Exploratory study of bioinsecticides incorporated in extracellular vesicles for sustainable pest insect control

The PacBioPest project aims to develop sustainable bioinsecticides using insecticide peptides from entomopathogenic nematodes encapsulated in extracellular vesicles produced by bacteria in bioreactors. This innovative approach aims to replace chemical pesticides by offering an environmentally friendly, efficient and safe solution for the control of agricultural pests, protecting the environment, biodiversity and human health.
