Changes in the Anopheles arabiensis transcriptome and gut microbiota profiles associated with the endosymbiotic Microsporidia MB [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Microsporidia MB is an endosymbiotic microbe found in Anopheles mosquito populations. This symbiont can block Plasmodium transmission in mosquitoes, and it can spread through mosquito populations and be sustained over generations by vertical ...

The L1014F Kdr mutation is associated with a higher prevalence and load of the Plasmodium-blocking symbiont Microsporidia MB In Anopheles Gambiae s.l. In Benin [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyIntroduction The Plasmodium transmission-blocking endosymbiont Microsporidia MB was previously identified in Anopheles gambiae s.l., but its association with the carriage of the genotypes of the L1014F kdr mutation, as well as the ecological factors ...

Microsporidia–host interactions [PDF]
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2015 Microsporidia comprise one of the largest groups of obligate intracellular pathogens and can infect virtually all animals, but host response to these fungal-related microbes has been poorly understood. Several new studies of the host transcriptional response to microsporidia infection have found infection-induced regulation of genes involved in innate ...

Maximizing horizontal transmission through mating: increased mating frequency and mating competitiveness associated with Microsporidia MB-infected Anopheles arabiensis males [PDF]
Malaria JournalBackground Microsporidia MB is a naturally occurring symbiont in Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes that inhibits the development of Plasmodium. It is transmitted both vertically and horizontally, enabling its spread within mosquito populations.

Maturation of subtilisin-like protease NbSLP1 from microsporidia Nosema bombycis
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites and possess a unique way of invading hosts, namely germination. Microsporidia are able to infect almost all animal cells by germination. During the process, the polar tube extrudes from the spores within,
