A meta-analysis based on the published literature was conducted to evaluate the breadth of host ranges of arthropod pathogens in the fungal subphylum . The majority of pathogens in this subphylum infect insects, although arachnids (especially mites), collembola, and myriapods are also used as hosts. Most species (76%) have specialized host ranges and only infect arthropods in one host family. The breadth of host ranges in the is generally greater for species in more basal groups ( and ), where most species are soil-borne saprobes and few are pathogens. The is a transitionary family in which all species are pathogens and both generalists and specialists occur. Among pathogen-infecting insects, Hemiptera and Diptera are the most commonly infected insect orders. Within the Hemiptera, hosts in the suborder Sternorrhycha were infected by more fungal species than the Auchenorrhyncha and Heteroptera.
基于已发表文献进行了一项荟萃分析，以评估真菌亚门中节肢动物病原体宿主范围的广度。该亚门中的大多数病原体感染昆虫，不过蛛形纲动物（尤其是螨类）、弹尾目动物和多足纲动物也被用作宿主。大多数物种（76%）具有特定的宿主范围，仅感染一个宿主科的节肢动物。在更基部的类群（和）中，宿主范围的广度通常更大，其中大多数物种是土壤传播的腐生菌，很少是病原体。是一个过渡科，其中所有物种都是病原体，既有泛化种也有特化种。在受病原体感染的昆虫中，半翅目和双翅目是最常被感染的昆虫目。在半翅目内，粉虱亚目的宿主比头喙亚目和异翅亚目的宿主感染的真菌物种更多。
