Entomopathogenic fungi are attracting attention as potential biological control agents of insect pests. The mechanisms of pathogenesis have parallels with those of some plant-pathogenic fungi, particularly in the areas of formation of an infection structure, entry into the host and toxin-mediated host death. Understanding these processes will provide a rational basis for strain selection and improvement.
昆虫病原真菌作为害虫潜在的生物防治剂正受到关注。其致病机制与一些植物病原真菌的致病机制有相似之处，特别是在感染结构的形成、进入宿主以及毒素介导的宿主死亡等方面。了解这些过程将为菌株的选择和改良提供合理依据。
