Virtually all examined plant species harbour fungal endophytes which asymptomatically
infect or colonize living plant tissues, including leaves, branches, stems and roots …

Fungal entomopathogens have been proposed as environmentally friendly alternatives to
chemical control. Unfortunately, their effectiveness continues to be limited by their …

An increasing number of recent studies demonstrate that entomopathogenic fungi, often
solely considered as insect pathogens, play additional roles in nature, including …

Among invertebrate fungal pathogens, Beauveria bassiana has assumed a key role in
management of numerous arthropod agricultural, veterinary and forestry pests. Beauveria is …

The incorporation of entomopathogenic fungi as biocontrol agents into Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) programs without doubt, has been highly effective. The ability of these …

Definition Entomopathogenic fungi are a special group of soil-dwelling microorganisms that
infects and kills insects and other arthropods through cuticle penetration. They are currently …

It is now evident that entomopathogenic fungi are able to colonize plant tissues as
symptomless endophytes. Although most data so far published in this regard refer to …

We investigated the fungal entomopathogens Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium
anisopliae to determine if endophytic colonization could be achieved in cassava. An …

The effect of increased duration of seed treatment with two fungal entomopathogens,
Beauveria bassiana (NATURALIS) and Metarhizium brunneum (BIPESCO5), on the growth …

It is becoming abundantly clear that the microbes associated with plants and insects can
profoundly influence plant-insect interactions. Here, we focus on recent findings and …
