Impact of Genome Reduction in Microsporidia

open access: yes, 2022
AbstractMicrosporidia represent an evolutionary outlier in the tree of life and occupy the extreme edge of the eukaryotic domain with some of their biological features. Many of these unicellular fungi-like organisms have reduced their genomic content to potentially the lowest limit.

Current disease treatments for the ornamental pet fish trade and their associated problems

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract The trade in live ornamental fishes to be held as companion animals or displayed in public aquaria has an estimated global annual value of US$15–20 billion. Supply chains for ornamental pet fishes often involve many more parties than for fish farmed as food fishes, and at each stage, fishes are exposed to stressors including handling ...

Harnessing Bacillus Probiotics: An Approach for Vibrio Pathogen Control and Organic Sludge Management in Shrimp Aquaculture

open access: yesAquaculture Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Probiotics are essential in shrimp aquaculture as they help improve water and soil quality, ultimately enhancing productivity. This study assesses the probiotic potential of six Bacillus strains by evaluating various functional traits. The inhibitory activity of culture supernatants from each strain was tested against two Vibrio parahaemolyticus ...

Combined stress from parasites, pesticides and lack of flowers drives bee declines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Bees are subject to numerous pressures in the modern world. The abundance and diversity of flowers has declined, bees are chronically exposed to cocktails of agrochemicals, and they are simultaneously exposed to novel parasites accidentally spread by ...

Silencing of EhAQP1, EhPTP2, and EhTK Genes in Ecytonucleospora Hepatopenaei Using RNA Interference: A Potential Strategy for Preventing and Treating EHP Infection in Shrimp

open access: yesAquaculture Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Ecytonucleospora hepatopenaei (EHP) is an obligate intracellular parasitic pathogen of shrimp, causing growth retardation and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections. Currently, there are few reports on the prevention and treatment of EHP infection in shrimp, and research on its drug targets is limited.

Alternatives in Molecular Diagnostics of Encephalitozoon and Enterocytozoon Infections

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2020
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular pathogens that are currently considered to be most directly aligned with fungi. These fungal-related microbes cause infections in every major group of animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate, and more recently ...

Within-host transmission strategies of transovarial, feminizing parasites of Gammarus duebeni [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The amphipod Gammarus duebeni harbours several species of vertically transmitted, feminizing microsporidian parasites. G. duebeni were collected from 3 localities in the UK. Animals from Budle Bay, Northumberland, were infected with Octosporea effeminans,

Origin and evolution of the slime molds (Mycetozoa) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The Mycetozoa include the cellular (dictyostelid), acellular (myxogastrid), and protostelid slime molds. However, available molecular data are in disagreement on both the monophyly and phylogenetic position of the group.

Phylogenomics supports microsporidia as the earliest diverging clade of sequenced fungi

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2012
Background Microsporidia is one of the taxa that have experienced the most dramatic taxonomic reclassifications. Once thought to be among the earliest diverging eukaryotes, the fungal nature of this group of intracellular pathogens is now widely accepted.
