ARS Collection of Entomopathogenic Fungal Cultures (ARSEF)

NOTE: Due to security issues, the ARSEF database search function is not currently available and we are transitioning to a site on the ARS-AZURE cloud. Please contact the curator ([e-mail]) if you need information about specific groups or a custom search of the database that can be sent via e-mail. Printed PDF catalogues of all isolates and other information about the collection are available on the ARSEF website at https://www.ars.usda.gov/northeast-area/ithaca-ny/robert-w-holley-center-for-agriculture-health/emerging-pests-and-pathogens-research/docs/mycology/
The Agricultural Research Service Collection of Entomopathogenic Fungal Cultures is the world's largest, most kaleidoscopic, and most comprehensive collection of living cultures of fungi that are pathogenic to or associated with insects, spiders, mites, ticks, and other invertebrates. Some isolates in the collection are not themselves invertebrate pathogens but are critically important for the improvements of taxonomies and systematics for the many diverse groups of fungi represented here. As of July 2016, ARSEF maintains more than 13000 isolates of more than 700 taxa of fungi isolated from 1300 hosts collected at more than 2400 locations on every continent.
The database is searchable by Fungi, Hosts, Locations, Provenance, or Accessions. Results are provided in PDF format.
Catalog files are in the Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format and are readable with the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
All catalogs and live searches of isolate data incorporate the most current supportable taxonomies for ARSEF fungi. Significant changes in the nomenclatural rules for many fungi have a large and ongoing impact on the entomopathogens in the order Hypocreales. These changes are discussed the introductory material in the catalogs.
If you are unsure about the most current identifications for isolates, online searches of ARSEF accessions return taxonomic information in the collection database at the moment of the search.

鉴于安全考虑，ARSEF数据库的搜索功能目前无法使用，我们正在过渡至ARS-AZURE云平台上的新站点。如需获取有关特定群体或定制数据库搜索的信息，请通过电子邮件联系馆员（[e-mail]）。所有菌株的印刷PDF目录以及关于该收藏的其他信息均可在ARSEF网站上获取，网址为https://www.ars.usda.gov/northeast-area/ithaca-ny/robert-w-holley-center-for-agriculture-health/emerging-pests-and-pathogens-research/docs/mycology/。

农业研究服务局昆虫病原真菌菌株收藏是世界上规模最大、色彩斑斓且最为全面的活体真菌菌株收藏，这些真菌对昆虫、蜘蛛、蜱、螨以及其他无脊椎动物具有致病性或相关性。该收藏中的一些菌株本身并非无脊椎动物病原体，但对于许多不同真菌群体的分类学和系统学的改进至关重要。截至2016年7月，ARSEF维护着超过13,000个菌株，涵盖700多个真菌分类群，这些菌株均来自1,300个宿主，采集地点遍布全球超过2,400处。

数据库可通过真菌、宿主、地点、来源或存取号进行搜索。搜索结果以PDF格式提供。

目录文件以Adobe Acrobat（PDF）格式存储，并可使用Adobe Acrobat Reader进行阅读。

所有目录及菌株数据的实时搜索均纳入了ARSEF真菌的最新可支持分类学。许多真菌的命名规则的重大变化对双核菌目中的昆虫病原体产生了巨大且持续的影响。这些变化在目录的导言材料中有所讨论。

如果您对菌株的最新鉴定存在疑虑，在线搜索ARSEF存取号可在搜索时刻返回收藏数据库中的分类学信息。
