Checklist of naturally occurring entomopathogenic microbes and nematodes in New Zealand

Abstract
A checklist of records of naturally occurring insect-pathogenic microbes and nematodes in New Zealand is presented. All records are listed by pathogen group (fungi, bacteria, protozoa, viruses, rickettsia, and nematodes) and also by host insect order and species. Each record is referenced to the original author, and important subsequent references have been included, where appropriate. The checklist should be updated periodically to assist researchers.
