Isolation and characterization of entomopathogenic fungi from hazelnut-growing region of Turkey (2009, methodology): “For Metarhizium strains, the ITS gene regions of Metarhizium strains were compared with previously published sequences (Driver et al. 2000), and the EF1-a partial sequence of isolate coded as KTU-9 (morphologically described as Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae) was used to compare with…”
A review on the genus Metarhizium as an entomopathogenic microbial biocontrol agent with emphasis on its use and utility in Mexico (2018, unknown): “M. majus is the species with the largest conidia (8.5−14.5 × 2.5−2.0 µm) and M. acridum is the species with the smallest conidia (4.0−5.5 × 2.0−3.0 µm) (Bischoff et al., 2009; Driver et al., 2000).”
Insect-Fungal Associations: Ecology and Evolution (2005, methodology): “First, it is generally agreed that M. anisopliae is monophyletic based on phylogenetic analysis of ITS and 28S rDNA sequence data (Driver et al. 2000).”
Phylogenetic classification of Cordyceps and the clavicipitaceous fungi (2007, background): “In general, Metarhizium species show extensive variation in size and colour of conidia (Driver et al. 2000, Evans 2003) and more intensive sampling of anamorphs and teleomorphs is needed for this group.”
Entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents (2003, background): “During the course of the work, M. anisopliae var. acridum was found to be an important natural pathogen of locusts and grasshoppers (Shah et al. 1997; Driver et al. 2000).”
Field trials of Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) against oriental migratory locusts, Locusta migratoria manilensis (Meyen) in Northern China (2008, background): “: +8 E-m journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/cropro Field trials of Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) against oriental migratory locusts, Locusta migratoria manilensis (Meyen) in Northern China Guoxiong Peng a,b, Zhongkang Wang a,b, Youping Yin a,b, Dengyu Zeng a,b,”
Identification and taxonomy of some entomopathogenic Paecilomyces spp. (Ascomycota) isolates using rDNA-ITS Sequences (2006, methodology): “These spacer regions, or internal transcribed spacer sequences (ITS), have been widely used in fungal systematics (Bowman et al., 1992; Hibbett, 1992; Driver et al., 2000).”
Fungal entomopathogens in a tritrophic context (2010, background): “These studies have discovered that the genetic variation is much higher than previously thought (Driver et al. 2000), and that some species co-occur as a complex containing cryptic species (Rehner and Buckley 2005).”
