“…The dimensions of the spores and the number of nuclei per spore are for both species in agreement with the species in the E. muscae complex (MacLeod et al 1976, Ben-Ze'ev & Zelig 1984. As shown in the tables, the two fungi belong, however, to separate groups within the E. rnuscae complex, but in both cases, insects from Diptera could be found on the same localities with similar fungi.…”

“…consists of species with "campanulate" primary spores (papillate apex and truncate papilla), containing several nuclei per spore (Batko 1964, Remaudiere & Keller 1980, Humber 1981. In a review of this genus, MacLeod et al (1976) recognized 5 valid species. Since then, more species have been described, and Ben-Ze'ev & Zelig (1984) gave a list of 9 species.…”

Adults of Cantharis livida (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) and of Torymus druparum (Hymenoptera: Torymidae) were found naturally infected by fungi from the Entomophthorales in Denmark. The morphology of the primary spores of the two fungi clearly showed that they belong to the genus Entomophthora s.str. No species from this genus has been reported so far from these insect orders. With respect to spore size and number of nuclei per spore, the fungi fall within the range of species from the E. muscae complex, known only from Diptera. A transfer of the fungus from T. druparum to Psila rosae (Diptera: Psilidae) was however possible. The findings thus confirm a significant widening of the host range of species within the E. muscae complex.

“…Fungal infections produced similar symptoms in both fly hosts, which are typical for those described for E. muscae and related fly-infecting species ( Fig. 2 – 4 , Text S1 ) [6]. We compared the size of conidia (length and width) and number of nuclei in conidia found in Delia and Coenosia , traits which are essential for the identification of Entomophthora species [1], [6].…”

“…The number of species in the genus Entomophthora has not been completely determined, and E. muscae can be considered to be a species complex consisting of several genetically distinct species that are difficult to distinguish morphologically [3], [5]. This species infects hosts from a range of fly families: Anthomyiidae, Calliphoridae, Drosophilidae, Empididae, Muscidae (the most typical hosts), Sarcophagidae and Syrphidae [6]. The E. muscae species complex has been split into four groups based on the number and size of conidial nuclei, size of conidia, and host affinity; this has resulted in the recognition of several species in this species complex including E. scatophagae and E. schizophorae [4], [7]–[9].…”

Sequential Utilization of Hosts from Different Fly Families by Genetically Distinct, Sympatric Populations within the Entomophthora muscae Species Complex

et al. 2013

The fungus Entomophthora muscae (Entomophthoromycota, Entomophthorales, Entomophthoraceae) is a widespread insect pathogen responsible for fatal epizootic events in many dipteran fly hosts. During epizootics in 2011 and 2012 in Durham, North Carolina, we observed a transition of fungal infections from one host, the plant-feeding fly Delia radicum, to a second host, the predatory fly Coenosia tigrina. Infections first appeared on Delia in the middle of March, but by the end of May, Coenosia comprised 100% of infected hosts. Multilocus sequence typing revealed that E. muscae in Durham comprises two distinct subpopulations (clades) with several haplotypes in each. Fungi from either clade are able to infect both fly species, but vary in their infection phenologies and host-specificities. Individuals of the more phylogenetically diverse clade I predominated during the beginning of the spring epizootic, infecting mostly phytophagous Delia flies. Clade II dominated in late April and May and affected mostly predatory Coenosia flies. Analysis of population structure revealed two subpopulations within E. muscae with limited gene exchange. This study provides the first evidence of recombination and population structure within the E. muscae species complex, and illustrates the complexity of insect-fungus relationships that should be considered for development of biological control methods.
