Assessment of oral virulence against Spodoptera litura, acquired by a previously non-pathogenic Metarhizium anisopliae isolate, following integration of a midgut-specific insecticidal toxin

2014-12-01

Abstract excerpt

All entomopathogenic fungi infect insects by direct penetration through the cuticle rather than per os through the gut. Genetic transformation can confer fungi with per os virulence. However, unless the recipient isolate is nonpathogenic to the target insect, mortality caused by a transgenic isolate cannot be attributed solely to oral virulence due to the potential for some simultaneous cuticular infection. Here,...
