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.}, title={Pathogenic fungi as a source of insecticides}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/ichb/Content/140367/PDF/POZN271_175793_biotechnologia-2000-no3-bogus.pdf}, keywords={biotechnology}, }
