The entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana are highly virulent control tools for insect pests and have been under evaluation for the control of globally important mosquito vectors such as Aedes aegypti . Here, we identified and isolated other virulent entomopathogenic f...
