Title A name given to the resource Potencial y Algunos de los Mecanismos de Acción de los Hongos Entomopatógenos para el Control de Insectos Plaga Potencial y Algunos de los Mecanismos de Acción de los Hongos Entomopatógenos para el Control de Insectos Plaga Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource María Teresa Carrillo-Rayas, Alejandro Blanco-Labra Description An account of the resource This paper describes the use of an ecological alternative to control insect pests. One viable strategy, developed to answer the growing concern about the negative effects that chemical pesticides have on human health and/or the environment, consists in exploiting the use of natural insect pathogens. Among several options, the use of entomopathogenic fungi (EMF) as possible microbial control agents has been considered worldwide. EMF are widely recognized for their potential use as biological control agents. Due to their distinctive mode of action, EMF could have a unique and/or complementary role in insect control. Unlike bacterial, viral or protozoan entomopathogens, EMF do not require to be ingested by their host; instead, germinating fungal spores can penetrate directly through the insect’s cuticle. This mode of infection is possible thanks to the synergistic effect of cuticle-degrading enzymes, plus the mechanic pressure produced upon their contact. The enzymes participating in this process are a determinant factor for an effective infection. El presente artículo enfatiza el uso de una alternativa ecológica para el control efi caz de plagas. Considerando que existe una preocupación general sobre los efectos negativos de los pesticidas químicos en la salud pública y/o en el medio ambiente, una alternativa consiste en el aprovechamiento de patógenos naturales de insectos. El uso de hongos entomopatógenos (HEP) como agentes de control biológico ha sido considerado a nivel mundial; estos hongos son ampliamente reconocidos por su potencial como agentes de control biológico. Debido a su modo de infección distintivo, los hongos pueden tener un papel único o complementario como agentes de control de insectos plaga. A diferencia de otros agentes entomopatógenos, como bacterias, virus o protozoarios, los HEP no requieren ser ingeridos por su hospedero para causar la infección; en su lugar, las esporas pueden penetrar directamente a través de la cutícula. Este modo de infección es posible gracias a la acción coordinada de enzimas hidrolíticas, además de la presión mecánica ejercida en el punto de contacto. Las enzimas participantes son factores determinantes en el éxito de la infección.
