Strongwellsea
''Strongwellsea'' is a genus of fungi within the order Entomophthorales of the Zygomycota. They are known to infect insects. Infected adult dipteran hosts (flies from Anthomyiidae, Fanniidae, Muscidae, and Scathophagidae orders) develop a large hole in their abdomens, through which conidia (spores) are then actively discharged while the hosts are still alive. While most fungi spore once the host is dead, with the ''Strongwellsea'' fungus, the flying host continues to live for days and also socialising with other flies while the fungus consumes its genitals, fat reserves, reproductive organs and then finally its muscle. As it continues to emit thousands of spores on to other individuals and hosts. Then the host fly dies. The method of keeping the host alive while still releasing spores is called active host transmission (AHT). The fungi spores are almost shaped like torpedoes and are designed for going fast (through the air). If they land on another fly host, they stick to the ...

Coenosia
''Coenosia'' is a very large genus of true flies of the family Muscidae. In Denmark, fungi ''Strongwellsea tigrinae'' and ''Strongwellsea acerosa'' (from the ''Strongwellsea'' genus, order Entomophthorales) infect the flying hosts from the genus ''Coenosia''. Including species '' Coenosia tigrina'' and '' Coenosia testacea''. While most fungi spore once the host is dead, with ''Strongwellsea'', the host continues to live for days, carrying out normal activities and socialising with other flies while the fungus consumes its genitals, fat reserves, reproductive organs and finally its muscle, all the while shooting out thousands of spores on to other individuals.

Botanophila Fugax
''Botanophila fugax'' is a species of fly in the family Anthomyiidae. It is found in the Palearctic. The larva is a stem borer. Fungal species ''Strongwellsea crypta'' (from genus '' Strongwellsea'', order Entomophthorales The Entomophthorales are an order (biology), order of fungi that were previously classified in the class Zygomycetes. A new subdivision, Entomophthoromycotina, has recently been circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed for them. Most species of ...) is known to infect ''Botanophila fugax''. It creates abdominal holes in the infected hosts which then develop rapidly and become strikingly large and almost rhomboid in shape.

Entomophthorales
The Entomophthorales are an order (biology), order of fungi that were previously classified in the class Zygomycetes. A new subdivision, Entomophthoromycotina, has recently been circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed for them. Most species of the Entomophthorales are pathogens of insects. A few attack nematodes, mites, and tardigrades, and some (particularly species of the genus ''Conidiobolus'') are free-living saprotrophs. The name Entomophthorales is derived from the Ancient Greek for insect destroyer (''wikt:entomo-, entomo-'' = referring to insects, and ''wikt:phthor, phthor'' = "destruction"). Highlighted species * ''Basidiobolus ranarum'', a commensal fungus of frogs and a mammal pathogen * ''Conidiobolus coronatus'', a saprotrophic fungus of leaf litter and a mammal pathogen * ''Entomophaga maimaiga'', a biocontrol agent of spongy moths * ''Entomophthora muscae'', a pathogen of houseflies * ''Massospora Cicadina, Massospora'' spp., pathogens of periodical cicadas * ...
