Sporulation Characteristics and Virulence of Metarhizium anisopliae Against Subterranean Termites (Coptotermes formosanus)
In the present study, four fungal isolates (Metarhizium anisopliae) were isolated and examined for their sporulation characteristics and virulence against Coptotermes formosanus. Initially fungal strains were isolated through insect bait (Galleria) method. The mortality was significantly varied between 2 to 4 days. nd th In in this study inspection, the mortality of termites was observed after ...
متن کاملOdor Aversion and Pathogen-Removal Efficiency in Grooming Behavior of the Termite Coptotermes formosanus
The results of biocontrol with entomopathogens in termites have been discouraging because of the strong social hygiene behavior for removing pathogens from termite colonies. However, the mechanism of pathogen detection is still unclear. For the successful application of biopesticides to termites in nature, it would be beneficial to identify substances that could disrupt the termite's ability to...
متن کاملMolting in workers of the Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus.
The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus, with its huge colonies, is a major urban pest in several southern states and Hawaii as well as in South Asia. Because of their cryptic nature (underground habitat) and very long life cycle, not much is known about molting in termite workers. In C. formosanus, the workers stop foraging and lose their gut fauna, respectively, approximatel...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Seven Termite Species (Isoptera) to the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium anisopliae
Seven termite species (Isoptera) from five families were tested for disease susceptibility against the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae using a standard protocol: Mastotermes darwiniensis (Mastotermitidae), Hodotermopsis sjoestedti (termopsidae), Hodotermes mossambicus (Hodotermitidae), Kalotermes flavicollis (Kalotermitidae), Reticulitermes flavipes and Prorhinotermes canalifrons...
متن کاملPreferences of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) among Three Commercial Wood Species
The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, and the Asian subterranean termite, Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann), are both pests of wood in service in Hawaii and Florida. We conducted a laboratory study using method modified from those described in standard E1-09 of the American Wood Protection Association (AWPA 2009) to assess the termite resistance of three commercially av...
