Entomopathogenic fungi, such as Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana, have
been shown to be efficacious in killing mosquito larvae of different mosquito species. The …

Fungal isolates were screened against Aedes aegypti larvae. Exposure of larvae to conidial
suspensions resulted in 6–90% mortality. An inoculum persistence assay using one of the …

Background & objectives: Entomopathogenic fungi are being investigated for the biological
control of a range of mosquitoes. Metarhizium conidiospores (conidia) effectively kill Aedes …

Entomopathogenic fungi are promising as an environmentally benign alternative to chemical
pesticides for mosquito control. The current study investigated the virulence of Metarhizium …

Biorational insecticides are being increasingly used in integrated pest management
programs. In laboratory bioassays, the pathogenicity of blastospores and conidia of the …

Abstract Background The entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria
bassiana have demonstrated effectiveness against anopheline larvae in the laboratory …

The entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae has demonstrated its efficiency against
mosquito species in the laboratory. The virulence of Metarhizium anisopliae was tested …

Background The use of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) for the control of adult mosquitoes is
a promising alternative to synthetic insecticides. Previous studies have only evaluated …

This study describes a laboratory investigation on the use of the insect-pathogenic fungus
Metarhizium anisopliae against adult Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquitoes. At a …

Increasing needs for innovative control tools against the dengue vector Aedes aegypti have
prompted investigations into the development of specific mycoinsecticides. The …
