Abstract
Invasive arthropod species cause ever-increasing economic, environmental and public health problems. Microbes (i.e. viruses, bacteria, fungi, nematodes and protists) have been used very successfully for eradicating and controlling a range of invasive arthropods in diverse ecosystems worldwide. Many eradication and control programs using microbes have used inundative augmentation (widespread application) approaches while some control programs have instead focused on classical biological control (point release and natural spread). This chapter provides a short history of past use of microbes for control of invasive arthropods as well as an introduction to the subjects that will be covered in this book.
