Lethal and pre-lethal effects of a fungal biopesticide contribute to substantial and rapid control of malaria vectors.
Rapidly emerging insecticide resistance is creating an urgent need for new active ingredients to control the adult mosquitoes that vector malaria. Biopesticides based on the spores of entomopathogenic fungi have shown considerable promise by causing very substantial mortality within 7-14 days of exp...
