Haemaphysalis qinghaiensis, a prevalent tick species in China, causes severe economic losses. In this study, we investigated the pathogenicity of six isolates of the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae to engorged female H. qinghaiensis using concentrations of 10(6), 10(7) and 10(8) conidia ml(-1). The results indicated that M.aAT08 and M.aAT13 isolates were highly virulent against the ticks. Metarhizium anisopliae has potential for biocontrol of H. qinghaiensis.
青海血蜱是中国一种常见的蜱虫物种，会造成严重的经济损失。在本研究中，我们使用10⁶、10⁷和10⁸个分生孢子/毫升的浓度，研究了六种绿僵菌分离株对饱血雌性青海血蜱的致病性。结果表明，M.aAT08和M.aAT13分离株对蜱虫具有高毒力。绿僵菌具有对青海血蜱进行生物防治的潜力。
