High Intestinal Parasite Contamination in Raw Vegetables Sold in Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Nepal

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Objectives: Fresh vegetables are crucial for a healthy diet, providing the body with essential supplements. Intestinal parasites/commensals are transmitted primarily through the consumption of raw contaminated vegetables. This study aimed to investigate intestinal parasite/commensal contamination in randomly selected common and representative fresh ...

Frequent Occurrence of Mixed Enterocytozoon bieneusi Infections in Humans [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2013
ABSTRACT Enterocytozoon bieneusi (phylum Microsporidia ) is a human pathogen with a broad host range. Following the sequencing of 3.8 Mb of the estimated 6-Mb E. bieneusi genome, simple sequence repeats (micro- and minisatellites) were identified. Sequencing of four such

Identification and Characterization of Three Spore Wall Proteins of Enterocytozoon Bieneusi

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most common microsporidian pathogen in farm animals and humans. Although several spore wall proteins (SWPs) of other human-pathogenic microsporidia have been identified, SWPs of E. bieneusi remain poorly characterized.

Symptomatic respiratory Encephalitozoon cuniculi infection in renal transplant recipients

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Objectives: Encephalitozoon spp. and Enterocytozoon bieneusi are intracellular parasitic fungi from the phylum Microsporidia, which initially localize to the intestine. As opportunistic pathogens, Encephalitozoon spp. in particular can disseminate to the

Epidemiological investigation and genotypes of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in 11 captive Rhesus macaque populations

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is an obligate intracellular parasite and the most common pathogen of microsporidiosis in humans and animals. In this study, a total of 198 fecal samples were collected from 11 captive populations of Rhesus macaque in Chinese zoos,

Interactions between microsporidia and other members of the microbiome

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract The microbiome is the collection of microbes that are associated with a host. Microsporidia are intracellular eukaryotic parasites that can infect most types of animals. In the last decade, there has been much progress to define the relationship between microsporidia and the microbiome.

Zoonotic Enterocytozoon bieneusi in raw wastewater in Zhengzhou, China [PDF]

Folia Parasitologica, 2017
Contamination of Enterocytozoon bieneusi Desportes, Charpentier, Galian, Bernard, Cochand-Priollet, Laverne, Ravisse, et Modigliani, 1985 in water sources may cause outbreaks of microsporidiosis. To examine the occurrence of E. bieneusi, 108 raw wastewater samples were collected from three wastewater treated plants in Zhengzhou, China.

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

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
