BICH, Gustavo A et al. Entomopathogenic Fungi in Misiones Province: A Review. Rev. cienc. tecnol. [online]. 2015, n.23, pp.54-58. ISSN 1851-7587.
Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are microorganisms with a high specificity and the ability to infect and kill insects and consequently there has been great interest in the use of these fungi as biocontrol agents against many crop pests. The purpose of the present review was to update the available information about EPF in Misiones in order to expand the knowledge of biodiversity of this group and the potential use in biocontrol of pest. The broad literature in this subject was reviewed and synthesized. First we present a general view of taxonomical information of EPF and then, noteworthy studies conducted by several authors. As a result of this review, it was concluded that there are scarce studies on EPF in Misiones province compared to other provinces in Argentina and Brazil. The goal of this overview is to encourage the search and in-depth examination of the scientific knowledge of EPF in Misiones province.
