Microsporidia persistence in host impairs epithelial barriers and increases chances of inflammatory bowel disease

Microbiology Spectrum
Microsporidia are intracellular fungus-like pathogens and the infection symptoms include recurrent diarrhea and systematic inflammations. The major infection route of microsporidia is the digestive tract.
