TLDR
The potential of granular formulations of Metarhizium to persist and kill a one-host tick whose larvae have a prolonged off-host stage is demonstrated.Abstract:
There is a critical need to develop effective, high-quality, fungal-based biopesticides for use against ticks. Dermacentor albipictus, the winter tick, is a one-host species that can cause mortalit...read more

A Review of Commercial Metarhizium- and Beauveria-Based Biopesticides for the Biological Control of Ticks in the USA
TL;DR: A comprehensive list of the use of commercialized Metarhizium and Beauveria-based biopesticides in the USA that have been tested against ixodid ticks under laboratory and field conditions and when used as a part of integrated tick management is compiled.

Evaluation of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum and the predatory mite Stratiolaelaps scimitus against Rhizoglyphus robini under laboratory conditions
Arash Ghalehgolabbehbahani,C.F. Sullivan,Agrin Davari,Bruce L. Parker,Ali Razavi,Margaret Skinner +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigate the in vitro effect of different predatory mite ratios of rhizoglyphus robini on R. robini mortality and the combined use of a M. brunneum-based granule with S. scimitus as potential strategies to manage this pest.

Mortality of various-age larval winter ticks, Dermacentor albipictus, following surface contact with entomopathogenic fungi.
TL;DR: The larval stage of the one-host tick, Dermacentor albipictus Packard (Acari: Ixodidae), the winter tick, is spent aggregated on the ground in summer until they quest for hosts in the autumn as mentioned in this paper .
