Fig 1.
Kaplan-Meier survival curves for six fruit fly species and Galleria mellonella treated with Beauveria hoplocheli strain B507, B. bassiana strains I-2960 and I-2961 using 106 conidia.mL-1 suspensions.
Different letters indicate significant differences between treatments within an insect species (log-rank test, P < 0.05 after Sidak’s correction). Crosses indicate censored data.
Fig 2.
Mortality rate of six fruit fly species and Galleria mellonella treated with Beauveria hoplocheli strain B507, B. bassiana strains I-2960 and I-2961 using 106 conidia.mL-1 suspensions.
Data presented are means ± SEM, with three replicates of 30 insects for each treatment and each species. Mortality rates were calculated at the time when the mortality rate of the control reached 0.2. For each insect species, a generalized linear model was fitted and pairwise between treatment differences were tested using a likelihood ratio test. Different letters indicate significant differences between treatments (P < 0.05).
Fig 3.
Kaplan-Meier survival curves for Alphitobius diaperinus, Hoplochelus marginalis and Galleria mellonella treated with Beauveria hoplocheli strain B507 and B. bassiana strains I-2960 and I-2961 using 108 conidia.mL-1 suspensions.
Different letters indicate significant differences between treatments within an insect species (log-rank test, P < 0.05 after Sidak’s correction). Crosses indicate censored data.
Fig 4.
Mortality rate of Alphitobius diaperinus, Hoplochelus marginalis and Galleria mellonella treated with Beauveria hoplocheli strain B507, B. bassiana strains I-2960 and I-2961 using 108 conidia.mL-1 suspensions.
Data presented are means ± SEM, with three replicates of 30 insects for each treatment and each species. Mortality rates were calculated at the time when the mortality rate of the control reached 0.2. For each insect species, a generalized linear model was fitted and pairwise between treatment differences were tested using a likelihood ratio test. Different letters indicate significant differences between treatments (P < 0.05).
Fig 5.
Mycosis rate of six fruit fly species and Galleria mellonella treated with Beauveria hoplocheli strain B507 and B. bassiana strains I-2760 and I-2761 using 106 conidia.mL-1 suspensions.
Data presented are means ± SEM, with three replicates of 30 insects for each treatment and each species. Mycosis rates were calculated using the percentage of cadavers showing external fungal growth out of the total number of tested insects. For each insect species, a generalized linear model was fitted and pairwise between treatment differences were tested using a likelihood ratio test. Different letters indicate significant differences between treatments (P < 0.05).
