Zoonotic Potential of the Microsporidia [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2005 SUMMARY Microsporidia are long-known parasitic organisms of almost every animal group, including invertebrates and vertebrates. Microsporidia emerged as important opportunistic pathogens in humans when AIDS became pandemic and, more recently, have also increasingly been detected in otherwise immunocompromised ...
