Research Interests / Job description

Pathogens infecting insects and ticks: entomopathogenic fungi and bacteria (isolation, identification, bioassay, application in greenhouses and in field).
Development of mycoacaricide based on entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae, against ticks.
Improving efficacy of Bacillus thuringiensis application against defoliators in forests and parks.
Field evaluation of systemic insecticides for control of the pine processionary moth T.wilkinsoni.
Development of insect diets (for example, for Capnodis spp. and Batrachedra amydraula).
