Orabi (2000) reported that Beauveria bassiana is the most efficient microorganism to metabolize plectanthone (152a) among 20 microorganisms, such as Absidia glauca, Aspergillus flavipes, B. bassiana, Cladosporium resinae, and Penicillium frequentans. The substrate (152a) was incubated with B. bassiana to give metabolites 152b (2.1%), 152c (21.2%), 152d (2.5%), 152e (no data), and 152f (1%) (Figure 23.49).

Silkworm Disease The fungal cause of muscardine disease of the silkworm was discovered in 1835 by Italian lawyer, Agostino Bassi (1773–1856) who became a farmer. This is considered to be the first proof for pathogenesis of germs. The fungus was named Beauveria bassiana.

Jing-an Oral Liquid (JA) is a Chinese herbal formulation consisting of eight herbs: Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch. (Scrophulariaceae), Bombyx mori Linnaeus. (infected with Beauveria bassiana Bals.) (Bombycidae), Paeonia lactiflora Pall. (Ranunculaceae), Gastrodia elata Bl. (Orchidaceae), Curcuma wenyujin Y.H.Chen et C.Ling (Zingiberaceae), Pheretima aspergillum E.Perrier (Megascolecidae), Uncaria rhynchophylla (Miq.) Miq. Ex Havil. (Rubiaceae), and Buthus martensii Karsch (Buthidae). Children with TS in China have been clinically treated with JA for many years. JA was formulated based on the compatibility theory of herbal formulation in traditional Chinese medicine, it can nourish Shen Yin, settle Liver Wind, resolve phlegm, and calm the mind. However, the mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of JA in TS children is unknown.

Our findings on the use of a binary combination of chemical insecticide and fungal secondary metabolites support earlier studies. Indeed, the combined use of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae metabolites with permethrin has been found to be very effective to kill mosquito larvae [37]. Increased toxicity of M. anisopliae metabolites in combination with neem oil against Anopheles gambiae and C. quinquefasciatus adults has been also reported [38]. Concering tests on other insect species, B. bassiana secondary metabolites combined with synthetic insecticides abamectin, triflumuron and carbaryl showed boosted insecticidal activity against the Colorado potato beetle [39]. Furthermore, the combination of chemical insecticide imidacloprid with B. bassiana and M. anisopliae enhanced the toxic effect and reduce survival Diaprepes abbreviatus larvae [40]. Combinations of imidacloprid with secondary metabolites from M. anisopliae show remarkable toxicity against German cockroaches [41]. Lecanicillium muscarium metabolites in combination with either imidacloprid, buprofezin, diflubenzuron, and nicotine, were found to be effective for controlling adults of Bemisia tabaci [42].
Effect of gamma radiation as a post-harvest disinfestation treatment against life stages of the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

A field survey was conducted for the collection of H. hampei infested berries from the plantation of Central Coffee Research Institute (CCRI), Chikkamagaluru Dist (13°21′50.2′′N 75°25′40.2′′E), Karnataka. The presence of the borer entrance hole at navel region of berries was used as the criterion for identification of infested beans. Infested berries were used in the study as all life stages are found in infested berries due to the extended period of oviposition. Coffee berries with a sign of Beauveria bassiana infection were excluded.
