'''<font color="#008000">Diseases of pests</font> relevant to biological control'''

This group includes microorganisms like [[Bacteria (entomopathogens)‎|bacteria]], [[Viruses (entomopathogens)‎|viruses]], [[Fungi/fungal-like organisms (entomopathogens)|fungi]], [[Pathogenic nematodes (beneficials)|nematodes]] or [[Microsporidia (entomopathogens)|microsporidia]] used (or with a potential) for the microbial control of harmful insects and other pests (arthropods and vertebrates). Most organisms listed are infectious diseases which propagate in the pests. Literature records might include articles dealing with recombinant strains.

For navigation you can use the box on the right or the alphabetical list of disease groups below (alternatively, you can of course use the wiki [http://wiki.pestinfo.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&fulltext=Search&profile=all&redirs=1&search= search function]):
