• The entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana has epiphytic and endophytic activity against the tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta (2016, background): “Originating from South America, this insect was introduced into Europe (Spain) in 2006 and has rapidly spread since then throughout many European and African countries as well as to the Middle East (Desneux et al. 2010; Zappala et al. 2013; Brevault et al. 2014; Gharekhani and Salek-Ebrahimi 2014).”
