The Susceptibility of Different Species and Stages of Ticks to Entomopathogenic Fungi

Abstract: Boophilus annulatus, Hyalomma excavatum and Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks were shown to be susceptible to different entomopathogenic fungi under laboratory conditions. Comparative results of bioassays using five different fungal species showed that some strains of Metarhizium anisopliae are highly pathogenic against various tick stages tested. In contrast to to their activity against insects, fungi also affected tick eggs. All tested tick stages including those feeding on a host were found to be susceptible t… Show more

“…Las diferencias observadas, en la patogenicidad provocada por las cepas de los hongos, son notorias al comparar la cepa BM-MJ04 con las restantes de las cepas analizadas en el estudio, pues su virulencia fue significativamente menor, esto coincide con lo reportado por Fernández-Ruvalcaba et al (2005 a , 2010 b ), Guedes-Frazzon et al (2000), y Gindini et al (2002) pues destacan que, a pesar de que las garrapatas son susceptibles a los hongos entomopatógenos, el grado de virulencia varía considerablemente entre cepas.…”

“…Por su parte, al igual que en este estudio, otras investigaciones realizadas con M. anisopliae, por múltiples autores, encontraron una alta mortalidad al infestar teleóginas (Gindini et al 2002). Fernández-Ruvalcaba et al (2010) infectaron cepas de la garrapata R. microplus, susceptibles y resistentes a organofosforados, con suspensiones del hongo M. anisopliae desde 10 2 hasta 10 8 conidias/ml, cuantificando la mortalidad a los 10, 15 y 20 días, encontraron que M. anisopliae mostraba ser altamente infectivo para ambas cepas de garrapatas, al ser las dosis 10 7 y 10 8 las más agresivas.…”
