Insertion of an esterase gene into a specific locust pathogen (Metarhizium acridum) enables it to infect caterpillars.
An enduring theme in pathogenic microbiology is poor understanding of the mechanisms of host specificity. Metarhizium is a cosmopolitan genus of invertebrate pathogens that contains generalist species with broad host ranges such as M. robertsii (formerly known as M. anisopliae var. anisopliae) as we...
