Polyploidy is widespread in Microsporidia

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
ABSTRACT Microsporidia are obligate intracellular eukaryotic parasites with an extremely broad host range. They have both economic and public health importance. Ploidy in microsporidia is variable, with a few species formally identified as diploid and one as polyploid.

Autophagy Regulates Fungal Virulence and Sexual Reproduction in Cryptococcus neoformans

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Autophagy (macroautophagy) is an evolutionarily conserved degradation pathway involved in bulk degradation of cytoplasmic organelles, old protein, and other macromolecules and nutrient recycling during starvation.

Microsporidia MB in the primary malaria vector Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto is avirulent and undergoes maternal and horizontal transmission

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background The demonstration that the recently discovered Anopheles symbiont Microsporidia MB blocks malaria transmission in Anopheles arabiensis and undergoes vertical and horizontal transmission suggests that it is a promising candidate for the ...

Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses Against Microsporidia Infection in Mammals

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular and eukaryotic pathogens that can infect immunocompromised and immunocompetent mammals, including humans. Both innate and adaptive immune systems play important roles against microsporidian infection.

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 ...

Role of F-box Protein Cdc4 in Fungal Virulence and Sexual Reproduction of Cryptococcus neoformans

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic yeast-like pathogen that mainly infects immunocompromised individuals and causes fatal meningitis. Sexual reproduction can promote the exchange of genetic material between different strains of C.

A broad distribution of the alternative oxidase in microsporidian parasites [PDF]

, 2010
Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular parasitic eukaryotes that were considered to be amitochondriate until the recent discovery of highly reduced mitochondrial organelles called mitosomes. Analysis of the complete genome of Encephalitozoon

Microsporidia–host interactions [PDF]

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2015
Microsporidia comprise one of the largest groups of obligate intracellular pathogens and can infect virtually all animals, but host response to these fungal-related microbes has been poorly understood. Several new studies of the host transcriptional response to microsporidia infection have found infection-induced regulation of genes involved in innate ...
