One of the main reasons that we organized this edited volume is to
increase - ternational awareness of the growing use of invertebrate
pathogens for control and eradication of invasive arthropods. As
the numbers of invasive species continues to rise, more insect
pathologists have been involved with work on their control using
entomopathogens. In fact, this is not a new area of focus for
insect pathologists; work on microbes against invasive arthropods
began more than a century ago with
classicalbiologicalcontrolintroductionsofentomopathogenicfungiagainstinvasive
