Compatibility Between the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana and the Ectoparasitoid Sclerodermus guani: Implications for Fungus-Associated Biological Control of Monochamus alternatus
Pine wilt disease, caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and vectored by Monochamus alternatus, is a devastating forest disease. The parasitoid Sclerodermus guani and entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana are effective biocontrol agents against wood-boring pests, but their compatibility remains poorly understood. W...
