Entomopathogenic fungi and insect behaviour: from unsuspecting hosts to targeted vectors (2010, methodology): “Kreutz et al. (2004) found that a lethal dose of B. bassiana could be transmitted from a single contact between treated male and untreated female adult spruce bark beetles, Ips typographus (L.), resulting in a 75% mortality rate when there was a 1:20 ratio of treated and untreated beetles.”
Review on safety of the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and Beauveria brongniartii (2007, background): “Insects may function as a mechanical carrier or vector for B. bassiana , e.g. in order to transmit the fungus from a contamination device into the pest population (for references see Kreutz et al. 2004).”
Horizontal transmission of Metarhizium anisopliae among laboratory populations of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) (2008, background): “, 1996) and from mycosed cadavers to healthy individuals of some scolytids (Kreutz et al., 2004).”
Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future. (2015, methodology): “Autoinoculative devices were also successfully used to introduce B. bassiana 1504 into a population of spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus (Kreutz et al., 2004).”
