CUERVO-MULET, Raúl Alberto et al. Labor health risks associated with the use of a bioinsecticide with spores of Beauveria bassiana and Trichoderma lignorum. Entramado [online]. 2018, vol.14, n.2, pp.244-255. ISSN 1900-3803.  https://doi.org/10.18041/1900-3803/entramado.2.4762.

The use of bioinsectidas for the control of pests that attack crops with negative effects to the environment is an issue that has been working worldwide as an alternative to avoid contamination the effects on the health of workers in the agricultural sector: In this sense and to control the arriera ant, a bioinsecticide based on filamentous spores of two entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana and Trichoderma lignorum has been created. In the present systematic literature review, the aim is to identify the health effects that the components of the bioinsecticide formulation may have, including the principal component filamentous spores, the possible effects on the environment and the socioeconomic benefits due to its use, being data on diseases such as abscesses, keratitis and respiratory allergies of immunocompromised people. In investigations carried out it was identified that the filamentous spores can enter the human body by air or mucosa given their approximate size of 0.28 μm can reach the pulmonary alveoli. Environmentally the ecological effects are positive, as well as the economic advantages of this type of agroecological products.
