Description
Mode of action
When the spores of the fungus come in contact with the cuticle (skin) of the susceptible insects, they germinate and grow directly through the cuticle into the inner body of the host. The fungus proliferates throughout the body, producing toxins and draining the insect of nutrients eventually killing it. Many insect pathogens release metabolites that increases the chance of death of insect. Destruxens from Metarrhizium are polypeptides that appear to be directly toxic to the insect.
