Description
Entomophthora is a type of species within the fungal kingdom that is known to be parasitic towards winged insects such as flies. This pathogen enters the hosts body - fly's body - and slowly begins to develop within this organisms body, this inhibits the fly's body cells to continue to function and develop as per usual. This in turn causes death to the fly as they are unable to function normally.
