| Summary: | Rove beetle, Paederusjuscipes Curtis is a natural predator of several crop pests in agricultural ecosystem, however their high intrusion into human settlements causes
them to become a public health concern due to Paedarus dermatitis infection among human. This study was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of Metarhizium
anisopliae fungi as a biocontrol agent for P. fuscipes, The pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae against the beetle P. fuscipes were
tested using three teclmiques; soil infection, bait infection, and horizontal transmission via endo-cannibalistic behaviour. |
