Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are fungal species that are pathogenic to insects. These fungal pathogens play an important part in controlling insect population making them the first insect pest control factors. Currently, more than 750 species of fungi from around 90 genera are known to be pathogenic to insects classified in several phyla namely: Chytridiomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and the subphylum Entomophthoromycotina. The EPFs contain a plethora of advantages such as being environmentally safe, can be mass-produced, and having the ability to infect the insect hosts through the cuticle instead of waiting for ingestion in order to cause infection. Moreover, it has been established that they can target almost every stage of insect cycle, making them a unique component in the integrated pest management approaches. This review is aimed at finding out how these microorganisms have been studied …
