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.

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].

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.

Akbar et al. (2004) declared that Protect-It enhances the efficacy of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin against larval T. castaneum. Protect-It removed phospholipids and long-chain fatty acids of insect cuticle, resulting in increasing conidial attachment, accessing the nutrients to conidia for their germination. Likewise, Lord (2005) declared that the number of progenies produced by R. dominica was significantly reduced when B. bassiana was combined with Protect-It. He emphasized that IDIs absorbed water and the wax layer of insects’ cuticle which is synergized by B. bassiana. SilicoSec® also enhanced the pathogenicity of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschinkoff) Sorokin (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes) on T. confusum (Michalaki et al. 2006) and Paecilomyces fumosoroseus (Wise) Brown and Smith (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) on adults and larvae of T. confusum and Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae (Michalaki et al. 2007). Similarly, Riasat et al. (2011) stated that the toxicity of B. bassiana plus Diafil610 against R. dominica was significantly more than application of fungi unformulated conidia or Diafil610 alone. It indicates the Diafil610 particles synergize fungal spore penetration and germination. Wakil et al. (2011) also suggested the combination of enhanced IDI formulation DEBBM and B. bassiana had increased efficacy against R. dominica. The entomopathogenic fungi B. bassiana has ovicidal potential and the spores could penetrate and infects eggs of R. dominica, T. castaneum, C. ferrugineus and O. surinamensis (Lord 2009). Also, combination of Metarhizium anisopliae and the DE formulation Diafil 610 provide a satisfied protection of stored wheat against adults of R. dominica, T. castaneum, C. ferrugineus and Liposcelis paeta (Pearman) (Ashraf et al. 2017).
