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 ...

Microsporidia as a Potential Threat to the Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus)
Animals, 2022 Lynx pardinus is one of the world’s most endangered felines inhabiting the Iberian Peninsula. The present study was performed to identify the presence of microsporidia due to the mortality increase in lynxes.

A Large Collection of Novel Nematode-Infecting Microsporidia and Their Diverse Interactions with Caenorhabditis elegans and Other Related Nematodes. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2016 Microsporidia are fungi-related intracellular pathogens that may infect virtually all animals, but are poorly understood. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has recently become a model host for studying microsporidia through the identification of its ...

Horizontal transfer of parasitic sex ratio distorters between crustacean hosts [PDF]
, 1998 Parasitic sex ratio distorters were artificially transferred within and between crustacean host species in order to study the effects of parasitism on host fitness and sex determination and to investigate parasite–host specificity. Implantation of Nosema

Microsporidia-nematode associations in methane seeps reveal basal fungal parasitism in the deep sea [PDF]
, 2014 The deep sea is Earth's largest habitat but little is known about the nature of deep-sea parasitism. In contrast to a few characterized cases of bacterial and protistan parasites, the existence and biological significance of deep-sea parasitic fungi is ...
