On Reunion Island successful biological control of the sugarcane white grub Hoplochelus marginalis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae) has been conducted for decades with strains from the entomopathogenic fungal genus Beauveria (Ascomycota: Hypocreales). A study based on morphological characters combined with a multisequence phylogenetic analysis of genes that encode the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1), RNA polymerase II largest subunit (RPB1), RNA polymerase II second largest…

Beauveria medogensis sp. nov., a new fungus of the entomopathogenic genus from China.
Morphology, molecular characterization, and virulence of Beauveria pseudobassiana isolated from different hosts.
Entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Beauveria and their pathogenicity to Ips typographus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in the Vitosha National Park, Bulgaria
TLDR
The laboratory experiments suggest that the Bulgarian strains have a potential for the control of bark beetle adults, including entomopathogenic fungi that are believed to be a promising alternative to the traditional control measures of this pest.
BEAUVERIA PSEUDOBASSIANA REHNER AND HUMBER, 2011 A NEW ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGUS FROM GARA MOUNTAIN, IRAQ
There is a growing interest in the exploitation of naturally occurring entomopathogenic microorganisms for the control of pests. Beauveria spp is an important entomopathogenic fungi that used as a…
Cryptic diversity of the genus Beauveria with a new species from Thailand
TLDR
A new species of Beauveria is described, namely B. mimosiformis sp.
Entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria: host specificity, ecology and significance of morpho-molecular characterization in accurate taxonomic classification.
Bioexploration and Phylogenetic Placement of Entomopathogenic Fungi of the Genus Beauveria in Soils of Lebanon Cedar Forests
TLDR
The present survey was successful in optimizing the isolation methods for EPF, investigating the natural occurrence of Beauveria spp.
Species Diversity and Virulence Potential of the Beauveria bassiana Complex and Beauveria scarabaeidicola Complex
TLDR
Nine species of Beauveria in this study were isolated from adult scarab beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), and results indicated that the B. bassiana complex isolates had great potential in the biocontrol of the three insects; by contrast, the b.
High genetic diversity of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana in Colima, Mexico.
Hypocrealean fungi associated with populations of Ips typographus in West Carpathians and selection of local Beauveria strains for effective bark beetle control
TLDR
Beauveria bassiana isolates were selected as the most virulent to bark beetle adults, demonstrating a mean LC50 ranging from 0.72 to 2.05 × 106 conidia ml−1, and qualified as promising candidates for biocontrol of I. typographus.

A Beauveria phylogeny inferred from nuclear ITS and EF1-α sequences: evidence for cryptic diversification and links to Cordyceps teleomorphs
TLDR
Lineage diversity detected within clades A, B and C suggests that prevailing morphological species concepts underestimate species diversity within these groups, and establishes a phylogenetic framework for further taxonomic, phylogenetic and comparative biological investigations of Beauveria and their corresponding Cordyceps teleomorphs.
Phylogeny and systematics of the anamorphic, entomopathogenic genus Beauveria
TLDR
A multilocus phylogeny of Beauveria based on partial sequences of RPB1, RPB2, TEF and the nuclear intergenic region, Bloc is presented and used to assess diversity within the genus and to evaluate species concepts and their taxonomic status.
Phylogenetic and biogeographic implications inferred by mitochondrial intergenic region analyses and ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 of the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and B. brongniartii
TLDR
This study indicates that mt genomes and in particular intergenic regions provide molecular phylogeny tools that combined with criteria of geographic and climatic origin can subdivide the B. bassiana s.
Identification of group-I introns in the 28s rDNA of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria brongniartii
TLDR
The length of the 28s ribosomal DNA differs significantly between two strains of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria brongniartii, and one of the insertions has been cloned and sequenced and shown to possess all the characteristic sequences and secondary structures of a group-IC intron.
Detection of genetic polymorphism by RAPD‐PCR in strains of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria brongniartii isolated from the European cockchafer (Melolontha spp.)
TLDR
This study shows that the strains analysed are closely related, and the subdivision of the European strains into subgroups, obtained from numerical analyses of the data, does not appear to relate to either geographical origin or host insect.
Phylogenetic origins of African and Neotropical Beauveria bassiana s.l. pathogens of the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei.
28s rDNA group‐I introns: a powerful tool for identifying strains of Beauveria brongniartii
TLDR
The nuclear ribosomal DNA of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria brongniartii is polymorphic in terms of both restriction site and length, and there was a correlation between the characteristic introns and isolates collected from the sugar cane pest Hoplochelus marginalis.
Genetic diversity of Beauveria bassiana and relatedness to host insect range.
TLDR
Thirty-eight strains of the entomopathogenic Beauveria bassiana, isolated from diverse species of Lepidoptera or Coleoptera from various geographical sites, were examined by RFLP and RAPD analyses and similar groupings were recovered from both approaches, showing clear relationships between the population structure of B. bassiana and some defined host species.
