Metarhizium anisopliae Virulence Against Oriental Fruit Flies Under Lab Conditions

Laboratory experiment results assessing the virulence of a Metarhizium anisopliae fungal strain on Bactrocera dorsalis (oriental fruit flies). The dataset and associated R code were created by author Anaïs Chailleux of CIRAD for a published article on improving on-target control strategies.

Use Cases

• Modeling fungal virulence based on inoculation dose and formulation mentioned in the description
• Analyzing the effect of air temperature on pest mortality rates
• Statistical replication of the analyses presented in the associated article using the provided R code

Strengths

• Dataset is directly linked to a published scientific article, providing context and validation
• Includes associated R code for statistical analysis, enhancing reproducibility

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
