          Abstract

          Resumen Los hongos entomopatógenos Metarhizium anisopliae (Ascomycota: Clavicipitaceae) y Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota: Cordycipitaceae) son una alternativa para el control de plagas de gramíneas (e.g. Rhammatocerus schistocercoides (Orthoptera: Acrididae) y de soya (e.g. Cerotoma tingomariana; Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). Con el fin de utilizar estos microorganismos como principio activo de micoinsecticidas, es necesario contar con métodos de control de calidad microbiológico, fisicoquímico y de actividad biológica que sean repetibles y reproducibles en el tiempo. Por tal razón, y dada la dificultad en la recolecta de individuos en el campo y en el establecimiento de crías masivas de R. schistocercoides y de C. tingomariana, se establecieron métodos para la evaluación rutinaria de la actividad biológica mediante el uso de hospederos alternativos. Para M. anisopliae, dirigido al control de R. schistocercoides, se evaluaron las especies Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) y Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) mientras que para B. bassiana, dirigido al control del insecto C. tingomariana, se evaluaron D. saccharalisy Chloridea virescens(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Se seleccionaron a D. saccharalis y C. virescens como insectos alternativos para evaluar la eficacia de M. anisopliae y B. bassiana, respectivamente con eficacia cercana al 80 %, en los dos casos. Los métodos con los insectos alternativos seleccionados fueron estandarizados y se demostró que son repetibles y reproducibles bajo las condiciones evaluadas.

          Abstract The entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae (Ascomycota: Clavicipitaceae) and Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota: Cordycipitaceae) are an alternative for the control of grassland pests (e.g. Rhammatocerus schistocercoides (Orthoptera: Acrididae) and soybean pests (e.g. Cerotoma tingomariana; Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). To use these microorganisms as active principles of micoinsecticides, it is necessary to have quality control methods (microbiological, physicochemical and biological activity) accuracy, and reproducibility in a given timeframe. For this reason and given the difficulty in obtaining individuals in the field and in the establishment of the rearing of R. schistocercoides and C. tingomariana, we established methods for the routine evaluation of biological activity using alternative hosts. For M. anisopliae directed to the control of R. schistocercoides, the model insects Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) and Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were tested, and for B. bassiana directed to the control of the target insect C. tingomariana, the model insects D. saccharalis and Chloridea virescens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were evaluated. D. saccharalis and C. virescens were selected as alternative insects to evaluate the efficacy of M. anisopliae and B. bassiana, respectively. Efficacy was close to 80 % for both pathogens. The methods with the selected alternative insects were standardized and showed that they are repeatable and reproducible under the evaluated conditions.

              Galleria mellonella infection models for the study of bacterial diseases and for antimicrobial drug testing

              abstract Galleria mellonella (greater wax moth or honeycomb moth) has been introduced as an alternative model to study microbial infections. G. mellonella larvae can be easily and inexpensively obtained in large numbers and are simple to use as they don't require special lab equipment. There are no ethical constraints and their short life cycle makes them ideal for large-scale studies. Although insects lack an adaptive immune response, their innate immune response shows remarkable similarities with the immune response in vertebrates. This review gives a current update of what is known about the immune system of G. mellonella and provides an extensive overview of how G. mellonella is used to study the virulence of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In addition, the use of G. mellonella to evaluate the efficacy of antimicrobial agents and experimental phage therapy are also discussed. The review concludes with a critical assessment of the current limitatons of G. mellonella infection models.
