PLoS ONE, 2022 Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites that are known to infect most types of animals. Many species of microsporidia can infect multiple related hosts, but it is not known if microsporidia express different genes depending upon which host ...

Microsporidium Keratitis After Hurricane Francine: A Case Report. [PDF]
Case Rep Ophthalmol MedMicrosporidial ocular infections are being increasingly reported, especially in temperate climates. In this case report, we describe five patients who presented to a private ophthalmology practice in Southeastern Louisiana in 2024, all within 3 months of Hurricane Francine landing.

Polyploidy is widespread in Microsporidia
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 ABSTRACT Microsporidia are obligate intracellular eukaryotic parasites with an extremely broad host range. They have both economic and public health importance. Ploidy in microsporidia is variable, with a few species formally identified as diploid and one as polyploid.

Zoonotic Potential of the Microsporidia [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2005 SUMMARY Microsporidia are long-known parasitic organisms of almost every animal group, including invertebrates and vertebrates. Microsporidia emerged as important opportunistic pathogens in humans when AIDS became pandemic and, more recently, have also increasingly been detected in otherwise immunocompromised ...

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 ...

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.

De novo or Salvage? Nucleotide Availability as a Driver of Bacterial Adaptation and Virulence
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.Bacterial pathogens survive in different host environments by switching between making nucleotides by de novo synthesis and scavenging them from the host. This flexibility supports growth and virulence making nucleotide metabolism an attractive therapeutic target.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.
