- extreme degree of host specialization
- Our E. muscae assembly is 1.03 Gb, consists of 7,810 contigs and contains 81.3% complete fungal BUSCOs.
- We find that E. muscae has an expanded group of acid-trehalases, consistent with trehalose being the primary sugar component of fly
- possess genes that are likely homologs to the blue-light sensor white-collar 1, a Neurospora crassa gene that has a well-established role in maintaining circadian rhythms.
- many entomophthoralean fungi change the behavior of their hosts so dramatically that infected individuals are often referred to as “zombies”
