Zusammenfassung

Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are naturally occurring insect pathogens that have the potential to be used for pest control. Different isolates of EPF kill specific range of insect pests. In spite of the importance of their application as biopesticides in integrated pest management (IPM), few studies have proposed models for the study of their dispersal abilities and provide epizootiological knowledge about their transmission and dynamics. Furthermore, no specific software exists for: i) developing temperature dependent models for the virulence of EPF isolates, ii) linking virulence mode...
