・We discovered a novel group of fungal symbionts repeatedly evolved from parasitic ancestors, so-called “zombie” fungi in the genus Ophiocordyceps, in diverse Japanese cicada species by extensive field sampling, DNA screening, multi-loci phylogenetic analyses, FISH/electron microscopy, microbial culture and whole/meta-genome sequencing.
