• Ecological factors in the inundative use of fungal entomopathogens (2010, background): “There are several estimates of the LC50 and LC95 of fungi in terms of colony forming units or spores, per cm-3 or g of soil (e.g., Ferron 1981; McDowell et al. 1990; Bruck 2005; Ekesi et al. 2002; Bruck et al. 2005).”
• Impact assessment of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy for suppression of mango-infesting fruit flies in Kenya (2016, methodology): “The biopesticide (M. anisopliae) was developed jointly by ICIPE and a private sector company (Real IPM Ltd, Kenya) and is available commercially as Campaign® for the management of different species of fruit flies and other insect pests (Ekesi et al., 2005, 2002; Ekesi and Billah, 2007).”
• Horizontal transmission of Metarhizium anisopliae among laboratory populations of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) (2008, background): “…technique and bait sprays; (4) genetic sterilization (SIT); (5) biological control with parasitoids (Rendon et al., 2006), and, more recently, with the use of entomopathogens (Ekesi et al., 2002, 2003, 2005; Dimbi et al., 2003a; Konstantopoulos and Mazomenos, 2005; QuesadaMoraga et al., 2006).”
• Effect of constant temperatures on germination, radial growth and virulence of Metarhizium anisopliae to three species of African tephritid fruit flies (2004, background): “Entomopathogenic fungi are being developed as alternatives to chemical pesticides for the control of fruit flies (García et al., 1984; Castillo et al., 2000; Lezama-Gutierrez et al., 2000; Ekesi et al., 2002).”
