摘要: Worldwide, grasshoppers and locusts destroy several billion dollars (US) worth of crops every year. The known microbial protozoan pathogens are reviewed. They may be valuable control agents, particularly for some the economically devastating locust species in Africa Asia, grasshopper North America Asia. Aspects pathogenic process, if known, fungi, protozoa, viruses rickettsia towards acridids discussed. Finally, production, formulation application these biocontrol agents
