Evolutionary ecology of an obligate and behaviorally manipulating insect- pathogenic fungus, Entomophthora muscae

2023-03-02

Abstract excerpt

Some insect-pathogenic fungi have evolved the ability to behaviorally manipulate their insect hosts. This has required the fungi to develop intricate mechanisms of infection, proliferation, and behavioral hijacking, which has led to speculation that behaviorally manipulating fungi must only infect a narrow range of hosts. One well-known example is the insect-pathogenic fungus Entomophthora muscae , which infects...
