Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e2389-e2407, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Tick‐borne zoonoses are emerging globally due to changes in climate and land use. While the zoonotic threats associated with ticks are well studied elsewhere, in Australia, the diversity of potentially zoonotic agents carried by ticks and their significance to human and animal health is not sufficiently understood.

Hijacking time: How Ophiocordyceps fungi could be using ant host clocks to manipulate behavior
Parasite Immunology, Volume 44, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 Abstracts Ophiocordyceps fungi manipulate ant behaviour as a transmission strategy. Conspicuous changes in the daily timing of disease phenotypes suggest that Ophiocordyceps and other manipulators could be hijacking the host clock. We discuss the available data that support the notion that Ophiocordyceps fungi could be hijacking ant host clocks and ...

Statistical modelling of conidial discharge of entomophthoralean fungi using a newly discovered Pandora species [PDF]
, 2019 Entomophthoralean fungi are insect pathogenic fungi and are characterized by their active discharge of infective conidia that infect insects. Our aim was to study the effects of temperature on the discharge and to characterize the variation in the ...

Microbial Community Dynamics in Natural Drosophila melanogaster Populations Across Seasons. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolThe characterisation of fungal and bacterial communities associated with three field populations of Drosophila melanogaster in Germany revealed consistent but also population‐specific changes across seasons. The seasonal microbiota variation was mostly driven by indicator species of Acetobacteraceae bacteria and Saccharomycetales yeasts.

Ineraction between some saprophytic and entomopathogenis fungi
Acta Mycologica, 2014 The studies on interactions between selected entomopathogenic fungi: Beaweria bassiana, Conidiobolus thromboides (= Entomophthora virulenta), Paecilomyces farinosus, Verticillium lecanii and four species of saprophytic fungi were carried out.

Neural mechanisms of parasite-induced summiting behavior in ‘zombie’ Drosophila
eLife, 2023 For at least two centuries, scientists have been enthralled by the “zombie” behaviors induced by mind-controlling parasites. Despite this interest, the mechanistic bases of these uncanny processes have remained mostly a mystery.

Insects, 2013 In temperate regions, insect pathogenic fungi face the challenge of surviving through the winter. Winter is a time when hosts are immobile, low in number or are present in a stage which is not susceptible to infection. Fungi from Entomophthoromycota have
