• Exotic biological control agents: A solution or contribution to arthropod invasions? (2016, background): “Biological control agents that have been used are predominantly predatory, parasitic and herbivorous insects but also include mites, nematodes, snails and a limited number of pathogens of invertebrates and plants (Cock et al. 2010; Hajek et al. 2007; Winston et al. 2014).”
• Ecosmart Biorational Insecticides: Alternative Insect Control Strategies (2012, background): “For more information about successful application of entompathgenic nematodes, see Mill et al. (2000), Gaugler (2002), Crow (2006), Hajek et al. (2007), Lacey & Kaya (2007), and Gilbert & Gill (2010).”
• Shifting paradigms in the history of classical biological control (2018, methodology): “We did not include biological control of invertebrates other than insects, or the use of biological control of insects using agents other than insects for this analysis, but some trends involving these and other categories are discussed by Hajek et al. (2005, 2007) and Heimpel and Mills (2017).”
• Genome Sequencing and Comparative Transcriptomics of the Model Entomopathogenic Fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and M. acridum (2011, unknown): “poor efficacy compared to chemicals [17].”
• Fungal pathogens as classical biological control agents against arthropods (2010, methodology): “As reported in Hajek et al. (2007a), no documented case has been found in the literature where a fungal pathogen introduced for classical biological control of an insect pest caused substantial mortality to a non-target species or caused negative effects to the environment.”
