Journal ArticleDOI
Pandora bullata (Entomophthoromycota: Entomophthorales) affecting calliphorid flies in central Brazil.
TL;DR: Epizootic events affecting calliphorids in Brazil strengthen the interest in entomophthoran pathogens for biological control of flies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simple method to detect and to isolate entomopathogenic fungi (Hypocreales) from mosquito larvae
Juscelino Rodrigues,Caroline Bergamini,Cristian Montalva,Cristian Montalva,Richard A. Humber,Richard A. Humber,Christian Luz +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the utility of a simple method to detect fungi on living larvae of Aedes aegypti that had been exposed to a fungal entomopathogen was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nuclear events during germination and appressorial formation of the entomopathogenic fungus Zoophthora radicans (Zygomycetes: Entomophthorales)
Bonifácio P. Magalhães,Raymond J. St. Leger,Richard A. Humber,L.L. Allee,Elson J. Shields,Donald W. Roberts +5 more
TL;DR: Conidial germination, appressorial formation, and secondary sporulation in Zoophthora radicans occurred independently of DNA replication and nuclear division but was totally inhibited by drugs blocking RNA or protein synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of Culicinomyces spp. against Aedes aegypti eggs, larvae and adults
TL;DR: C. clavisporus-especially ARSEF 644, 964 and 2479-is the first choice for control of A. aegypti and has high potential in control strategies targeting aquatic larvae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confirmation of Neozygites floridana azygospore formation in two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) in strains from tropical and temperate regions
Karin Westrum,Vanessa da Silveira Duarte,Richard A. Humber,Italo Delalibera,Ingeborg Klingen +4 more
TL;DR: The observations suggest that the immature resting spore (prespore) of both strains begins in a multinucleate condition but that the nuclear number is reduced during maturation until mature restingSpore is binucleate regardless of its origin as a zygospore or azygospore.
