Abstract in Portuguese
Avaliou-se em laboratório a patogenicidade de 52 isolados de fungos entomopatogênicos a Brevipalpus phoenicis e a produção, em meio sólido, de quatro isolados de Hirsutella spp.. Utilizando-se microscópio eletrônico de varredura, estudou-se as etapas do ciclo biológico de Hirsutella sp. (isolado 1269) em adultos de B. phoenicis, além da ocorrência de transmissão horizontal deste patógeno para adultos do ácaro a partir de cadáveres esporulados e de substrato contaminado. Todos os isolados de Hirsutella sp. foram patogênicos para o ácaro causando mortalidade de adultos superiores a 90% após seis dias da inoculação. Comprovou-se também que em meio de cultura completo (M.C.) que o isolado 1269 foi o que apresentou maior crescimento vegetativo e esporulação, sendo selecionado como o mais promissor. O ciclo biológico completo de Hirsutella sp., desde a adesão dos conídios ao ácaro até sua extrusão, ocorreu em 120 horas após a aplicação. A transmissão horizontal do patógeno a partir de cadáveres e do substrato contaminado ocasionou mortalidade superior a 50% em ambas as situações, comprovando que o fungo foi capaz de infectar novos hospedeiros. Contatou-se que Hirsutella sp. é um patógeno eficiente no controle de B. phoenicis podendo ser utilizado em campo em estratégias de introdução inoculativa, inundativa, incremento e conservação.

Abstract in English
In this research, the patogenicity of 52 isolates of entomopathogenic fungi against Brevipalpus phoenicis and the production of four isolates of Hirsutella spp. in solid medium (M.C.) were evalueted under laboratory condition. The stages of the biological cycle of Hirsutella sp. (isolated 1269) on adults of B. phoenicis were evalueted with the use of an electron scan microscope, besides the occurrence of horizontal transmission of this fungi from cadavers and from an inoculate substract to new hosts. The isolates of Hirsutella sp. tested were pathogenic to the mite, with high mortality (>90%) after six days of the inoculation. The isolate 1269 showed high levels of vegetative growth and sporulation and was selected as the most promising one. The complete biological cycle of Hirsutella sp. ocurred after 120 hours of the inoculation, from adhesion to extrusion processes. The horizontal transmission of fungi from cadavers and inoculate substract ocurred by causing levels mortality superior to 50% in both cases, showing that the fungi was capable to infect new hosts in these situations. Hirsutella sp. was an efficient pathogen in the control of B. phoenicis and could be exploited in field control strategies through an inoculative introduction, increment or conservation.
