ABSTRACT
The objective of this research was to evaluate the percentage of emergence of Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) after exposure to the isolate of the fungi in different concentrations. From the obtained results it was concluded that the isolate of Metarhizium anisopliae (CG34) affects the pupal development of M. domestica under laboratory conditions, leading to a decrease of the emergence tax and an increase in the conidia concentration, while the isolate from Beauveria bassiana (CG240) did not present effects on the development of this insect.
