Like other taxa in this family, " Zoophthora " species cause disease in insects and as such are considered entomopathogenic fungi.
22.
Entomopathogenic fungi infect and kill insects, including a variety of pest species, so they have been investigated as possible biological control agents.
23.
Like most entomopathogenic fungal taxa, " Zoophthora " has been studied largely in the context of biological control of insect pest species.
24.
""'Ophiocordyceps sinensis " "'is an entomopathogenic fungus found in mountainous regions of India, Nepal and Tibet.
25.
It is based on a naturally occurring entomopathogenic fungus ( i . e . insects-infecting fungus ), " Metarhizium acridum ".
26.
Natural enemies of the moth include several parasites such as the entomopathogenic fungi " Beauveria bassiana " and " Nosema furnacalis ".
27.
Several species of entomopathogenic nematode are important predators of insect and other invertebrate pests . " Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita " is a microscopic nematode that kills slugs.
28.
""'Ophiocordyceps formicarum " "'is an entomopathogenic fungus belonging to the order Hypocreales ( Ascomycota ) in the family Ophiocordycipitaceae.
29.
Entomopathogenic Nematodes have a very limited shelf life . Furthermore, they are negatively affected by high temperature and dry conditions as they are organisms mostly suited to water.
30.
A biological pesticide product called'Green Muscle'is based on the entomopathogenic fungus ( " Metarhizium acridum " ) is now available ( see desert locust ).
