Abstract: Microsporidium is an important pathogenic microbe, and regarded as an important bio-agent for controlling insect pests. In this paper, advances in research and application of microsporidium was reviewed, including the specific structure and biological characteristics of microsporidium, the types of life history and conditions of development and growth of microsporidium, systematic evolution of microsporidium, the differences of genomes from different microsporidium, the pathogenic mechanism and effectiveness factors of microsporidium, and the history, status and trends of controlling insect pests with microsporidium. The paper provided helpful data for future study and application of microsporidium.

Key words: entomopathogeny, microsporidium, biocontrol
