Abstract

Since Agostino Bassi first isolated the fungal pathogenic agent of the white muscardine in insects (later named Beauveria bassiana in his honor), and Ilya Mechnikov cultivated Metarhizium anisopliae as a first approach to use fungi as pest control agents, many other entomopathogenic fungi have been studied over the last two centuries [...].
