Journal ArticleDOI

M. Yousef,Carmen Alba-Ramírez,Inmaculada Garrido Jurado,Jordi Mateu,Silvia Raya Díaz,Pablo Valverde-García,Enrique Quesada-Moraga +6 more
TL;DR: Both the efficacy and environmental and food safety of this B. oleae control method, protecting olive groves and improving olive oil quality without negative effects on the natural enemy P. concolor are revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virulence, horizontal transmission, and sublethal reproductive effects of Metarhizium anisopliae (Anamorphic fungi) on the German cockroach (Blattodea: Blattellidae).
TL;DR: The results on virulence and horizontal transmission of fungal conidia of M. anisopliae EAMa 01/121-Su strain and its sublethal reproductive effects on German cockroach females are discussed in terms of its potential to decrease the pest status of B. germanica in the short and long terms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixed infections and insect–pathogen interactions
TL;DR: It is proposed that avirulent pathogens could play a significant role in host– pathogen dynamics, with implications for biological control and evolution of virulence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation, geographical diversity and insecticidal activity of Bacillus thuringiensis from soils in Spain.
TL;DR: Strain classification based on H-antigen agglutination showed a great diversity among the Spanish isolates, which were distributed among 24 subspecies, including three new ones andaluciensis, asturiensis and palmanyolensis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of a multiple logistic regression model to determine the effects of soil moisture and temperature on the virulence of entomopathogenic fungi against pre-imaginal Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata
TL;DR: This work provides additional evidence on the fact that for each fungal species, each isolate is an independent biological entity with different responses to environmental conditions; therefore, entomopathogenic fungal isolates for pest control should have a range of temperatures and humidities that can be matched to the desired environment.
