Abstract: BackgroundHirsutella Pat genus, the asexual morphs of the Ophiocordyceps Sung, is globally distributed entomopathogenic fungi, which infect a variety of arthropods, mites and nematodes. The fungal species also have shown potential application in the field of biological control, bio-medicine and food development. Although these fungi are synonymized under Ophiocordyceps, formal taxonomic assignments remain necessary for classification of species in Hirsutella. However, due to the heterogeneity and complexity of… Show more

“…Hirsutella (asexual morphs) species are classified as a host-specific entomopathogenic soil fungus. These species are physiologically and morphologically distinct from Metarhizium and Beauveria, which have over 700 hosts (Qu et al, 2018). Hirsutella thompsonii is a widely studied species from this genus, which is potentially pathogenic toward mites (Tigano et al, 2006).…”

“…In particular, some entomopathogenic fungi related to Cordyceps have been identified, such as Hirsutella and Ophiocordyceps, which have been reported to be symbiotic with plants and a necessary link in the life cycle. Most Cordyceps species are found in forests, river valleys, and alpine regions, which require high air humidity (Qu et al 2018). However, Cordyceps species have not been reported in karst rocky desertification arid regions.…”

“…Hence, several authors have employed divergence time estimates and the study of lineage evolutionary history as criteria to minimise the effects of arbitrary taxonomic systems (Prieto et al 2013;Beimforde et al 2014;Pérez-Ortega et al 2016;Hyde et al 2017). For example, Qu et al (2018)…”
