| Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill., isolate CG 306, was assayed against Triatoma infestans (Klug) using indirect application by contact with a treated filter paper. The fungus was deposited on filter paper by vacuum-filtration of a conidial suspension. Estimates of 50% survival time of insects were between 15 and 21 days at 3x10(6) and 10(7) conidia/cm² of treated support, respectively, without significant difference between concentrations. A concentration of 2.4x10(6) conidia/cm² of CG 306 was necessary to kill 50% of T. infestans third instar nymphs 25 days after inoculation at 25°C and 50% relative humidity, when insects were continuously exposed to conidia. The LC50 was significantly higher (2.0x10(7) conidia/cm²) when insects were exposed for 1 h to... |

| Foliage consumption by nymphs and adults of the grasshopper Rhammatocerus schistocercoides Rehn infected with the fungus Metarhizium flavoviride Gams & Rozsypal was evaluated. Sixth and eighth instar nymphs and female adults consumed on average (±SEM) 6.9 ± 0.36 cm² (60.7 ± 2.92 mg of dry matter), 11.0 ± 1.35 cm² (74.9 ± 9.24 mg d.m.), and 16.0 ± 0.50 cm² (126.5 ± 6.35 mg d.m.) of sugarcane leaves per day, equivalent to 85.4, 35.9 and 41.9% of the insect body weights, respectively. Eighth instar nymphs and female adults inoculated with M. flavoviride (5,000 conidia / insect) ingested less food from day three onward and showed at day 10 an average consumption 74.5 and 45.6% lower than control insects, respectively. Adult females topically treated... |

| The genetic variability of 27 individuals from two distinct populations (Northeast and Central Brazil) of the grasshopper Schistocerca pallens (Thunberg) and eight isolates of its natural pathogen, the fungus Metarhizium flavoviride Gams & Rozsypal, was investigated using RAPD analysis. For the grasshoppers, ten different 10-mer oligonucleotide primers of arbitrary sequence were selected for analysis, resulting in 79 scorable binary characters. The program RAPDDIP applied to S. pallens revealed nucleotide diversity of 2.3 and 2.2% for the populations from Rio Grande do Norte (Northeast Brazil) and Federal District (Central Brazil), respectively. These values indicate the presence of high genetic variability within these populations. Conversely, the... |

| O gafanhoto Schistocerca pallens (Thunberg) (Orthoptera: Acrididae) tem causado prejuízos em diversas culturas no Brasil e seu controle tem sido à base de inseticidas químicos, o que, freqüentemente, resulta em efeitos indesejáveis, trazendo sérios prejuízos ambientais e econômicos. O fungo entomopatogênico Metarhizium flavoviride (Gams & Rozsypal), candidato potencial ao controle de acridídeos em vários países, foi isolado de S. pallens no Nordeste do Brasil. Desde então, o patógeno tem sido estudado visando ao seu desenvolvimento como bioinseticida contra Rhammatocerus schistocercoides (Rehn), S. pallens e Stiphra robusta Mello-Leitão, que são os principais gafanhotos-praga do Brasil. Em testes realizados em condições de laboratório, aplicações... |
