title: Potential of entomopathogens in biological control of the box-tree moth, Cydalima perspectalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
abstract: The box-tree moth pyralid, Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is the most important insect pest of box trees. Although C. perspectalis is an invasive species, studies on the isolation, characterization and insecticidal activity of entomopathogens that cause disease in the natural populations of box tree moth are scarce. There are few studies on the entomopathogenic organisms that cause diseases in the natural populations of C. perspectalis. C. perspectalis populations
