Ascosphaera apis is a species of fungus belonging to the family Ascosphaeraceae.[1] It was one of the first entomopathogen genomes to be sequenced.[2] It has a cosmopolitan distribution.[3]
It causes the chalkbrood diseases in bees, which rarely kills infected colonies but can weaken them and lead to reduced honey yields[4] and susceptibility to other pests and diseases.[5]
