- Identification and taxonomy of some entomopathogenic Paecilomyces spp. (Ascomycota) isolates using rDNA-ITS Sequences (2006, background): “fumosoroseus (Lacey et al., 2001) but to exploit the considerable potential of this fungus a reliable and standardized approach to its identification is needed.”
- Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future. (2015, background): “Introduction 98 99 Since Lacey et al. (2001) addressed the possible future of microbial control of insects, the 100 development of microbial pesticides and implementation of microbial control has included a 101 number of successes and suffered some setbacks.”
- The microbiome of pest insects: it is not just bacteria (2019, background): “The family of Baculoviridae has been the best studied group for use as biocontrol agents against coleopteran, hemipteran (sawflies), and lepidopteran pests (Carter, 1984; Winstanley & Rovesti, 1993; Lacey et al., 2001; Williams et al., 2017).”
- Biology and Integrated Management of Wheat Stem Sawfly and the Need for Continuing Research (2011, background): “Pathogens can be used as biocontrol agents to manage insect pests (Lacey et al. 2001) and studies of pathogens and their efficacy for the control of C. cinctus have reported some success (Piesik et al. 2009; Wenda-Piesik et al. 2006, 2009).”
- Growth and insect assays of Beauveria bassiana with neem to test their compatibility and synergism (2007, neutral): “…and schedule microbial and chemical pesticide treatments such that benefits from compatible sets can be accrued and, with non-compatible pairs, the deleterious effect of the chemical on the microbe in the biopesticide can be minimized (Butt et al. 2001; Inglis et al. 2001; Lacey et al. 2001).”
- A study of host specificity in the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Hypocreales, Clavicipitaceae) (2008, background): “It is ubiquitous in distribution and is pathogenic to a wide spectrum of arthropods with its host range spanning most orders of class Insecta (Butt and Goettel 2000 ; Lacey, Frutos, Kaya, and Vial 2001 ; Zimmerman 2007 ).”
- Fifty years of attempted biological control of termites - Analysis of a failure (2011, background): “Most of the research on termite biological control has followed the concepts of classical biological control of other insect pests using pathogens (Ferron, 1978; Lacey et al., 2001).”
- Ecology of the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae in temperate agroecosystems: Potential for conservation biological control (2007, background): “However, insights into the fundamental ecology of the fungi in agroecosystems are essential to predict the effects of environmental manipulations on the fungal populations and thus to include entomopathogens in CBC (Fuxa, 1998; Lacey et al., 2001; Shah and Pell, 2003; Stuart et al., 2006).”
