Entomopathogenic fungi are widely used in controlling many pests. Usually, spores of them were used in the controlling process. In this study, intracellular and extracellular metabolites were extracted from broth cultures of four entomopathogenic fungi: Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Cladosporium cladosporioides, and Verticillium lecanii. The extracted metabolites and spores of fungal strains were evaluated to compare their efficiency against the 2nd instar larvae of S. littoralis. The results indicated that highly significant differences were found between the efficiency of intracellular and extracellular metabolites and fungal spores against the treated larvae, where the mortality percentage of S. littoralis larvae increased with the extracellular metabolites extract of C. cladosporioides and V. lecanii more than intracellular metabolites and spore suspension, while the intracellular metabolites extract of M. anisopliae was more effective compared with extracellular metabolites and spore suspension, but the spore suspension of B. bassiana caused significant mortality compared with intracellular and extracellular metabolites extracts. As a result, this study reported that it can be useful to use the metabolites of some entomopathogenic fungi in the control of S. littoralis because they may have more activity than fungal spores in some entomopathogenic fungi.","PeriodicalId":15705,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135348661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Brown) on the main insect pests and cabbage yield. So, a trial was carried out at the Agronomic Experimentation Station of the University of Lomé using a device in complete randomized random blocks with 3 repetitions. Each block comprised seven elementary plots: (control (T0); cabbage plants surrounded by mint plants (Me); cabbage plants surrounded by white verbena plants (Ve); cabbage plant inserted in white verbena (Vi); cabbage plant interspersed among mint plants (Mi); cabbage plants interspersed with white verbena and mint plants (ViMi); cabbage plants surrounded by mint plants and white verbena (VeMe)). The insect pests identified were: Plutella xylostella L., Spodoptera littoralis Boisd., Chrysodeixis acuta Walker, Hellula undalis Fabricius, Alpenus maculosa Stoll., and Lipaphis erysimi Kalt.

However, Lipaphis pseudobrassicae is increasingly common in brassica areas, and as it is better adapted to high temperatures, it can become the main pest in warmer seasons or in regions with higher temperatures. Biological research has aided in the management of aphids in different crops, reducing the use of insecticides. However, to accomplish this and ensure agricultural sustainability, we need to understand the biological parameters of insect pests associated with crops. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the biological parameters and population development of L. pseudobrassicae and B. brassicae in the laboratory. Nymphs at 24 h of age were maintained on cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala) seedlings (25±2 °C, RH: 60% and 12 h photophase) and monitored at 24 h intervals until death. The immature phase was similar between B. brassicae (6.46 days) and L. pseudobrassicae (6.57 days) with high mortality of 1st and 2nd instar B. brassicae nymphs. Adults of B. brassicae lived longer in the pre- and post-reproductive periods, but a shorter time in the reproductive period. Time interval of each generation (T), innate ability to increase in number (rm), and finite rate of increase (λ) were similar between species. The specific fertility of B. brassicae was superior to that of L. pseudobrassicae. However, the net reproduction rate (Ro) of L. pseudobrassicae (17.62) was higher than that of B. brassicae (9.98). The time required for the population to double the number of individuals (TD) was shorter for L. pseudobrassicae (3.62 days) when compared to B. brassicae (4.37 days). These results indicate that L. pseudobrassicae may become a more relevant aphid for brassicas in Brazil, compared to B. brassicae.","PeriodicalId":15705,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135735605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With malaria elimination at the top of the health agenda, integrated action on all elements of the malaria system that contributes to improved knowledge and local capacity building for positive effects on the health of the local population is needed.Methods: Several variables were collected for 192 sampling points in 12 communes in Benin, one per department. A questionnaire was sent to the head of the household to analyze the impact of environmental factors on reported malaria cases. Numerous GIS classification software for spatial analysis, remote sensing, data analysis/modeling and GPS management, R and MGWR software were used for geographic modeling.Results: An abundance of malaria cases reported in crop areas than in non-crop areas and in rural areas than in urban areas. The Hot Spot Analysis shows the localities of South Benin and Malanville as priority issue areas with a remarkable increase in crop diversity favorable to malaria vector proliferation. The spatial autocorrelation z-score of 4.83653470763 shows that there is less than a 1% probability that this clustered pattern is the result of chance. Conclusion: The observed non-stationarity means that the relationship between the variables studied varies from location to location depending on the physical factors of the environment that are spatially autocorrelated. Environmental factors therefore influence the intensity of transmission, seasonality, and geographic distribution of malaria.
