Ecological factors in the inundative use of fungal entomopathogens (2010, background): “Notable among these are Poprawski et al. (1997), Wraight et al. (2000), and Wraight and Ramos (2002).”
The entomopathogenic fungi Isaria farinosa (formerly Paecilomyces farinosus) and the Isaria fumosorosea species complex (formerly Paecilomyces fumosoroseus): biology, ecology and use in biological control (2008, background): “However, effects against adult whiteflies were minimal (Wraight et al. 2000).”
Use of hyphomycetous fungi for managing insect pests. (2001, unknown): “…occasionally found as a naturally occurring pathogen of whiteflies (Lacey et al., 1996), B. bassiana has demonstrated comparable efficacy to P. fumosoroseus against whiteflies, and several isolates have been commercially developed for their control (Shah and Goettel, 1999; Wraight et al., 2000).”
Effects of combining an entomopathogenic fungi or bacterium with entomopathogenic nematodes on mortality of Curculio caryae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (2004, background): “The 1 rate for P. fumosoroseus was 8 106 viable blastospores/cm2; a reported effective field rate for P. fumosoroseus was in the range of 1.25–5 105 conidia/cm2 (Wraight et al., 2000), but we selected a higher rate based on low pathogenicity observed in preliminary tests (unpublished data).”
Biological control of Bemisia tabaci with fungi (2001, methodology): “This phenomenon has been demonstrated with respect to infection of whitefly nymphs by Beauveria bassiana and P. fumosoroseus (Wraight et al., 2000).”
Influence of Humidity and Greenhouse Microclimate on the Efficacy of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) for Control of Greenhouse Arthropod Pests (2003, background): “Humidity plays a critical role in the germination/ sporulation of B. bassiana (Ferron 1977, Feng et al. 1994, Wraight et al. 2000).”
