Structure of the Microsporidia
1976Considerable knowledge of microsporidian structure has been accumulated during 150 years of research. Critical evaluation of this knowledge reveals, however, that most progress has been achieved during the past fifteen years after electron microscopic application.

Comparative Genomics of Microsporidia
2022The microsporidia are a phylum of intracellular parasites that represent the eukaryotic cell in a state of extreme reduction, with genomes and metabolic capabilities embodying eukaryotic cells in arguably their most streamlined state. Over the past 20 years, microsporidian genomics has become a rapidly expanding field starting with sequencing of the ...

Adenovirus Masquerading as Microsporidia
The Journal of Parasitology, 1996Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a microsporidian that causes a severe, debilitating, chronic diarrhea in some patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Specific diagnosis of E. bieneusi currently requires an invasive biopsy procedure and time-consuming preparation of specimens for electron microscopy.

Immune Response to Microsporidia
2022Microsporidia are a group of pathogens, which can pose severe risks to the immunocompromised population, such as HIV-infected individuals or organ transplant recipients. Adaptive immunity has been reported to be critical for protection, and mice depleted of T cells are unable to control these infections.

This chapter highlights the biological and life cycle features of entomogenous microsporidia and provides some basic information on their taxonomic distribution. The development of all insect-parasitic microsporidia is restricted to the cytoplasm of the host cell.

Microsporidia in Pennsylvania mosquitoes
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1965Abstract Aedes canadensis (Theobald) larvae infected with a Thelohania were taken from two different localities in Pennsylvania. The pathogens were determined to be Thelohania inimica Kellen and Wills, and assigned to a new subspecies, Thelohania inimica canadensis .

Transovarial transmission in the microsporidia
2001The microsporidia are an ancient and diverse group of protists which have many unusual characteristics. These include prokaryotic-like 70s ribosomes, enclosed nuclear division, a lack of mitochondria and complex life cycles which frequently involve vertical transmission.

Advances in Parasitology, 1998
Publisher Summary The emergence of microsporidia as a clinical problem has coincided with advances in the field of molecular biology, the techniques of which promise greatly enhanced sensitivity and specificity. This chapter reviews the basic biology of microsporidians that infect mammals, including their unique morphologic characteristics, life ...

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1998
An early sporulation event in the host midgut tissues has been reported for several species of microsporidia infecting Diptera, Hymenoptera, and Lepidoptera. The role of these primary spores, formed between 35 and 96 h postinfection per os, has been suggested to be the cell to cell spread of infection within the host, but the sequence of events during ...
