Global Online Biological Control Literature Database |
|
| This database contains 1275 online biological control Web sites and literature citations. We select 11 of these sites / citations as Featured Sites or Articles. These featured sites or articles generally cover broad scientific and technical issues in biological control as well as application situations in different regions around the world. Therefore, these materials are excellent for workshops such as training the trainers. To search the whole database, go to the bottom of this page. | |

Biological - Integrated Pest Control & Insect Identification
|
|
 This might be the most comprehensive online website devoted to biological control. It is created by Dr. E. F. Legner at University of California. This site is an international, intergovernmental, not-for-profit database coordinated by researchers in the University of California and associated agencies worldwide. Its mission is to facilitate the dissemination, application and generation of scientific knowledge in support of sustainable solutions to problems in agriculture, forestry, human health and the management of natural resources, and with particular attention to the needs of developing countries.

The impact of IITA-led biological control of
major pests in sub-Saharan African agriculture
|
|
| Since the 1970s, the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), in collaboration with
national programs in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and other international organizations, has been
working on the biological control of several exotic pests, which have threatened the production
of major commodities and the livelihoods of millions of people. This document reviews and
presents a synthesis of milestones and impact results of the IITA-led biological control of major
pests in SSA agriculture. IITA has been able to control devastating pests, which have inflicted
damage on the major staple food crops of the poor, and has used innovative approaches to
scaling-up biological control technology in SSA. It has enabled many SSA countries to establish
strong national biological control programs.

A review of introductions of pathogens and nematodes
for classical biological control of insects and mites
|
|
| This review paper summarizes 131 introductions, the majority of which have occurred since 1950. The most commonly introduced microorganisms have
been fungi, viruses and nematodes, although microsporidia, bacteria and oomycetes have also been introduced; among these groups,
viruses were the most successful in establishing followed by nematodes, fungi and microsporidia. All major orders of insects and prostigmatid
mites have been targeted and in 63.6% of the programs the pests being targeted were invasive species and not native. Pathogens
and nematodes yielded excellent success in establishment against sawflies and wood wasps (100% of programs) and 4048% establishment
among other host orders.
