Abstract

Insects are commonly infected by fungal diseases and are mostly susceptible to them. Increasing levels of insecticide resistance has recently become an issue for control programs; thus, research has focused on mosquito control using entomopathogenic fungi, including fungal pathogens such as Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, and Lagenidium giganteum. Review discusses entomopathogenic fungi related to control programs for mosquito transmitted vector-borne diseases such as dengue, filariasis, malaria, and yellow fever, and how to use entomopathogenic fungi for mosquito control.

곤충이 곰팡이병에 감염되는 것을 흔히 볼 수 있고, 대부분은 이들에 대해 감수성을 나타내고 있다. 최근 살충제 저항성이 문제가 되면서 곤충병원성 곰팡이를 이용한 모기 방제에 대한 연구가 더욱 주목을 받고 있고, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Lagenidium giganteum와 같은 병원성 곰팡이를 모기 방제에 사용하기 위해 노력 중이다. 이 총설에서는 말라리아, 뎅기열, 사상충, 황열병 등을 옮기는 모기들의 방제에 사용되는 곤충병원성 곰팡이를 정리하고 이들의 활용방안을 논하였다.
