Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are often used for the detection of anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies in remote locations in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) with low or limited access to central laboratories. The typical format of an RDT is a lateral flow assay (LFA) with visual interpretation prone to subjectivity. This risk...

Simple Summary Agricultural crop systems have adopted integrated management as a model of success in pest control; however, chemical control is still prioritized. The use of pesticides incorrectly and excessively has provided a reduction in natural enemies, selection of resistant populations and resurgence of pests. Chrysoperla externa is a predato...

Three new Ophiocordyceps species with superficial perithecia on Lepidoptera larvae are described: O. campes, O. longistromata, and O. phuwiangensis. Ophiocordyceps longistromata is characterized by long stromata and is closely related to O. campes based on morphological characters and phylogenetic position. Ophiocordyceps phuwiangensis is distingui...

Simple Summary The European pepper moth is an important pest of many crops; however, some countries, such as Brazil, do not have insecticides registered for combating this pest. In particular, the egg stage of the biological cycle of this moth is the most difficult life stage to control. In this sense, biological control agents, including egg paras...

Pathogens
Fungi from the Hypocreales order synthesize a range of toxic non-ribosomal cyclic peptides with antimicrobial, insecticidal and cytotoxic activities. Entomopathogenic Beauveria , Isaria and Cordyceps as well as phytopathogenic Fusarium spp. are known producers of beauvericins (BEAs), beauvenniatins (BEAEs) or enniatins (ENNs). The compounds are syn...

The fungus Metarhizium anisopliae is a facultative insect pathogen used as biological control agent of several agricultural pests worldwide. It is a dimorphic fungus that is able to display two growth morphologies, a filamentous phase with formation of hyphae and a yeast-like phase with formation of single-celled blastospores. Blastospores play an ...

Thailand has rich natural resources and diverse ecosystems. From our surveys of entomopathogenic fungi in Thailand over the last decade, 66 Beauveria strains in BIOTEC Culture Collection (BCC) were studied to account for the diversity of this genus in Thailand. Examination of morphological characteristics from various media and phylogenetic analyse...

This paper documents six new saprobic marine fungi and one new genus based on morphology and multi-gene phylogenies. Three Dothideomycetes, and members of the Pleosporales, are introduced: Pseudomassariosphaeria triseptata sp. nov. was recognized as a mangrove species in Amniculicolaceae, and Salsuginea phoenicis sp. nov. was discovered as a second...

Ophiocordyceps dominicanus Poinar & Vega sp. nov. in Dominican amber and Polycephalomyces baltica Poinar & Vega sp. nov. (Hypocreales: Ophiocordycipitaceae) in Baltic amber are described as entomopathogenic fungi of bark lice (Psocoptera). The specimens possess several features unknown in extant synnematous entomopathogenic fungi such as a tubular ...

We determined how conidia of arthropod-pathogenic fungi on leaves affected the behavior of two predators-Orius majusculus (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) and Phytoseiulus persimilis (Acari: Phytoseiidae)-when offered a choice between preying on two-spotted spider mites, Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae), in the presence or absence of infective c...
