Strongwellsea is a genus of fungi within the order Entomophthorales of the Zygomycota. They are known to infect insects. Infected adult dipteran hosts (flies from Anthomyiidae, Fanniidae, Muscidae, and Scathophagidae families) develop a large hole in their abdomens, through which conidia (spores) are then actively discharged while the hosts are still alive.
