Over the last two decades the molecular phylogeny and classification of Metarhizium has
been widely studied. Despite these efforts to understand this enigmatic genus, the basal …

This paper presents a study on scale-up and cost reduction of the production of spores of
Metarhizium anisopliae IBCB 425, entomopathogenic fungus used in sugarcane crops. Rice …

Two new fungal genera and six species occurring on insects in the orders Orthoptera and
Phasmatodea (superorder Orthopterida) were discovered that are distributed across three …

An entomopathogenic fungus was isolated from an infected larva of Conogethes
punctiferalis (Guenée)(Crambidae: Lepidoptera), a highly polyphagous pest recorded from …

The phylogenetic diversity of fungi isolated from the Odontotermes formosanus was

Understanding the abundance and diversity of fungal entomopathogens associated with
plant species is critical for improving their field efficacy as microbial insecticides …

Abstract The genus Metarhizium (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) is mostly composed of
entomopathogenic fungal species. Many of these species are anamorphic and difficult to …

Purpureocillium lilacinum is a free-living, multitrophic, cosmopolitan fungus. This study
estimated the genetic diversity of P. lilacinum and its geographic distribution pattern based …

Abstract Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) are agricultural pests for a wide range of
economically important crops worldwide. Entomopathogenic fungi have been studied and …

The use of Metarhizium anisopliae as a bioinsecticide is steeply increasing worldwide.
