Pathogenic fungi as a source of insecticides
Committee on Biotechnology PAS ; Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry PAS
The potential of fungal pathogens for the control of insect pests has beenrecognized since the late 19^*’ century. Lethal infection of insect host involvesthe following steps: (i) attachment of the pathogen to the host surfaces, (ii) penetration ofthe host cuticle by infection hyphae or germinating conidia, (iii) invasion of host haemocoel and internal organs by fungal hyphae. Host death results from the cumulative effect of mechanical damage and enzymatic digestionof insect tissues, production of mycotoxins and/or nutrient exhaustion by theparasite.
