A New Host for Pleistophora ovariae (Microsporida)
Pleistophora ovariae, a microsporidan parasite that infects ovaries of the golden shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas), is a widespread problem for minnow culturists. It occurred in shiners held at 45 of 49 commercial fish farms inspected by Summerfelt and Warner (1970, Journal of Wildlife Diseases 6: 457-465). This microsporidan causes considerable damage

A serological comparison of some species of microsporida
Abstract Double immunodiffusion techniques were used to investigate the taxonomic relationships between six different microsporidian isolates. Microsporidia used included Nosema bombycis, N. algerae, N. plodiae , and three organisms morphologically similar to N. necatrix .

Lack of phenotypic and evolutionary cross-resistance against parasitoids and pathogens in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
BackgroundWhen organisms are attacked by multiple natural enemies, the evolution of a resistance mechanism to one natural enemy will be influenced by the degree of cross-resistance to another natural enemy.

Segregation of a microsporidian parasite during host cell mitosis [PDF]
We investigated the segregation of an intracellular microsporidian parasite during host cell division. A time-course experiment was carried out to examine the distribution of parasites relative to host chromosomal DNA via light and electron microscopy.
