Overcoming these limitations are key research areas for which progress could open up use of insect viruses to much larger markets. A small number of entomopathogenic bacteria have been commercially developed for control of insect pests. These include several Bacillus thuringiensis sub-species, Lysinibacillus Bacillus sphaericus, Paenibacillus spp.
These pathogens combine the advantages of chemical pesticides and MCAs: Unlike broad spectrum chemical pesticides, B. Of the several commercially produced MCAs, B. Extensive research, particularly on the molecular mode of action of Bt toxins, has been conducted over the past two decades.

The Bt genes used in insect-resistant transgenic crops belong to the Cry and vegetative insecticidal protein families of toxins. Bt has been highly efficacious in pest management of corn and cotton, drastically reducing the amount of broad spectrum chemical insecticides used while being safe for consumers and non-target organisms. Despite successes, the adoption of Bt crops has not been without controversy.
Although there is a lack of scientific evidence regarding their detrimental effects, this controversy has created the widespread perception in some quarters that Bt crops are dangerous for the environment. In addition to discovery of more efficacious isolates and toxins, an increase in the use of Bt products and transgenes will rely on innovations in formulation, better delivery systems and ultimately, wider public acceptance of transgenic plants expressing insect-specific Bt toxins.
Fungi are ubiquitous natural entomopathogens that often cause epizootics in host insects and possess many desirable traits that favor their development as MCAs.

Presently, commercialized microbial pesticides based on entomopathogenic fungi largely occupy niche markets. A variety of molecular tools and technologies have recently allowed reclassification of numerous species based on phylogeny, as well as matching anamorphs asexual forms and teleomorphs sexual forms of several entomopathogenic taxa in the Phylum Ascomycota.
It will be of interest to post-graduate students, research fellows and all those working in insect pest management. Would you like to tell us about a lower price? Learn more about Amazon Prime.
