Revisions to the Classification, Nomenclature, and Diversity of Eukaryotes

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 4-119, January/February 2019., 2019
Abstract This revision of the classification of eukaryotes follows that of Adl et al., 2012 [J. Euk. Microbiol. 59(5)] and retains an emphasis on protists. Changes since have improved the resolution of many nodes in phylogenetic analyses. For some clades even families are being clearly resolved.

First records of aphid-pathogenic Entomophthorales in the sub-Antarctic archipelagos of Crozet and Kerguelen

Polar Research, 2016
Since the 20th century, the sub-Antarctic islands have suffered an increasing number of biological invasions. Despite the large number of publications on this topic, there is a lack of knowledge on parasitism rates of invasive species and on the role of ...

Evolutionary History of Terrestrial Pathogens and Endoparasites as Revealed in Fossils and Subfossils

Advances in Biology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The present work uses fossils and subfossils to decipher the origin and evolution of terrestrial pathogens and endoparasites. Fossils, as interpreted by morphology or specific features of their hosts, furnish minimum dates for the origin of infectious agents, coevolution with hosts, and geographical locations.

Deadly Decomposers: Distinguishing Life History Strategies on the Parasitism‐Saprotrophy Spectrum

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2025.
Despite being widespread, common, and important to medicine and agriculture, parasitic decomposers are poorly understood. Drawing on literature spanning bacteria to animals, we show that these deadly decomposers follow similar life history strategies regardless of taxon. We define four such strategies, providing diverse biological examples and deriving

Virulence of Two Entomophthoralean Fungi, Pandora neoaphidis and Entomophthora planchoniana, to Their Conspecific (Sitobion avenae) and Heterospecific (Rhopalosiphum padi) Aphid Hosts

Insects, 2019
Pandora neoaphidis and Entomophthora planchoniana (phylum Entomophthoromycota) are important fungal pathogens on cereal aphids, Sitobion avenae and Rhopalosiphum padi.

Latitudinal Clines in Climate and Sleep Patterns Shape Disease Outcomes in Drosophila melanogaster Infected by Metarhizium anisopliae

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
We examined how environmental and genetic factors influence the ability of Drosophila melanogaster populations to defend themselves against a common fly pathogen. Tropical flies, particularly males and virgins (of either sex) slept more and were more resistant to disease than seasonal populations, indicating that geographical location, sex, mating ...

A Global Systematic Review on the Potential of Metal‐Based Nanoparticles in the Fight Against Mosquito Vectors

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Mosquito‐borne diseases, such as malaria, filariasis, dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and other viral infections, pose significant public health challenges worldwide. For many years, chemical insecticides were used in the form of indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide‐treated nets (ITNs).

Sequential utilization of hosts from different fly families by genetically distinct, sympatric populations within the Entomophthora muscae species complex.

PLoS ONE, 2013
The fungus Entomophthora muscae (Entomophthoromycota, Entomophthorales, Entomophthoraceae) is a widespread insect pathogen responsible for fatal epizootic events in many dipteran fly hosts. During epizootics in 2011 and 2012 in Durham, North Carolina, we
