Niche and ecosystem preference of earliest diverging fungi in soils [PDF]
Mycology, 2023 Within the supergroup Rotosphaeromycetes, or “Holomycota”/“Nucletmycea”, there are several well-recognised unicellular clades in the earliest diverging fungi (EDF). However, we know little about their occurrence.

Microsporidia-nematode associations in methane seeps reveal basal fungal parasitism in the deep sea. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2014 The deep sea is Earth's largest habitat but little is known about the nature of deep-sea parasitism. In contrast to a few characterized cases of bacterial and protistan parasites, the existence and biological significance of deep-sea parasitic fungi is ...

Emerging Intestinal Microsporidia Infection in HIV(+)/AIDS Patients in Iran: Microscopic and Molecular Detection [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2014 Background: Species of Microsporidia have been known as opportunistic obli-gate intracellular parasites particularly in immunocompromised patients. Enterocyto-zoon bieneusi is one of most prevalent intestinal microsporida parasites in HIV+/AIDS patients.

Monoclonal antibodies to cytoplasmic antigens of Nosema locustae (Microsporida: Nosematidae). [PDF]
J Invertebr Pathol, 2001 Microsporidia are eukaryotic, intracellular protozoa that infect a wide range of vertebrate and invertebrate hosts with almost half of the described genera affecting insects. Nosema locustae, which infects approximately 90 species of grasshoppers, has been used as a biological control agent for these insects and is registered as a microbial insecticide

Transmission and infectivity of spores of Burenella dimorpha (Microsporida: Burenellidae)
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1981 Abstract Burenella dimorpha infects the tropical fire ant, Solenopsis geminata , producing two morphologically distinct types of spores. A binucleate, nonpansporoblast membrane-bounded (NPMB) spore develops in and destroys the hypodermis, rupturing the cuticle in the pupal stage.

Cellular distribution of a feminizing microsporidian parasite: a strategy for transovarial transmission [PDF]
, 1997 The cellular distribution of a vertically transmitted, feminizing microsporidian was followed in its host Gammarus duebeni. In adult females the parasite was restricted to gonadal tissue, in particular primary and secondary follicle cells.

Field host range of the fire ant pathogens Thelohania solenopsae (Microsporida: Thelohaniidae) and Vairimorpha invictae (Microsporida: Burenellidae) in South America [PDF]
Biological Control, 2002 We studied the field host specificity of the microsporidia Thelohania solenopsae and Vairimorpha invictae and their prevalence in the imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta and S. richteri. Terrestrial ants were sampled by using bait traps and/or nest sampling at preselected sites in Argentina and Brazil.
