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.

Molecular characterization and new genotypes of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in minks (Neovison vison) in China

Parasite, 2018
Microsporidiosis is an emerging and opportunistic disease, and Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the main cause of this disease in humans. Little information is available on prevalence and genotyping of E. bieneusi in minks.

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

Molecular diagnosis of potentially human pathogenic Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon species in exotic birds in Southwestern Iran

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2018
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites that produce spores. The infections caused by these parasites are mostly considered to be opportunistic in immunodeficient patients.

Molecular characterization of intestinal protozoa in an oil wastewater treatment facility; risk for contamination of downstream farmlands

BMC Microbiology
Background Oil refinery (OR) facilities consume vast volumes of water during their processes, generating a large amount of wastewater (WW). The oil refinery wastewater (ORWW) contains toxic materials, and few microorganisms are believed to remain active ...
