Some fungal entomopathogens are opportunistic whereas some have evolved into highly specific pathogens of insects. [ 1 ] Entomopathogenic fungi all typically disperse through the environment through the use of microscopic spores (usually asexual or Conidia ) that commonly use hydrophobins and adhesins to attach to and recognize the host cuticle ...
Entomophaga is a genus of entomopathogenic fungi in the Entomophthoraceae family and also the order Entomophthorales. [2] This has been supported by molecular phylogenetic analysis (Gryganskyi et al. 2012).

The insect disease caused by the fungus is a muscardine which has been called white muscardine disease. When the microscopic spores of the fungus come into contact with the body of an insect host, they germinate, penetrate the cuticle, and grow inside, killing the insect within a matter of days. Afterwards, a white mold emerges from the cadaver ...
Propylea 14-punctata is entomophagous (insect-eating). It feeds on aphids, Aleyrodidae, Coccoidea, and on the larvae and eggs of some beetles and butterflies [8] The females lay about 400 eggs; this is necessary as there is often a high mortality among the larvae. The adult beetles overwinter twice.
Paecilomyces hepiali is an entomophagous fungus. Based on 18S rDNA sequencing, this species is distinct from Ophiocordyceps sinensis. [1] Samsoniella hepiali is defined by NCBI as a homotypic synonym of P. hepiali. [2] Further work on the classification of this species was described in 2020. [3]
