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.
