Sleeping Beauties: Horizontal Transmission via Resting Spores of Species in the Entomophthoromycotina
Many of the almost 300 species of arthropod-pathogenic fungi in the Entomophthoromycotina (Zoopagomycota) are known for being quite host-specific and are able to cause epizootics. Most species produce two main types of spores, conidia and resting spores. Here, we present a review of the epizootiolog...
