oxygen-rich culture conditions enhance the conidial infectivity and the quality of two strains of isaria fumosorosea for potentially improved biocontrol processes.	in addition to high production levels of conidia, the success of entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents depends both on their prevalence under the environmental conditions found in open fields (resistance to stress) and on the capacity of these conidia to infect pests. this study compares conidium production, infectivity and resistance to thermal and osmotic stress in two strains of isaria fumosorosea (arsef 3302 and cnrcb1) grown either under a normal atmosphere (21% o2) or using e ...	2014	23847155
extracellular lipase of an entomopathogenic fungus effecting larvae of a scale insect.	lipases play an important role in the infection process of entomopathogenic fungi by hydrolyzing the ester bonds of lipoproteins, fats and waxes present on the insect surface and in the body. here we report the purification and characterization of an extracellular lipase from isaria fumosorosea. the enzyme was purified (138.46-fold) in three steps using (nh4 )2 so4 precipitation followed by deae-cellulose and sephadex g-100 column chromatography. the molecular weight of purified enzyme was deter ...	2014	24677050
prevalence of beauveria pseudobassiana among entomopathogenic fungi isolated from the hard tick, ixodes ricinus.	human and animal disease-transmitting hard ticks (acari: ixodidae) are of great concern for public health and animal farming. alternatives to tick control by chemical acaricides are urgently needed, and one intensively evaluated biocontrol strategy is based on the use of tick-pathogenic filamentous fungi. an indispensable prerequisite for the development of tick-derived fungal isolates into registered myco-acaricides is their sound taxonomic characterisation. a set of fungal strains isolated fro ...	2014	25065606
histopathological and molecular insights into the ovicidal activities of two entomopathogenic fungi against two-spotted spider mite.	entomopathogenic fungi can infect and kill spider mite eggs but their ovicidal activities are poorly understood. here we gain histopathogenical and molecular insights into the ovicidal activities of beauveria bassiana and isaria fumosorosea against the two-spotted spider mite, tetranychus urticae. scanning electronic microscopy indicated successful adhesion and germination of fungal conidia on egg shell at 24h post-spray (hps). germ tubes of both fungi could penetrate into egg shell with penetra ...	2014	24566192

reduced entomopathogen abundance in myrmica ant nests-testing a possible immunological benefit of myrmecophily using galleria mellonella as a model.	social insects such as ants have evolved collective rather than individual immune defence strategies against diseases and parasites at the level of their societies (colonies), known as social immunity. ants frequently host other arthropods, so-called myrmecophiles, in their nests. here, we tested the hypothesis that myrmecophily may partly arise from selection for exploiting the ants' social immunity. we used larvae of the wax moth galleria mellonella as 'model myrmecophiles' (baits) to test thi ...	2015	26587252

liquid culture fermentation for rapid production of desiccation tolerant blastospores of beauveria bassiana and isaria fumosorosea strains.	a major constraint to the commercial use of fungal biocontrol agents is the availability of low-cost production media and processes. previous attempts in producing beauveria blastospores using liquid culture fermentation processes required long fermentation times (6-8days) and produced cells that had poor survival after desiccation and storage. in this study, isolates of beauveria bassiana and isaria fumosorosea were evaluated for blastospore yield, desiccation tolerance, storage stability, and ...	2015	25497914
olfactory cues from pathogenic fungus affect the direction of motion of termites, coptotermes formosanus.	formosan subterranean termites, coptotermes formosanus, tend to avoid pathogen odors when tested in y-tube olfactometers, but approach and groom exposed nestmates to remove pathogens from their cuticle and maintain a healthy population. to better understand their differential reaction to pathogens and their odors, the relationship between odor cues and direction of motion was examined with the fungus isaria fumosorosea k3 strain. the results indicate that nestmate odor was strongly attractive on ...	2015	26563202

lack of resistance development in bemisia tabaci to isaria fumosorosea after multiple generations of selection.	the emergence of insecticide resistant insect pests is of significant concern worldwide. the whitefly, bemisia tabaci, is an important agricultural pest and has shown incredible resilience developing resistance to a number of chemical pesticides. entomopathogenic fungi such as isaria fumosorosea offer an attractive alternative to chemical pesticides for insect control, and this fungus has been shown to be an effective pathogen of b. tabaci. little is known concerning the potential for the develo ...	2017	28230074
antiparasitic drugs: in vitro tests against nematophagous fungi.	the use of biological agents has been intensified in recent years against eggs and larvae of gastrointestinal nematodes as an alternative control method in pasture plant health management, with the concomitant use with antiparasitic drugs still occurring. the aim of this study was to test the in vitro activity of the following antiparasitic drugs: ivermectin and albendazole against the following nematophagous fungi: paecilomyces fumosoroseus, paecilomyces lilacinus and paecilomyces variotii. the ...	2017	27224732
biosafety of an entomopathogenic fungus isaria fumosorosea in an acute dermal test in rabbits.	isaria fumosorosea (formerly paecilomyces fumosoroseus) is an entomopathogenic fungus that has been proposed as a low risk environmental alternative to the use of chemical insecticides to control agricultural pests and disease vectors. although there are some mycoinsecticides already being marketed in many countries, not all their biosafety protocols have been published. the acute dermal toxicity test in an animal model is one in a series of biosafety protocols that must be developed, in order t ...	2017	27055483
