Efficacy of a Sanitizer and Disinfectants To Inactivate Encephalitozoon intestinalis Spores

Journal of Food Protection, 2007
The order Microsporidia contains a number of ubiquitous pathogens that can infect various animals, including humans. Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon intestinalis have been associated with gastrointestinal illness in humans. The effect of four disinfectants--ammonium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, and two commercial disinfectants containing ...

Telomere-to-Telomere genome assemblies of human-infecting Encephalitozoon species

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background Microsporidia are diverse spore forming, fungal-related obligate intracellular pathogens infecting a wide range of hosts. This diversity is reflected at the genome level with sizes varying by an order of magnitude, ranging from less than 3 Mb ...

Characterization of a cytosolic aminopeptidase from Encephalitozoon intestinalis

Parasitology, 2002
Aminopeptidase activity was detected in Encephalitozoon intestinalis using a fluorometric assay. The aminopeptidase was capable of hydrolysing different amino acids bound to 7-amino-4-trifluoromethyl coumarin, with maximal activity against the amino acid, leucine. Aminopeptidase activity was localized in E.

Encephalitozoon intestinalis: A new target for auranofin in a mice model

Medical Mycology, 2019
AbstractDespite the fact that many approaches have been developed over years to find efficient and well-tolerated therapeutic regimens for microsporidiosis, the effectiveness of current drugs remains doubtful, and effective drugs against specific targets are still scarce.

First identification and coinfection detection of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Encephalitozoon spp., Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis in diarrheic pigs in Southwest China

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Encephalitozoon spp., Cryptosporidium spp., and Giardia duodenalis (G. intestinalis) are enteric pathogens that cause diarrhea in pigs.

A new method of metabarcoding Microsporidia and their hosts reveals high levels of microsporidian infections in mosquitoes (Culicidae)

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 1486-1504, November 2020., 2020
Abstract DNA metabarcoding offers new perspectives, especially with regard to the high‐throughput identification and diagnostics of pathogens. Microsporidia are an example of widely distributed, opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms in which molecular identification is important for both environmental research and clinical diagnostics.

Chemo‐enzymatic treatment of RNA to facilitate analyses

WIREs RNA, Volume 11, Issue 1, January/February 2020., 2020
Understanding how RNA molecules orchestrate gene expression pathways and malfunction in disease requires investigations of localization, interactions, and dynamics of RNA in living cells. In this review article, we highlight chemo‐enzymatic methods developed to make RNA accessible to analyses.

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.

Quercetin: Its Main Pharmacological Activity and Potential Application in Clinical Medicine

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Quercetin is a flavonoid compound widely present in plants and exhibits a variety of biological activities. Research on quercetin has shown its potential for medical application. In this research, we elucidate its antioxidant mechanism and the broad‐spectrum antibacterial and antiparasite properties; summarise its potential application in antioncology ...

Immunologic and Molecular Characteristics of Encephalitozoon-Like Microsporidia Isolated from Humans and Rabbits Indicate That Encephalitozoon cuniculi Is a Zoonotic Parasite [PDF]

, 1996
To assess the zoonotic potential of Encephalitozoon-like microsporidia, we isolated and cultivated spores from specimens of urine, respiratory secretions, and stool from six patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus and from nine rabbits ...
