Microsporidia and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2000
Microsporidia is a common term that has been used to refer to a group of eukaryotic, obligate intracellular protozoan parasites belonging to the phylum Microspora. They are important agricultural parasites, contaminating commercial insects; they are also important by infecting laboratory rodents, rabbits and primates.

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,

Conservation of Nematocida microsporidia gene expression and host response in Caenorhabditis nematodes.

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 ...

Comparative genomics of microsporidia [PDF]

Folia Parasitologica, 2005
Microsporidia have been known for some time to possess among the smallest genomes of any eukaryote. There is now a completely sequenced microsporidian genome, as well as several other large-scale sequencing efforts, so the nature of these genomes is becoming apparent.

Von Willebrand Factor Facilitates Intravascular Dissemination of Microsporidia Encephalitozoon hellem

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Microsporidia are a group of spore-forming, fungus-related pathogens that can infect both invertebrates and vertebrates including humans. The primary infection site is usually digestive tract, but systemic infections occur as well and cause damages to ...
