A popular study is to analyze the effects of single doses of gamma radiation (70, 100, 125 and 150 Gy) sequentially or
mixed with the Lethal Concentration 50 (LC50) of certain entomopathogenic fungi (Beauveria bassiana, Paecilomyces
lilacinus) against the Greater Wax Moth (GWM), Galleria mellonella selected biological aspects of the impact. Larval
pupal period, percent pupation, percent adult pupation, sex ratio and percent adult survival of G. mellonella First
Generation (F1).
Gamma irradiation and LC50 of combined treatments of Beauveria bassiana and Paecilomyces lilacinus prolonged the
larval-pupal period, while pupation, adult emergence, survival and sex ratio were lower in the combined treatment
than in either treatment alone get more. Second-instar the wax moth larvae from male or fema.. View More»
