Description

The CEPAVE Collection of Pathogenic and Symbiotic Fungi of Insects and Other Arthropods (CEP) compiles information on 687 fungal strains isolated primarily from infected arthropods in natural environments and agroecosystems throughout Argentina. The collection originated in the late 1980s from surveys of pathogenic fungi from insects of public health and agricultural interest conducted at the Center for Parasitological and Vector Studies (CEPAVE), affiliated with the National University of La Plata and CONICET.The dataset includes records from infected arthropods, soil samples, and water bodies, collected in protected and open-field agricultural systems, urban areas, protected natural environments, and aquatic ecosystems. The preserved strains belong mainly to the phyla Ascomycota, Entomophthoromycota, and Oomycota, including entomopathogenic fungi, facultative saprophytes, symbionts, and species with biotechnological potential.The collection houses three native type strains: Metarhizium argentinense, Conidiobolus lunulus, and Herpomyces spegazzinii. Additionally, some of the registered strains have been molecularly identified, and their germplasm has been preserved using various conservation methods, including deep-freezing, lyophilization, silica gel, sterile distilled water, and sterile filter paper.This dataset serves as a reference resource for studies on fungal biodiversity, taxonomy, ecology, the conservation of genetic resources, and the development of applications in biological control and biotechnology.

Couverture géographique

The strains in the collection were isolated from 15 provinces in Argentina and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA). The surveys cover conventional, agroecological, and organic agricultural settings; greenhouse and field crops; urban areas; protected natural environments; and aquatic ecosystems. The records include samples obtained from arthropods infected in the field, as well as from soil and water bodies associated with various terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Description du domaine détude / de recherche Management and strengthening of biological collections and their associated information systems to ensure the preservation and availability of biodiversity resources for scientific research.
Description du design This project focuses on the long-term sustainability of the “Collection of Pathogenic and Symbiotic Fungi of Insects and Other Arthropods” through the preservation and maintenance of both fungal genetic resources and their associated materials and metadata. The project includes actions aimed at improving the management, documentation, and long-term accessibility of the collection. A major component of the project involves the implementation of tools for the standardization, digitization, and public dissemination of biodiversity information associated with the collection. These actions are intended to enhance the value and usability of the collection, which serves as a reference center for species identification, strain certification, research and teaching activities, technology transfer, third-party services, strain deposition, biodiversity preservation, and germplasm conservation.

Méthodes déchantillonnage

Fungal isolates were obtained through field sampling and laboratory isolation procedures from a variety of substrates, including arthropods, soil, and plants. The collection comprises entomopathogenic fungi as well as other fungal taxa preserved as living cultures. Isolates were incorporated through multiple research projects, surveys, and diagnostic activities conducted over several years. Samples were collected by researchers, technical staff and students of the laboratory, as well as by collaborators from other research institutions and private sector agents. Taxonomic identification was performed using morphological characteristics and, when available, molecular data. All isolates were incorporated into the collection following institutional preservation and documentation procedures.

Etendue de létude Records of Argentine fungal strains preserved in the CEPAVE Collection of Pathogenic and Symbiotic Fungi of Insects and Other Arthropods.
Contrôle qualité Taxonomic names were reviewed and standardized according to current nomenclatural references using fungal taxonomic databases. Collection dates and collector information were verified. Geographic coordinates were validated using the InfoXY tool from the speciesLink network (CRIA). Dataset records were checked for consistency, completeness, duplicate entries, and formatting errors prior to publication.

Description des étapes de la méthode:

  1. Collection records were compiled from the institutional culture collection database using Microsoft Excel and R scripts. Metadata associated with each strain, including taxonomy, isolation source, collection locality, collection date, collector, and identifier, was thoroughly reviewed and standardized. Taxonomic names were validated against current nomenclatural references using Index Fungorum and MycoBank, while geographic coordinates were verified and validated through the InfoXY tool from the speciesLink network (CRIA). Dataset records were checked for consistency, completeness, duplicate entries, and formatting errors prior to being mapped to Darwin Core terms for GBIF publication.
