Genomic and phenotypic evolution of nematode-infecting microsporidia
PLoS Pathogens, 2023 Microsporidia are a large phylum of intracellular parasites that can infect most types of animals. Species in the Nematocida genus can infect nematodes including Caenorhabditis elegans, which has become an important model to study mechanisms of ...

Horizontal Transmission of the Symbiont Microsporidia MB in Anopheles arabiensis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The recently discovered Anopheles symbiont, Microsporidia MB, has a strong malaria transmission-blocking phenotype in Anopheles arabiensis, the predominant Anopheles gambiae species complex member in many active transmission areas in eastern Africa.

Molecular detection and maternal transmission of Microsporidia MB in the field-caught Anopheles coluzzii in Cameroon [PDF]
Scientific ReportsRecent discoveries of Microsporidia MB in Anopheles mosquitoes and its demonstrated capacity to block malaria transmission suggest that it could be a promising candidate for a symbiont-based malaria control strategy.

Telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of Microsporidia sp. MB, a microsporidian symbiont of Anopheles coluzzii isolated from Burkina Faso [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Microsporidia sp. MB is an intracellular parasite of anopheline mosquitoes identified across the African continent. Microsporidia sp. MB infections appear to have no significant effect on mosquito fitness and can vertically transmit, whilst ...

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 ...

Microsporidia Detection and Genotyping Study of Human Pathogenic E. bieneusi in Animals from Spain
PLoS ONE, 2014 Microsporidia are ubiquitous parasites infecting all animal phyla and we present evidence that supports their zoonotic potential. Fecal samples taken from domestic (cats and dogs), farm (pigs, rabbits and ostriches) and wild animals (foxes) from ...

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 ...
