Rearing zombie flies: Laboratory culturing of the behaviourally manipulating fungal pathogen Entomophthora muscae [PDF]
MethodsX, 2023 Insect pathogenic fungi (IPF) and insects have ubiquitous interactions in nature. The extent of these interkingdom host-pathogen interactions are both complex and diverse. Some IPF, notably of the order Entomophthorales, manipulate their species-specific

The genus Entomophthora: bringing the insect destroyers into the twenty-first century [PDF]
IMA Fungus, 2021 The fungal genus Entomophthora consists of highly host-specific pathogens that cause deadly epizootics in their various insect hosts. The most well-known among these is the “zombie fly” fungus E. muscae, which, like other Entomophthora species, elicits a

Signatures of transposon-mediated genome inflation, host specialization, and photoentrainment in Entomophthora muscae and allied entomophthoralean fungi [PDF]
eLifeDespite over a century of observations, the obligate insect parasites within the order Entomophthorales remain poorly characterized at the genetic level. In this manuscript, we present a genome for a laboratory-tractable Entomophthora muscae isolate that

Mycoviruses in Entomopathogenic Fungi [PDF]
VirusesMycoviruses are widely distributed among different groups of filamentous fungi. An awareness of infections caused by mycoviruses was highlighted in the 1980s and 1990s, when the impact of these agents on phenotypes of agriculturally and medically ...

Amended description and new combination for Entomophthora nebriae Raunkiaer, (1893), a little known entomopathogenic fungus attacking the ground beetle Nebria brevicollis (Fabricius, 1792) [PDF]
Alpine Entomology, 2018 A fungus attacking the ground beetle Nebria brevicollis (Fabricius, 1792) (Coleoptera, Carabidae) was collected in north-western Germany. The fungus was identical to Entomophthora nebriae Raunkiaer, 1893 (Entomophthoromycotina, Entomophthoraceae ...

A Mycovirus Representing a Novel Lineage and a Mitovirus of Botrytis cinerea Co-Infect a Basidiomycetous Fungus, Schizophyllum commune [PDF]
VirusesStrain IBc-114 was isolated from a gray mold lesion and was identified as the fungus Schizophyllum commune. In this strain, two mycoviruses, Schizophyllum commune RNA virus 1 (ScRV1, C_AA053475.1) and Botrytis cinerea mitovirus 9 strain IBc-114 (BcMV9 ...

Mitovirus and Mitochondrial Coding Sequences from Basal Fungus Entomophthora muscae
Viruses, 2019 Fungi constituting the Entomophthora muscae species complex (members of subphylum Entomophthoromycotina, phylum Zoopagamycota) commonly kill their insect hosts and manipulate host behaviors in the process.
