Han, Yanfeng, Yanwei Zhang, Jiandong Liang & Zongqi Liang. Studies on the genus Paecilomyces in China. Application of the DELTA expert system on the entomopathogenic Paecilomyces sensu lato. Mycotaxon 109: 75–84. 2009.

ABSTRACT:  The DELTA expert system was used for the first time to study the genus Paecilomyces. A DELTA database of twenty-four entomopathogenic Paecilomyces in China was established and successfully used to create a key, natural language taxon descriptions, a phenetic tree, and an interactive identification system. These results will provide an effective platform for the exchange of information with both domestic and foreign workers.
