“…The species is known to occupy different ecological niches. It has been reported as a pathogen on different host plants (Han et al 2014;Haudenshield et al 2018;Matic et al 2019;Pappachan et al 2019;Soliman 2020), as a seed-borne pathogen (Bharath et al 2006;Abdullah and Al-Mosawi 2010), as an endophyte (Amitha et al 2014;Liu et al 2016;Shen et al 2019), or as a soil and dead plant substrate inhabitant (Domsch et al 2007;Lee et al 2008;Kwon et al 2014; be a promising agent for biological weed control (Lee et al 2008).…”

The squash beetle Epilachna chrysomelina (F.) is an important insect pest which causes severe damage to cucurbit plants in Iraq. The aims of this study were to isolate and characterize an endogenous isolate of Myrothecium-like species from cucurbit plants and from soil in order to evaluate its pathogenicity to squash beetle. Paramyrothecium roridum (Tode) L. Lombard & Crous was isolated, its phenotypic characteristics were identified and ITS rDNA sequence analysis was done. The pathogenicity of P. roridum strain (MT019839) was evaluated at a concentration of 10 7 conidia • ml -1 ) water against larvae and adults of E. chry somelina under laboratory conditions. The results revealed the pathogenicity of the isolate to larvae with variations between larvae instar responses. The highest mortality percentage was reported when the adults were placed in treated litter and it differed significantly from adults treated directly with the pathogen. Our results documented for the first time that P. roridum has potential as an insect pathogen.
