Beauveria bassiana
''Beauveria bassiana'' is a fungus that grows naturally in soils throughout the world and acts as a parasite on various arthropod species, causing white muscardine disease; it thus belongs to the entomopathogenic fungi. It is being used as a biological insecticide to control a number of pests such as termites, thrips, whiteflies, aphids and different beetles. Its use in the control of bedbugs and malaria-transmitting mosquitos is under investigation.〔Donald G. McNeil Jr., (Fungus Fatal to Mosquito May Aid Global War on Malaria ), ''The New York Times'', 10 June 2005〕
==Discovery and name==
The species is named after the Italian entomologist Agostino Bassi, who discovered it in 1815 as the cause of the muscardine disease which then led to carriers transmitting it by airborne means. It was formerly also known as ''Tritirachium shiotae''. The name ''B. bassiana'' has long been used to describe a species complex of morphologically similar and closely related isolates. Rehner and Buckley have shown that ''B. bassiana'' consists of many distinct lineages that should be recognized as distinct phylogenetic species and the genus ''Beauveria'' was redescribed with a proposed type for ''B. bassiana'' in 2011. In light of this work and the known existence of cryptic species, it is important to characterise isolates used to develop biological insecticides.
