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

Enterocytozoon bieneusi genotypes in cats and dogs in Victoria, Australia [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2019
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is one of the commonest microsporidians contributing to human microsporidiosis, and is frequently found in animals in various countries. However, there is limited epidemiological information on this microorganism in Australia. Here, we undertook the first molecular epidemiological study of E.

Zoonotic disease classification in wildlife: a theoretical framework for researchers

Mammal Review, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 63-77, January 2024.
Classification systems are useful tools for aggregating diseases to study them in more detail. However, the current systems are mainly designed for use in health care and fail to capture many details of zoonotic diseases. The goal of this study was to develop a framework for the classification of zoonotic diseases which can generate data useful to ...

Subtyping of Cryptosporidium cuniculus and genotyping of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in rabbits in two farms in Heilongjiang Province, China

Parasite, 2016
Cryptosporidium spp. and Enterocytozoon bieneusi are two prevalent opportunistic pathogens in humans and animals. Currently, few data are available on genetic characterization of both pathogens in rabbits in China.

Molecular Characterization of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in Wild Carnivores in Spain

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2017
AbstractMicrosporidia comprises a diverse group of obligate intracellular parasites that infect a broad range of invertebrates and vertebrates. Among Microsporidia, Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most frequently detected species in humans and animals worldwide bringing into question the possible role of animal reservoirs in the epidemiology of this ...

Identification of two new genetic loci for high-resolution genotyping of Enterocytozoon bieneusi

Parasite
In addition to the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) locus, four loci (MS1, MS3, MS4, and MS7) have been identified to develop multilocus sequence typing tools for high-resolution genotyping of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in previous studies ...
