Entomopathogenic Fungi And Their Biocenotic Importance [PDF]
Postępy Mikrobiologii, 2019 Naturally occurring entomopathogens are important regulatory factors of insect populations. Among them, entomopathogenic fungi play a meaningful role. The invasion of insects by parasitic fungi occurs through penetration of the host integument.

Interactions between Entomopathogenic Fungi and Entomopathogenic Nematodes
Microorganisms, 2023 Entomopathogenic fungi and entomopathogenic nematodes are globally distributed soil organisms capable of infecting and killing a vast variety of insects. Therefore, these organisms are frequently used as biocontrol agents in insect pest management.

Is the Insect Cuticle the only Entry Gate for Fungal Infection? Insights into Alternative Modes of Action of Entomopathogenic Fungi [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2019 Entomopathogenic fungi are the only insect pathogens able to infect their host by adhesion to the surface and penetration through the cuticle. Although the possibility of fungal infection per os was described almost a century ago, there is an information

Abundance of Beauveria spp. and Metarhizium spp. in maize and banana agroecosystems in central Cuba
Agronomía Colombiana, 2022 Entomopathogenic fungi are an ecological alternative for the control of agricultural pests. These fungi live in organic matter in the soil and can cause natural epizootics in many arthropods associated with the rhizosphere.
