Lecanicillium longisporum is a type of sac fungus from the Cordycipitaceae family . The species wasdescribedas Cephalosporium longisporum in 1925and has a worldwide distribution.
ecology
Lecanicillium longisporum is an insect infecting pathogen . A parasitism of other fungi is described. So the species is not restricted to insects, but is usually isolated from the ground or other fungi.
The hosts become infected when they come in contact with the sticky spores . These germinate and enter the insect's body mechanically or through hydrolysis of the cell walls, where they consume the internal organs and ultimately lead to the death of the hosts.
Taxonomy
Lecanicillium longisporum is the accepted scientific name of an entomopathogenic (insect infesting) fungus that was previously widely known as Verticillium lecanii (Zimmerman) Viegas, but is now considered an anamorphic of a species of the Cordyceps genus within the Cordycipitaceae family. It appears that the primary isolates previously classified as V. lecanii could belong to the species L. attenuatum , L. lecanii , L. longisporum , L. muscarium or L. nodulosum .
Synonyms
The following synonyms are known:
- Cephalosporium longisporum Petch
- Verticillium aphidum (Oudem.) Westerd.
use
The primary isolates of Lecanicillium longisporum for horticulture and agriculture (GCRI 1-72; IMI 179172) were first obtained by Hall & Burges (1979) at the Glasshouse Crops Research Institute (now part of the School of Life Sciences at the University of Warwick ). L. longisporum is now marketed as 'Vertalec'. 'Vertalec', which is based on the IMI 179172 strain, was first registered as a brand name in the UK.
