concentration of 1 × 108 conidia/ml to developmental stages of Amblyomma variegatum,
Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and Rhipicephalus ...
Protection of Metarhizium anisopliae conidia from ultra-violet radiation and their pathogenicity to Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi ticks
(University of Nairobi., 2009)
Metarhizium anisopliae conidia were formulated in water or in olive oil containing 3% commercial sunscreens (Everysun® or E45 Sun Block 50®) and exposed to an artificial UV source for up to 5 hours. Survival of conidia ...
