Atlas of Hypocrealean Invertebrate-Pathogenic Fungi of Thailand

Hypocreales, a highly diverse fungal order, encompasses numerous families with genera exhibiting pathogenicity towards invertebrates. Our research compiles a comprehensive survey of invertebrate-pathogenic hypocrealean fungi collected in Thailand over the last two decades, representing over two hundred species. For each species, we provide detailed descriptions of macro-and microscopic morphological features, high-resolution photographic documentation, host and habitat information, and geographical distribution within Thailand. To gain a comprehensive understanding of their phylogenetic relationships, molecular phylogenetic data using combined SSU, LSU, rpb1, rpb2, and tef1 sequences were used to validate species identifications and establish phylogenetic context.
