Journal ArticleDOI
The combination of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae with the insecticide Imidacloprid increases virulence against the dengue vector Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)
TL;DR: The study showed the potential of IMI as an alternative to the currently employed pyrethroid adulticides and suggested that adult A. aegypti could be controlled by surface application of entomopathogenic fungi and that the efficiency of these fungi could be increased by combining the fungi with ultra-low concentrations of insecticides, resulting in higher mortality following relatively short exposure times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Susceptibility of adult Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) to infection by Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana: prospects for Dengue vector control
Adriano Rodrigues de Paula,Eliane Souza Brito,César Ronald Pereira,Marinete Pinheiro Carrera,Richard Ian Samuels +4 more
TL;DR: Results show that entomopathogenic fungi could be promising biological control agents for use against adult Ae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neem oil increases the efficiency of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae for the control of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) larvae
Simone Azevedo Gomes,Adriano Rodrigues de Paula,Anderson Ribeiro,Catia O. P. Moraes,Jonathan W. A. B. Santos,Carlos P. Silva,Richard Ian Samuels +6 more
TL;DR: The addition of neem to conidial suspensions improved virulence, significantly reducing larval survival times and percentages and the use of adjuvants is an important strategy for maintaining/increasing fungal virulence and/or shelf-life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Susceptibility of adult female Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae is modified following blood feeding
TL;DR: Reduced susceptibility of A. aegypti to fungi following a blood meal is of concern and field testing of entomopathogenic fungi by this group should be carried out to better understand the insect-fungus interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring persistence of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae under simulated field conditions with the aim of controlling adult Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)
Aline Teixeira Carolino,Adriano Rodrigues de Paula,Carlos P. Silva,Tariq M. Butt,Richard Ian Samuels +4 more
TL;DR: The potential of entomopathogenic fungi for the control of adult A. aegypti was confirmed under field conditions and significantly increased the effectiveness of the fungus, thus reducing the need for frequent changes of black cloths in residences.
