TLDR
The fungi such as Beauveria bassiana, Verticiliium lecanii and Metarhizium anisopliae and are well known entomopathogens that have been commercially developed as biopesticides are reviewed.Abstract:
Entomopathogenic fungi are known to infect different tick species and the efficacy of these interesting fungi to control ticks is highly strain-specific They comprise a wide range of morphologically, phylogenetically, and ecologically diverse fungal species fungal bio control agents have been tested under laboratory and to certain extent at field level too against R (B) microplus ticks The results are significant in both trials and they can be recommended for field use The fungi such as Beauveria bassiana, Verticiliium lecanii and Metarhizium anisopliae and are well known entomopathogens that have been commercially developed as biopesticides With increased commercialization, entomopathogenic fungi are poised to become a significant component of integrated pest management This article reviews these promising microbial agents, their action against against ticks; the scope of applicability in field conditions and potential of these fungi as biological control agent against R (B) microplus ticksread more

Entomopathogenic fungi for mosquito control: A review
TL;DR: It is argued that entomopathogenic fungi, both new and existing ones with renewed/improved efficacies may contribute to an expansion of the limited arsenal of effective mosquito control tools, and that they may contribute in a significant and sustainable manner to the control of vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue and filariasis.

Chapter V-3 – Fungi: Hyphomycetes
TL;DR: It is found that although most entomopathogenic Hyphomycetes will produce blastospores in submerged culture, specific parameters need to be evaluated and adjusted for every strain studied for optimum blastospore production.
