The applicability of entomopathogenic fungi for Periplaneta americana’s control in urban sewage is still not well studied, even though its importance as an urban pest capable of disease dissemination being a constant. Females have an important role on dissemination of the species due to their ovipos...

The control in the field of insect large geographical distribution as Periplaneta americana species, that is a mechanical vector of several pathogens to man, may be affected by genetic variability among their populations. They can be segregating, resulting in differences in susceptibility to the con...

Entomopathogens have been used in many agricultural and veterinary programs of pest control. Studies with fungi have shown great potential for control of urban pests, such as cockroaches, but there are few studies on the subject. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the pathogenicity of en...

An important aspect to consider in biological pest control is the formulation of biopesticides, since it may interfere with the effectiveness of the control target. The aim of this study was to evaluate the kinetics of surface tension and contact angle of droplets formed in suspensions of Metarhiziu...

Periplaneta americana is a vector of various diseases and its control is usually done with chemical pesticides. However, this insect can be controlled with the use of entomopathogenic fungal formulations. Therefore, it is necessary to identify these control agents and also characterize sprays used i...
