Evolutionary relationships among <i>Massospora</i> spp. (Entomophthorales), obligate pathogens of cicadas

2019-10-21

Abstract excerpt

The fungal genus Massospora (Zoopagomycota: Entomophthorales) includes more than a dozen obligate, sexually transmissible pathogenic species that infect cicadas (Hemiptera) worldwide. At least two species are known to produce psychoactive compounds during infection, which has garnered considerable interest for this enigmatic genus. As with many Entomophthorales, the evolutionary relationships and host association...
