entomopatogén
Entomopatogén is a term used to describe a type of pathogen that specifically infects insects. These pathogens are often studied in the field of entomology and are crucial in understanding insect biology, ecology, and control strategies. Entomopatogens can be viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, or other microorganisms that cause disease in insects. They play a significant role in regulating insect populations, as many insect species are essential for ecosystem balance and human agriculture.
Research on entomopatogens involves identifying the pathogens, understanding their life cycles, and studying their interactions with
Entomopatogens can also be used in biological research to study insect behavior, physiology, and genetics. By
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of entomopatogens for biocontrol purposes,
