Entomophthorales (entomopathogens)
This order includes entomopathogenic species which often infect flies. However some species have other hosts or are saprophytic. Often, the asexual conidia are forcibly discharged from the conidiophores and disperse several centimetres, sticking to new hosts or the substrate. The group is characterised by the absence of flagellate spores and by sexual reproduction through the formation of zygospores.
Taxonomic note:
This order is placed here under the Zygomycota. Some authors also recognize the Entomophthoromycota as a separate class.
The following genera and individual species of entomopathogens are currently entered in the system:
