Microsporidiosis Causing Necrotic Changes in the Honeybee Intestine

Applied Sciences, 2023
Background: Microsporidia from the Nosema (Vairimorpha) genus are pathogenic fungi that complete their life cycle in the honeybee intestine. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the impact of the course of infection on the viability of honeybee intestine cells. Methods and Results: Intestines isolated from healthy and N.

Cutaneous microsporidiosis in an immunosuppressed patient [PDF]

, 2020
Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular parasites that naturally infect domestic and wild animals. Human microsporidiosis is an increasingly recognized multisystem opportunistic infection. The clinical manifestations are diverse with diarrhea

Histological diagnosis of intestinal microsporidiosis in patients with AIDS. [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1991
Fifty nine patients seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and diarrhoea and 20 with weight loss were investigated for microsporidiosis using light and electron microscopical examination of duodenal and jejunal biopsy specimens. Eight cases of microsporidiosis were found, in five of whom it was the sole pathogen.

Intestinal microsporidiosis: prevalence and genetic study of Egyptian isolates [PDF]

Parasitologists United Journal, 2020
Background: Diagnosis of microsporidiosis is difficult due to its small size needing special stains and identification by an expert. Nowadays, application of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) made diagnosis more sensitive, specific and easier. Objectives: To update the prevalence of intestinal microsporidia and to clarify their genotype patterns in ...

Multiplex PCR to Diagnose Gastrointestinal Infections: Key Limitations in Interpretation

United European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 14, Issue 7, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panels are increasingly used for the evaluation of acute diarrhea, providing rapid and sensitive detection of a broad range of enteric pathogens. However, their widespread adoption has created important interpretive challenges for clinicians.

Diagnóstico laboratorial de enteroparasitoses oportunistas, com ênfase nas microsporidioses humanas, em Goiânia-GO Laboratory diagnosis of opportunistic intestinal parasites with emphasis on human microsporidiosis, in Goiânia-Go

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2006
Os microsporídios são protozoários, emergentes e oportunistas, responsáveis por patologias de alta morbi-mortalidade, principalmente em indivíduos com distúrbios imunes. Este estudo visa determinar o perfil clínico-laboratorial destes agentes.
