Ectoparasitoids may change host metabolism, making the environment more favorable for
the development of their larvae. These alterations may also be suitable for growth and …

The evolutionary success of insects is arguably due to their ability to build up a complex,
highly-adaptable and very effective defense system against numerous pathogens, including …

Insects employ different defense strategies against fungal infections and chemicals. We
aimed to identify the lipid compositions of the fat body of Zophobas morio larvae before and …

Simple Summary To understand the mechanisms underlying the recognition of susceptible
hosts by entomopathogenic fungi, it is critical to decipher the role of their cuticular lipids. The …

Broad host range entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana attack insect hosts
via attachment to cuticular substrata and the production of enzymes for the degradation and …

Insect cuticular lipids, especially epicuticular hydrocarbons (CHC), have a significant role in
insect ecology and interactions with other organisms, including fungi. The CHC composition …

The interactions between entomopathogenic fungi and insects serve a classic example of a
co-evolutionary arms race between pathogens and their target host. The cuticle, site of the …

Gut bacteria influence the development of different pathologies caused by bacteria, fungi
and parasitoids in insects. Wax moth larvae became more susceptible to fungal infections …

In this paper we examined the conidial attachment ofMetarhizium anisopliaeon the southern
green stink bug, Nezara viridula, using the exuvia and nymphal stage of the host as a …

抄録 Free fatty acids (C: 8 to C: 20) were detected qualitatively and quantitatively from lipids
present on external surfaces of the silkworm (Bombyx mori) and the fall webworm …
