Entomopathogenic fungi, a group of insect pathogens, are characterized by high insecticidal efficacy and minimal environmental impact. They commonly used as biopesticides for pest control due to their significant practical value. We here classify entomopathogenic fungi according the process fungal infection in hosts, changes host behavior during infection, mechanisms spore transmission, review strategies employed insects resist including physical barrier defenses, immune system behavioral avoidance pathogens. This also discusses pathogenic on closely linked co-evolution between pathogens defenses. In conclusion, perspective future research is provided, emphasizing impact population density concentration environment disease outbreaks.
