Expression of allatotropin in <i>Beauveria bassiana</i> suppresses host immune responses and enhances virulence against Lepidopteran pests
These findings demonstrate that the neuropeptide AT can suppress immune responses in Lepidopteran insects, thereby enhancing fungal virulence. This provides valuable insights into developing more effective biological control strategies using B. bassiana to manage Lepidopteran pests. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
