the numbers of conidia on the body surfaces of termites reared
individually. For the termites maintained in groups, conidia were found in foreguts, midguts and hindguts, but very few conidia
were detected in the guts of termites reared individually. Conidia in the alimentary tracts did not germinate, but some of
were alive. As a result, it seems that the removal of foreign bodies, such as fungal conidia, from the␣cuticle is one function
of termite mutual grooming behavior and that conidia removed from the cuticle are eliminated through alimentary tracts. This
study indicates that mutual grooming behavior is very effective in protecting these termites from M.␣anisopliae infection. 相似文献

Effectiveness of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae, for controlling nymphal Ixodes scapularis, was tested in laboratory and field trials. In the laboratory, M. anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin strain ESC1 was moderately pathogenic, with an LC50 of 107 spores/ml and induced 70% mortality at 109 spores/ml. In a field study, however, 109 spores/ml M. anisopliae did not effectively control questing I. scapularis nymphs, and significant differences were not detected in pre- and post-treatment densities. For nymphs collected and returned to the laboratory for observation, mortality was low in treatment groups, ranging from 20 to 36%. To assess whether a chemical acaricide would synergistically enhance pathogenicity of the fungus, we challenged unfed nymphal I. scapularis with combinations of M. anisopliae and permethrin, a relatively safe pyrethroid acaricide, in two separate bioassays. Significant interactions between M. anisopliae and permethrin were not observed, supporting neither synergism nor antagonism. 相似文献

A synchronous coinfection of the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) with the entomopathogenic bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. morrisoni Bonnifoi & de Barjak var. tenebrionis Krieg et al. and hyphomycete Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorokin or Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill leads to the rapid death of 95–100% of larvae. The bacteria arrest the nutrition of insects, while the fungal
spores kill the weakened larvae. The synergistic effect of two pathogens is recorded at a relatively low hyphomycete titer
(1–5 × 106 conidia/ml) and is evident in the mortality dynamics at all larval ages. These bacterial and fungal pathogens display no
antagonism on artificial nutrient media. This microbial complex is highly efficient under natural conditions (80–90% larval
mortality rate and no plant defoliation). 相似文献

We tested the pathogenicity of 18 Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschn.) Sorokin isolates and 22 Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin isolates against Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) larvae and adults. The efficacy of the most virulent isolate—M. anisopliae K—was evaluated in containers with a concrete bottom covered with wood shavings, under simulated poultry house conditions.
Application of conidia of this isolate to the shavings or directly to the concrete bottom reduced the yield of larvae in 8–15
time compared with the control. In another test, the mortality of mature larvae placed on previously inoculated shavings or
bottom reached 80–90% within 14 days, compared with 14% in the control. The residual activity of conidia kept at 28°C retained
its initial level during 14 days post-inoculation, but declined after three weeks. Based on our data M. anisopliae has considerable potential for the control of A. diaperinus.

We tested the combined effect of the fungus Beauveria bassiana and the microsporidium Nosema pyrausta on the European corn borer larvae, Ostrinia nubilalis, in the laboratory. The first instar of O. nubilalis larvae was the most sensitive to the B. bassiana infection followed by the fifth, second, third, and fourth instar (LC50s were 4.91, 6.67, 7.13, 9.15, and 6.51 × 105 conidia/ml for the first to fifth instars, respectively). Mortality of each instar increases positively with concentration
of conidia. When B. bassiana and N. pyrausta were used in combination, mortality increased significantly in all instars. Relative to the B. bassiana treatment alone, the B. bassiana + N. pyrausta treatment decreased the LC50s by 42.16%, 37.63%, 21.60%, 27.11%, and 33.95% for the first to fifth instars, respectively. The combined effects of the
two pathogens were mostly additive. However, at the two highest concentrations the pathogens interacted synergistically in
the first and second instar. Individuals that survived the B. bassiana and B. bassiana + N. pyrausta treatments and developed into adults had significantly shorter lifespans and females oviposited fewer eggs than non-exposed
insects. The effects on the longevity and the egg production were most pronounced at high concentration of B. bassiana conidia. 相似文献

A survey for natural entomopathogenic fungi of the Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans was conducted in five provinces of Argentina since 2001. Nymphs (1.5%) and adults (3.3%) infected with a strain of the fungus Beauveria bassiana were found at Dean Funes, Córdoba province, Argentina. Field collected insects that died in the laboratory were maintained in moist chambers and incubated at 22 °C. Beauveria bassiana from infected insects was cultured on SDAY media. Pathogenicity tests were conducted with a conidial suspension (1 × 107 conidia/ml) of this isolate on T. infestans adults. A mortality rate of 100% was obtained at 15 days post-infection. This is the first record of natural infection of T. infestans by B. bassiana. 相似文献

Rice and oat flours were analyzed as media for the production of conidia by M. anisopliae var. lepidiotum. The presence of peptone increased conidia yield regardless of the substrate used; however, the highest yield was achieved
on oat flour media. The effect of oxygen on conidia production using oat-peptone medium was also studied at two levels: Normal
atmosphere (21% O2) and Oxygen-rich pulses (26% O2). Maximum conidia production (4.25 × 107 conidia cm−2) was achieved using 26% O2 pulses after 156 h of culture, which was higher than 100% relative to conidial levels under normal atmosphere. Conidia yield
per gram of biomass was 2.6 times higher with 26% O2 (1.12 × 107 conidia mg−1). Conidia quality parameters, such as germination and hydrophobicity, did not show significant differences (P < 0.05) between those treatments. Bioassays parameters, using Tenebrio molitor adults, were analyzed for conidia obtained in both atmospheres and data were fitted to an exponential model. The specific
mortality rates were 2.22 and 1.26 days−1, whereas lethal times for 50% mortality were 3.90 and 4.31 days, for 26% O2 pulses and 21% O2 atmosphere, respectively. These results are relevant for production processes since an oxygen increase allowed superior levels
of conidia by M. anisopliae without altering quality parameters and virulence toward Tenebrio molitor adults. 相似文献

Tetranychus evansi Baker and Pritchard and Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) are important pests of Solanaceae in many countries. Several studies have demonstrated that T. urticae is an acceptable prey to many predatory mites, although the suitability of this prey depends on the host plant. T. evansi, has been shown to be an unfavorable prey to most predatory mites that have been tested against it. The predator Phytoseiulus fragariae Denmark and Schicha (Acari: Phytoseiidae) has been found in association with the two species in Brazil. The objective of
this work was to compare biological parameters of P. fragariae on T. evansi and on T. urticae as prey. The study was conducted under laboratory conditions at 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30°C. At all temperatures, survivorship
was lower on T. evansi than on T. urticae. No predator reached adulthood at 10°C on the former species; even on the latter species, only about 36% of the predators
reached adulthood at 10°C. For both prey, in general, duration of each life stage was shorter, total fecundity was lower and
intrinsic rate of population increase (r
m
) was higher with increasing temperatures. The slower rate of development of P. fragariae on T. evansi resulted in a slightly higher thermal requirement (103.9 degree-days) on that prey than on T. urticae (97.1 degree-days). The values of net reproduction rate (R
0), intrinsic rate of increase (r
m
) and finite rate of increase (λ) were significantly higher on T. urticae, indicating faster population increase of the predator on this prey species. The highest value of r
m
of the predator was 0.154 and 0.337 female per female per day on T. evansi and on T. urticae, respectively. The results suggested that P. fragariae cannot be considered a good predator of T. evansi. 相似文献

The cypress aphid (Cinara cupressi) is listed among the hundred most important invasive pests in the world. In Chile, it was first detected in 2003 and currently is present throughout the country. In the course of a survey of their natural enemies in Chile, three strains of entomopathogenic fungi were isolated. The isolates were identified and tested against the aphid in laboratory experiments. Two further entomopathogenic fungi (ARSEF 5126 and 5128), formulated in the mycoinsecticides Vertalec® and Mycotal®, were used as reference strains. The three Chilean isolates were identified genomically as Lecanicillium attenuatum and were pathogenic to third-instar nymphs. The isolate ARSEF 13279 yielded the lowest overall lethal concentration (LC50), 3 × 105 conidia ml?1 at four days post-inoculation, and the shortest lethal time (LT50), 3.7 days after inoculation with 106 conidia ml?1. The results indicate that the isolates have considerable potential as microbial control agents of the invasive cypress aphid. 相似文献

The insecticidal activity of Beauveria bassiana GHA derived from a commercial mycoinsecticide BotaniGard ES against Frankliniella occidentalis was determined in a bioassay by dipping the female adults into a conidial suspension. The 90% lethal concentration of B. bassiana GHA was estimated to be 9.7 × 106 conidia/ml. The lethal times for achieving 90% mortality of thrips inoculated with a 1/500-diluted solution of BotaniGard
ES and a 107.5 (3.16 × 107) conidia/ml suspension of B. bassiana GHA were estimated to be five and six days, respectively. When the treated thrips were exposed to a high relative humidity
(RH) of over 99% for various periods and then transferred to 60% RH, the requisite lengths of the high-humidity period to
achieve 90% mortality of the thrips at six days after inoculation were estimated to be 46 and 47 h in BotaniGard ES and B. bassiana GHA, respectively. Fungal multiplication in the thrips was detected between 48 to 60 h after inoculation by measuring Beauveria-specific DNA in the host following inoculation with a B. bassiana GHA suspension of 107.5 conidia/ml using a real-time quantitative PCR. The mycelial growth in the host hemocoel was not influenced by the low-humidity
condition. 相似文献

A set of six specific primers was designed by targeting intergenic spacer region (IGS) sequences. With Bst DNA polymerase, the products could be clearly amplified for 60 min at 62°C in a simple water bath. The sensitivity of the
loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for detecting Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae was about 0.01 pg fungal DNA per reaction (equivalent to 27 conidia). LAMP products could be judged with agar gel or naked
eye after addition of SYBR Green I. There were no cross reactions with other fungal isolates indicating high specificity of
the LAMP. The LAMP could detect the presence of M. anisopliae var. anisopliae from soil. The detection limits for M. anisopliae var. anisopliae of LAMP reaction was 50 conidia per reaction in soil. 相似文献
