Susceptibility of Encephalitozoon cuniculi to several drugs in vitro [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1995
In the light of the increased incidence of human Encephalitozoon infections and the absence of an established treatment protocol, a simple in vitro testing method to compare activities of drugs against Encephalitozoon cuniculi was developed. With this in vitro method, the 50% inhibitory concentrations of fumagillin, thiabendazole, albendazole ...

Occurrence and Molecular Characteristics of Microsporidia in Captive Red Pandas (Ailurus fulgens) in China

Animals, 2023
Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon spp. are microsporidian pathogens with zoonotic potential that pose significant public health concerns. To ascertain the occurrence and genotypes of E.

Propagation of Encephalitozoon cuniculi in tick cell lines supports the plausibility of possible tick-mediated transmission of this microsporidian

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Microsporidia, obligate intracellular parasitic fungi, are increasingly associated with asymptomatic infections. One of the most prevalent zoonotic species, Encephalitozoon cuniculi, has been detected in Ixodes ricinus ticks.

Intraocular microsporidiosis due to Encephalitozoon cuniculi in a patient with idiopathic CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia

, 2005
Encephalitozoon cuniculi was documented to cause disseminated microsporidial infection including an iris tumor and endophthalmitis in an adolescent with idiopathic CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia.

First Report of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Encephalitozoon spp. and Blastocystis spp. in Hair Goats in Türkiye

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Blastocystis spp., Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon spp. are prevalent zoonotic gastrointestinal parasites that cause severe diarrhoea and enteric diseases in humans and animals worldwide. This study investigated the molecular occurrence, genetic diversity and zoonotic potential of E. bieneusi, Blastocystis spp.

Serological survey of Encephalitozoon cuniculi in farm rabbits in Italy

, 2009
Rabbit sera (n=1600) from 40 commercial farms were submitted to a serological screening for Encephalitozoon cuniculi by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a carbon immunoassay (CIA test).

Characterisation of Encephalitozoon cuniculi a-actinin

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology
The Encephaliozoon cuniculi is an obligate intracellular microsporidian parasite with a highly reduced genome, yet it contains several key components of an actin cytoskeleton. In this study, we characterise the α-actinin-like protein from the parasite to gain insight into its role in actin organisation.

Anthropogenic Hotspots and Wild Vertebrates Shape Microsporidian Diversity and Zoonotic Risk in a Rapidly Warming High Arctic

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Metabarcoding of High Arctic wildlife feces revealed diverse microsporidians, including three ASVs matching recognized human‐pathogenic species. Zoonotic microsporidian DNA was detected more frequently in human‐influenced than remote areas, highlighting the potential importance of anthropogenic activity and wildlife connectivity in shaping pathogen ...

Comparative Analysis of Codon Usage Bias Patterns in Microsporidian Genomes.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The sub-3 Mbp genomes from microsporidian species of the Encephalitozoon genus are the smallest known among eukaryotes and paragons of genomic reduction and compaction in parasites.

Quaternary structures of Streptococcus pneumoniae nucleoside diphosphate kinase: From hexamers to supramolecular assemblies

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) is a key enzyme that controls the balance of nucleotide pools in all living organisms. Beyond this fundamental role, NDKs exert pleiotropic effects in many cellular processes, including cell development, signal transduction, differentiation, tumor metastasis, and gene expression. The quaternary structure
