Genome evolution in intracellular parasites: Microsporidia and Apicomplexa

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract Microsporidia and Apicomplexa are eukaryotic, single‐celled, intracellular parasites with huge public health and economic importance. Typically, these parasites are studied separately, emphasizing their uniqueness and diversity. In this review, we explore the huge amount of genomic data that has recently become available for the two groups. We

Microsporidia, including Encephalitozoon intestinalis, are emerging pathogens which cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients, such as those with AIDS, cancer, the elderly and people on immunosuppressive drugs.

Genomics and phylogenetic relationships of microsporidia and their relatives

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract Microsporidia are intracellular parasites that all possess a unique infection apparatus involving a polar tube. Upon contact with a host cell, this tube forms the conduit through which the parasite enters the host. Infecting mostly animals, microsporidian species can be transmitted vertically or horizontally, and exert various effects on their

Metabarcoding reveals low prevalence of microsporidian infections in castor bean tick (Ixodes ricinus)

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Microsporidia is a large group of eukaryotic obligate intracellular spore-forming parasites, of which 17 species can cause microsporidiosis in humans. Most human-infecting microsporidians belong to the genera Enterocytozoon and Encephalitozoon.

The complete sequence of the smallest known nuclear genome from the microsporidian Encephalitozoon intestinalis. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2010
The genome of the microsporidia Encephalitozoon cuniculi is widely recognized as a model for extreme reduction and compaction. At only 2.9 Mbp, the genome encodes approximately 2,000 densely packed genes and little else. However, the nuclear genome of its sister, Encephalitozoon intestinalis, is even more reduced; at 2.3 Mbp, it represents a 20 ...

Prevalence of Encephalitozoon intestinalis and Enterocytozoon bieneusi in Cancer Patients Under Chemotherapy

Mikrobiyoloji Bulteni, 2015
Microsporidia species are obligate intracellular parasites and constitute one of the most important opportunistic pathogens that can cause severe infections especially in immunocompromised patients. Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon intestinalis are the most common species among 14 microsporidia species identified as human pathogens.

Identification of Encephalitozoon intestinalis in Travelers with Chronic Diarrhea by Specific PCR Amplification [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1998
ABSTRACT With the use of Weber’s modified trichrome and Uvitex 2B techniques, spores of microsporidia were detected in the stools of four travelers presenting clinically with chronic diarrhea. The general health of these patients was not impaired, and human immunodeficiency virus screening was negative.

Evaluation of the Reproductive Potential of Encephalitozoon intestinalis in Four Different Cell Line

Mikrobiyoloji Bulteni, 2018
Microsporidia are parasites that can cause infections in many vertebrate and invertebrate organisms and produce small spores resistant to environmental conditions. As they are obligate intracellular parasites, axenic cultures cannot be performed.

Genetic and immunological characterization of the microsporidianSeptata intestinalisCali, Kotler and Orenstein, 1993: reclassification toEncephalitozoon intestinalis

Parasitology, 1995
SUMMARYTh relationships between theEncephalitozoon-likeSeptata intestinalisand other microsporidia that occur in humans, notablyEncephalitozoon cuniculiandEncephalitozoon hellem, is insufficiently documented using morphological descriptions alone.
