The entomopathogenic fungi are organisms that evolved to exploit insects. They comprise a
wide range of morphologically, phylogenetically, and ecologically diverse fungal species …

The relationship between entomopathogenic fungi and their insect hosts is a classic
example of the co-evolutionary arms race between pathogen and target host. The present …

Lineages of insect pathogenic fungi are concentrated in three major clades: Hypocreales
(several genera), Entomophthoromycota (orders Entomophthorales and Neozygitales), and …

Although many insects successfully live in dangerous environments exposed to diverse
communities of microbes, they are often exploited and killed by specialist pathogens …

Fungi are the commonest pathogens of insects and crucial regulators of insect populations.
The rapid advance of genome technologies has revolutionized our understanding of …

Estimates of the number of arthropod species vary between 1,170,000 and 10 million,
accounting for over 80% of all known living animal species. One arthropod subgroup …

Infections mediated by broad host range entomopathogenic fungi represent seminal
observations that led to one of the first germ theories of disease and are a classic example of …

E ntomopathogenic fungi are widely distributed throughout the fungal kingdom, although the
majority occur in the Deuteromycotina and Zygomycotlna'. Some insect-pathogenic fungi …

Insects and fungi have a shared history of association in common habitats where together
they endure similar environmental conditions, but only recently have mycologists and …

Entomopathogenic fungi can invade wide range of insect hosts in the natural world and
