Annotation of microsporidia genomes.
, 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 ...

Draft genome sequence of the Daphnia pathogen Octosporea bayeri: insights into the gene content of a large microsporidian genome and a model for host-parasite interactions [PDF]
, 2009 Background: The highly compacted 2.9-Mb genome of Encephalitozoon cuniculi placed the microsporidia in the spotlight, encoding a mere 2,000 proteins and a highly reduced suite of biochemical pathways.

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.

Strategies for maximizing ATP supply in the microsporidian Encephalitozoon cuniculi: direct binding of mitochondria to the parasitophorous vacuole and clustering of the mitochondrial porin VDAC [PDF]
, 2013 Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites with extremely reduced genomes and a dependence on host-derived ATP. The microsporidium Encephalitozoon cuniculi proliferates within a membranous vacuole and we investigated how the ATP supply is ...

Clinical Molecular Investigation of Encephalitozoon cuniculi in Pet Rabbits: Early Detection of Potential Risk for Animal and Human Infection. [PDF]
Vet Med SciThis study assesses the presence, genotypes and clinical signs of E. cuniculi infection in pet rabbits in Slovenia. Molecular analysis reveals the presence of E. cuniculi DNA (Genotype I) in 14.98% rabbit urine samples, mostly in rabbits with signs of urinary tract disorders.

Latent Microsporidia Infection Prevalence as a Risk Factor in Colon Cancer Patients
, 2022 Microsporidia are opportunistic intracellular parasites, generating serious pathology in individuals with a compromised immune system. Infection by microsporidia inhibits p53 and Caspase 3, proteins involved in apoptosis and the cell cycle, which are ...
