Records of diseases of Cerambycidae have appeared very infrequently in the literature. Crawshay (1907) described an unidentified disease of larvae of Tetropium gabrieli Weise. Garman (1921) and MacLeod (1954a) reported a fungus, Beauveria globulifera, a strain of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill., from adults of Cyllene robiniae (Forst.) and a larva of Acanthocinus aedilis (L.) respectively. Duffy (1953) recorded the fungi lsaria sp. on adults of Phryneta spinator (Fab.), and Entomophthora grylli on larvae of Saperda carcharias (L.). A wilt disease, suspected of being caused by a virus, was reported by Beeson (1931) in larvae of Celosterna scabrator Fab.) reared in glass tubes.

Wax Moth

Second-instar larvae of the gypsy moth, Porthetria dispar (L.) were infected with Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuill. by allowing larvae to crawl over sporulating cultures of the fungus. Virulence of the pathogen was increased by inoculating larvae of the wax moth, Galleria melonella (L.), twice in serial succession. Observations were made on the infectivity and histopathology of the parasite in the host. Penetration of the cuticle occurred 24 h after inoculation and at 64 h post-inoculation the interior was completely filled with hyphae. Penetration of the gut wall was also observed.

Orchard Soils

Soils from 19 pecan orchards in ten Georgia counties were sampled for Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin propagules utilizing a selective oatmeal-dodine agar. The 543 soil samples were collected at times corresponding to adult pecan weevil, Curculio caryae (Horn), emergence from the soil and larval penetration into the soil. Fungal propagules were detected in the soils of each of the 19 orchards on both sampling dates. Therefore, soils in pecan orchards in Georgia appear to contain B. bassiana propagules during periods of adult and larval activity of pecan weevils regardless of location, soil type, or pest management practices. Environmental conditions in these orchard soils are apparently conducive for B. bassiana stability and persistence and may enhance efforts to augment the natural inoculum.

AbstractMortality of larvae of the pale apple leafroller, Pseudexentera mail (Freeman), and the winter moth, Operophtera brumata (Linnaeus), that formed cocoons and pupated in soil or vermiculite treated with pathogens was determined in orchard and insectary tests. The entomogenous fungus Metarrhizium anisopliae reduced survival to less than 5% in most tests. The entomogenous nematode DD136 was slightly less effective. The fungus Beauveria bassiana had little effect. Less than 50% of the test insects survived in non-treated media.
