N2 - Increased production of insects on a large scale for food and feed will likely lead to many novel challenges, includingproblems with diseases. We provide an overview of important groups of insect pathogens, which can cause diseasein insects produced for food and feed. Main characteristics of each pathogen group (viruses, bacteria, fungi, protistsand nematodes) are described and illustrated, with a selection of examples from the most commonly produced insectspecies for food and feed. Honeybee and silkworm are mostly produced for other reasons than as human food, yetwe can still use them as examples to learn about emergence of new diseases in production insects. Results from a2014 survey about insect diseases in current insect production systems are presented for the first time. Finally, wegive some recommendations for the prevention and control of insect diseases.Key words: disease control, insect diseases, insects for food and feed, insect pathogens
