Review Article - Microsporidia: Emerging Ocular Pathogens

, 2005
Microsporidia are eukaryotic, spore forming obligate intracellular parasites, first recognized over 100 years ago. Microsporidia are becoming increasingly recognized as infectious pathogens causing intestinal, ocular, sinus, pulmonary, muscular and ...

The Plasmodium transmission-blocking symbiont, Microsporidia MB, is vertically transmitted through Anopheles arabiensis germline stem cells.

PLoS Pathogens
Microsporidia MB is a promising candidate for developing a symbiont-based strategy for malaria control because it disrupts the capacity of An. arabiensis to transmit the Plasmodium parasite.

E. hellem Ser/Thr protein phosphatase PP1 targets the DC MAPK pathway and impairs immune functions

Life Science Alliance
Intracellular pathogen E. hellem suppressed host DCs’ immune functions via pathogen-derived serine/threonine protein phosphatase PP1 directly targeting the host p38α/MAPK pathway. Microsporidia are difficult to be completely eliminated once infected, and

Propagation of Encephalitozoon cuniculi in tick cell lines supports the plausibility of possible tick-mediated transmission of this microsporidian

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Microsporidia, obligate intracellular parasitic fungi, are increasingly associated with asymptomatic infections. One of the most prevalent zoonotic species, Encephalitozoon cuniculi, has been detected in Ixodes ricinus ticks.

Emerging Intestinal Microsporidia Infection in General Population in Jiroft District, Southeastern Iran: A Cross-sectional Study in 2013-2014

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2017
Background: Microsporidia have been reported as the cause of opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients in Iran and other countries. There is no data on prevalence of intestinal microsporidia in healthy population of Iran. This study aimed to

The Temperature Adaptation of Microsporidia

, 2006
Термопреферендум микроспоридий — свойство, характеризующее не весь тип Microsporidia в целом, а каждый конкретный вид, с присущими ему гостальной специфичностью и жизненным циклом.

Microsporidia Spore Adherence and Host Cell Infection In Vitro [PDF]

, 2013
Microsporidia infect invertebrate and vertebrate animals. Human pathogenic microsporidia are associated with severe disease in immunocompromised individuals, and mostly asymptomatic infection in the immunocompetent. Treatment options for microsporidiosis

Mosquito breeding water parameters are important determinants for Microsporidia MB in the aquatic stages of Anopheles species

Parasites & Vectors
Background Microsporidia MB disrupts Plasmodium development in Anopheles mosquitoes, making it a possible biocontrol tool for malaria. As a tool for vector/disease control, its ecological distribution and the factors that determine their occurrence must ...
