Exposure of Larvae of the Solitary Bee Osmia bicornis to the Honey Bee Pathogen Nosema ceranae Affects Life History [PDF]
, 2019 Wild bees are important pollinators of wild plants and agricultural crops and they are threatened by several environmental stressors including emerging pathogens. Honey bees have been suggested as a potential source of pathogen spillover.

Pronounced and prevalent intersexuality does not impede the ‘Demon Shrimp’ invasion [PDF]
, 2015 Crustacean intersexuality is widespread and often linked to infection by sex-distorting parasites. However, unlike vertebrate intersexuality, its association with sexual dysfunction is unclear and remains a matter of debate.

Strong Bottlenecks Constrain Adaptive Coevolution in a Host–Parasite Metapopulation
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although parasites are well‐known for adaptively evolving in order to exploit their hosts, they may experience strong genetic drift during transmission bottlenecks when infecting a new host. Host population structure and host population bottlenecks can also lead to genetic drift effects in parasite populations, constraining their adaptive ...

Comparing Microsporidia-targeting primers for environmental DNA sequencing
Parasite, 2023 Metabarcoding is a powerful tool to detect classical, and well-known “long-branch” Microsporidia in environmental samples. Several primer pairs were developed to target these unique microbial parasites, the majority of which remain undetected when using ...

Human Microsporidial Infections [PDF]
, 2006 Microsporidia are eukaryotic, spore forming obligate intracellular parasites, first recognised over 100 years ago. Microsporidia are becoming increasingly recognised as infectious pathogens causing intestinal and extra-intestinal diseases in both immuno ...

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

Laboratory Identification of the Microsporidia [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2002 The microsporidia belong to the phylum Microspora within the taxonomic group Protozoa; there are more than 140 genera and 1,200 species that are parasitic in all major animal groups. Already, seven genera (Enterocytozoon, Encephalitozoon, Nosema, Pleistophora, Vittaforma, Trachipleistophora, and Brachiola) and some that are unclassified have been ...
