Zoophthora
''Zoophthora'' is a genus of fungi in the family Entomophthoraceae. Like other taxa in this family, ''Zoophthora'' species cause disease in insects and as such are considered entomopathogenic fungi. Like most entomopathogenic fungal taxa, ''Zoophthora'' has been studied largely in the context of biological control of insect pest species. However, recent research indicates that many fungal taxa that have historically been considered entomopathogenic (e.g., ''Zoophthora'') may serve diverse ecological roles as free-living members of the rhizosphere, as endophytes of plant tissue, and as saprobes. History The genus ''Zoophthora'' was first formally described by Batko in 1964; however, in 1966 Batko divided ''Zoophthora'' into four sub-genera. In 1989 Humber promoted Batko's four sub-genera to a single genus: ''Zoophthora''. Recent systematic research has yielded support for the monophyly of ''Zoophthora'', as well as its distinctness at the generic level. Life cycle ''Zoophth ...
