A catalogue of classical biological control introductions of entomopathogens (fungi, microsporidia, viruses, bacteria, and one oomycete) and nematodes attacking arthropod pests, updated from a 2005 first edition, was published in 2016. This paper summarizes and discusses the 2016 catalogue. Classical biological control with pathogens or nematodes has been used to target insect or mite pests in 55 countries. A total of 164 release programs using 49 species or isolates of entomopathogens and nematodes for control of more than 85 target pest species were included in the analysis. For the 119 programs where results after release were reported, 71% of agents became established, and of those that established 51% resulted in successful control of the target pest and an additional 36% provided partial control. The most frequent pathogen groups used have been fungi, viruses, and nematodes, and the most frequent target hosts have been Coleoptera and Hemiptera. Releases of viruses were most successful at establishing (97%). The great success of some programs using pathogens highly specific to pest species suggests that this strategy should be further explored.

2016年发布了自2005年第一版以来更新的昆虫病原体（真菌，小孢子虫，病毒，细菌和一种卵菌）和线虫侵袭节肢动物害虫的经典生物防治方法目录。本文概述并讨论了2016年目录。在55个国家/地区中，经典的病原体或线虫生物防治技术已被用来针对昆虫或螨虫。分析共包括164个释放程序，这些程序使用49种昆虫病原体和线虫病或线虫分离株来控制85种以上的目标有害生物。在报告释放后结果的119个程序中，确立了71％的病原体，而建立了51％的病原体成功控制了目标害虫，另外36％的病原体得到了部分控制。使用的最常见的病原体是真菌，病毒和线虫，最常见的目标宿主是鞘翅目和半翅目。病毒的释放最成功（97％）。一些使用高度针对害虫物种的病原体的计划取得了巨大成功，这表明应进一步探索这一策略。
