“…One of the most obnoxious and significant wax pests in the world is the greater wax moth (GWM), Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) [1][2][3][4]. In its larval stage, this larva badly harms comb wax by feeding on it.…”

Studying the impact of gamma radiation in conjunction with the LC50 of the entomopathogenic fungi on a few biological characteristics of Galleria mellonella (L.) larvae was the goal of the current work. The effects of single doses of gamma radiation (70, 100, 125, and 150 Gy) given sequentially or combined with the LC50 of specific entomopathogenic fungi (Beauveria bassiana, Paecilomyces lilacinus) against the Greater wax moth. The first generation (F1) of G. mellonella was examined for its larval pupal period, pupation percent, sex ratio, and adult survival percent. Gamma irradiation and LC50 of combined treatments of Beauveria bassiana and Paecilomyces lilacinus prolonged the larval-pupal period, while pupation, adult emergence, survival and sex ratio were lower in the combined treatment than in either treatment alone get more. The combined treatment was greater than either, in the case of fungal or irradiation treatment alone.

The entomopathogenic fungi (EPF), as a biological control agent, can provide an alternative option for high-risk insecticides. Beauveria bassiana is one of the most potential EPF of pest control all over the world. The EPF isolate Y-F_ITS1 was isolated from Egyptian fauna on Beauveria-specific selective medium (BS medium). Molecular screening of the B. bassiana isolate, using PCR amplification with B. bassiana-specific primers and nucleotide sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, confirmed the isolate as B. bassiana (accession no. [MK773644.1]). Efficacy of the isolate Y-F_ITS1 was examined against fourth instar larvae of Galleria mellonella L. as a model insect using concentrations from 104 to 107 spores ml−1 in a contact toxicity assay under laboratory conditions. The pathogenicity experiment showed that all the tested concentrations caused mortalities ranged from 75 to 98.33%, within 5 days posttreatment with cumulative mortalities, reached 100%, before 7 days with typical symptoms of infection and sporulation. Further investigations are needed to prove its efficacy against different economic pests as a credible candidate of integrated pest management (IPM) program.
