Entomopathogenic Fungi as Mortality Agents in Insect Populations: A Review [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Natural enemies play a key role in population dynamics of insects and exert significant selective pressures on various traits of these animals. Although there is a wealth of empirical and theoretical research on predators and parasitoids, the ecological ...

Entomophthorales fungus: Entomophthora, Zoophthora and Conidiobolus

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 1993
The paper shows mushroom species of the Entomophthoraceae family known as ";auxiliaries"; of plants. Their classification from the systematic point of view in genera, subgenera and species is a matter of controversy. Morphological and ecological problems

Concurrent Infections of Conidiobolus Coronatus with Disseminated Tuberculosis Presenting as Bilateral Orbital Cellulitis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Zygomycetes species contains two orders of organisms that infect humans, namely Mucorales and Entomophthorales. Entomophthorales cause chronic infection in immunocompetent patients, invading subcutaneous tissues but are non-angioinvasive. This includes

Long noncoding RNAs are potentially involved in the degeneration of virulence in an aphid-obligate pathogen, Conidiobolus obscurus (Entomophthoromycotina)

Virulence, 2021
Virulence attenuation frequently occurs in in vitro culturing of pathogenic microbes. In this study, we investigated the total putative long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in an aphid-obligate pathogen, Conidiobolus obscurus, and screened the differentially ...
