Masters of the Manipulator? A Comparative Genomics Study of Niveomyces gen. nov. and Two New Species of Mycoparasites Associated with Ophiocordyceps Camponoti-Floridani

2021-04-28

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> Fungal hyperparasites can impact ecosystem composition and disease dynamics by modulating their parasite hosts’ population size and transmission rate. Despite their perceived ecosystem impacts and potential to be applied in disease control efforts, hyperparasites are vastly understudied. In this integrative study we formally describe a new genus and two new mycoparasite species that inf...
