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

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)

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

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.
