Logistic growth of the host‐specific obligate insect pathogenic fungus Entomophthora muscae in house flies (Musca domestica)

2017-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Insect pathogenic fungi (IPF) need to overcome the host immune system in order to sporulate and ensure transmission to new hosts. Some IPF produce immunosuppressive toxins, whereas others rely on rapid fungal proliferation to kill the host by sheer fungal mass, resulting in a trade‐off between allocating resources to toxin production and fungal proliferation. The obligate entomopathogenic fungus, Entomophthora mus...
