Characterisation of Metarhizium majus (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) isolated from the Western Cape province, South Africa [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2020 AbstractEntomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are important soil-dwelling entomopathogens, which can be used as biocontrol agents against pest insects. During a survey of the orchard soil at an organic farm, the EPF were identified to species level, using both morphological and molecular techniques.

Ergot Alkaloids of the Family Clavicipitaceae [PDF]
Phytopathology®, 2017 Ergot alkaloids are highly diverse in structure, exhibit diverse effects on animals, and are produced by diverse fungi in the phylum Ascomycota, including pathogens and mutualistic symbionts of plants. These mycotoxins are best known from the fungal family Clavicipitaceae and are named for the ergot fungi that, through millennia, have contaminated ...

Development of a PCR-based mating-type assay for Clavicipitaceae [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2004 This study developed a PCR-based mating-type assay for Clavicipitaceae. PCR primer sets for the mating-type genes MAT1-1-1 and MAT1-2-1 were designed based on the amino acid sequences of the conserved alpha and HMG boxes, respectively. The PCR-based mating-type assay could be applied for various clavicipitaceous genera (Balansia, Claviceps, Cordyceps ...

Susceptibility of three orthopteran species to infection by Metarhizium acridum (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) [PDF]
International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2018 AbstractOutbreaks of three orthopteran species—Tropidacris collaris(Stoll),Cornops frenatum frenatum(Marschall) andParascopas obesus(Giglio-Tos)—occurred in three different regions of Brazil during the summers of 2012 and 2013. Insects were observed causing severe damage in commercial crops and subsistence farming areas.

Influence of Wireworm Diet on its Susceptibility to and Control With the Entomopathogenic FungusMetarhizium brunneum(Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) in Laboratory and Field Settings [PDF]
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2022 Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) represent promising control agents against wireworms but success in field experiments is inconsistent. The physiological condition of the targeted insect is crucial for its ability to withstand fungal infection. In particular,
