Despite substantial efforts to control locusts they remain periodically a major burden in Africa, causing severe yield loss and hence loss of food and income. Distribution maps indicating the value of the basic reproduction number R0 was used to identify

Complete mitogenome of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium rileyi [PDF]
In this study, the complete mitogenome of an entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium rileyi was assembled and annotated. This circular mitogenome was 62,514 bp in length and consisted of 2 rRNA genes, 25 tRNA genes, 14 standard protein-coding genes of the oxidative phosphorylation system, and seven intergenic ORFs. Seven genes were invaded by a total of 22
