Several species of Paecilomyces, including P. farinosus, P. fumosoroseus, P. tenuipes, and P. lilacinus, have been developed as biocontrol agents of insects and other invertebrates. Paecilomyces lilacinus, a nematode pathogen (Esser and El-Gholl, 1993 Bissett, 1979), may cause opportunistic infection in humans (Blackwell et al., 2000 Itin et al., 1998).
