DOI: 10.3390/toxins14080514
Abstract: Secondary metabolites/toxins produced by Purpeocillium lilacinum (Hypocreales; Phiocordycipitaceae), a well-known insect pathogen, can be used for the management of different insect pests. We report the lethal and sublethal effects of cyclosporin C (a toxin produced… read more here.
