Abstract
Cover illustration:
Healthy cells of the ash weevil grub Myllocerus subfasciatus (Curculionidae: Coleoptera) from the control treatment were histologically studied against cells infected with Metarhizium spp. This study established a baseline for evaluating the effects of fungal infections on insect cell morphology and structure. Metarhizium spp.-infected insect cells showed morphological changes, cytoplasmic damage, and indications for fungal proliferation, depicting the mechanism of fungal invasion and the efficacy of Metarhizium as a biological control agent against ash weevils. The image illustrates the healthy cells of the ash weevil grub, offering a detailed view of the gut lumen, with cells examined through histopathological techniques.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Basic Microbiology (JBM) publishes primary research papers on both procaryotic and eucaryotic microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, protozoans, phages, viruses, viroids and prions.
Papers published deal with:
microbial interactions (pathogenic, mutualistic, environmental),
ecology,
physiology,
genetics and cell biology/development,
new methodologies, i.e., new imaging technologies (e.g. video-fluorescence microscopy, modern TEM applications)
novel molecular biology methods (e.g. PCR-based gene targeting or cassettes for cloning of GFP constructs).
