Interactions and Community Structure of Fungi and Prokaryotes in Salt and Brackish Marsh Ecosystems

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
Microbial communities drive biogeochemical cycling in salt and brackish marshes, yet fungal‐prokaryotic interactions remain understudied. This study used 16S and 28S rRNA metabarcoding and network analyses to examine microbial communities in North Inlet salt marsh and Winyah Bay brackish marsh.

Microbiome Analysis of the Bamboo Aphid Melanaphis bambusae Infected with the Aphid Obligate Pathogen Conidiobolus obscurus (Entomophthoromycotina)

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Insect-associated microbes exert diverse effects on host fitness. This study provides insights into the microbiota of the bamboo aphid, Melanaphis bambusae, and their response to Conidiobolus obscurus infection. 16S rRNA and ITS sequencing data were used

Insect pathogenic fungi in biological control: status and future challenges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In Europe, insect pathogenic fungi have in decades played a significant role in biological control of insects. With respect to the different strategies of biological control and with respects to the different genera of insect pathogenic fungi, the ...

Use of Fungi for Pest Control in Sustainable Agriculture [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The registration procedures for microbial pesticides have been based by and large on those developed for registration of chemical pesticides. However, fungi as living organisms differ in many aspects from inert substances.

Effect of Pest Control Strategies on Arthropod Pests of Apple in Europe: A Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 957-987, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a major fruit crop in Europe. More than 200 phytophagous arthropod species thrive in European apple orchards, several of which are economically important pests. Due to the pest pressure on apple production, consumer demand for residue‐free products and current policies to make food production in the European ...

Conidiobolus pachyzygosporus invasive pulmonary infection in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia: case report and review of the literature

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background Conidiobolus spp. (mainly C. coronatus) are the causal agents of rhino-facial conidiobolomycosis, a limited soft tissue infection, which is essentially observed in immunocompetent individuals from tropical areas.

Evidence of Spatial Synchrony in the Spread of an Invasive Forest Pest

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2025.
Although synchrony in population growth rates and abundance is ubiquitous across many taxa, this study demonstrates a new manifestation of this phenomenon, that of spatial synchrony in range expansion. Just as climatic drivers can produce synchrony in population growth or abundance, we show that synchronised fluctuations in seasonal climate conditions,

Classification and infection mechanism of entomopathogenic fungi

open access: yesArquivos do Instituto Biológico, 2018
: Entomopathogenic fungi are important biological control agents throughout the world, have been the subject of intensive research for more than 100 years, and can occur at epizootic or enzootic levels in their host populations.

Entomopathogenic fungi – a fascinating field of research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Mehr als 800 Arten von Pilzen sind als Pathogene von Insekten und anderen Arthropoden beschrieben (Tab. 1). Ohne Zweifel stellen diese Arten erst einen Bruchteil der tatsächlich existierenden Arten dar.
