A growing awareness of the diversity and ubiquity of microbes (eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and
viruses) associated with larger 'host'organisms has led to the realisation that many diseases …

Fungicolous fungi are a very large, diverse, ecological and trophic group of organisms that
are associated with other fungi. This association occurs with species of different lineages …

Host individuals are often coinfected with diverse parasite assemblages, resulting in
complex interactions among parasites within hosts. Within hosts, priority effects occur when …

Pathogens are embedded in multi‐trophic food webs, which often include co‐occurring
cryptic species within the same pathogen complex. Nonetheless, we still lack an …

Hyperparasitism denotes the natural phenomenon where a parasite infecting a host is in
turn infected by its own parasite. Hyperparasites can shape the dynamics of host-parasite …

Bacteriophages play significant roles in the composition, diversity, and evolution of bacterial
communities. Despite their importance, it remains unclear how phage diversity and phage …

This review paper highlights the significant research conducted on fungi belonging to the
genus Ampelomyces. Phylogeny based on both ITS and actin sequences has grouped …

A total of 26 Ampelomyces strains were isolated from mycelia of six different powdery
mildew species that naturally infected their host plants in Japan. These were characterized …

The aim of this study was to explore the diversity of ectoparasitic fungi (Ascomycota,
Laboulbeniales) that use bat flies (Diptera, Hippoboscoidea) as hosts. Bat flies themselves …

Parasitism is one of the most diverse and abundant modes of life, and of great ecological
and evolutionary importance. Notwithstanding, large groups of parasites remain relatively …
