In vivo development of the entomogeneous hyphomycetePaecilomyces farinosus in hostSpodoptera exigua (beet armyworm) larvae
Tóm tắt
The in vivo development of the entomogenous hyphomycetePaecilomyces farinosus inSpodoptera exigua (beet armyworm) larvae was examined using light and electron microscopic techniques. Blastospores injected into larval hemocoels (500 blastospores/larva) were immediately ingested by phagocytic hemocytes, and no fungal cells were detected in the hemolymph until ∼36 h post-injection. As indicated by immunocytochemical methods, the in vivo-produced blastosopres, in contrast to in vitro blastospores, lacked a galacto-mannan surface layer required for opsonization by aS. exigua humoral lectin. Therefore, these in vivo cells were not recognized by phagocytic granulocytes and were freely-circulating in the hemolymph. Hyphae differentiating from the blastospores were recognized by the hemocytes and induced formation of multicellular hemocytic nodules. By 72 h post-injection, mycelia were observed emerging from the nodules and by 96 h, larvae had become mummified due to extensive proliferation of the fungus throughout host tissues. Neither phagocytosis of the initially injected in vitro-produced blastospores nor nodule formation around hyphal cells later in the infection process was effective in stopping fungal growth. The in vivo development ofP. farinosus was similar to that of another hyphomycete,Beauveria bassiana except that in the latter case, extensive nodule formation was inhibited by the production of fungal metabolites.
