Comparative genomics of microsporidia [PDF]
Folia Parasitologica, 2005 Microsporidia have been known for some time to possess among the smallest genomes of any eukaryote. There is now a completely sequenced microsporidian genome, as well as several other large-scale sequencing efforts, so the nature of these genomes is becoming apparent.

Identifying potential hosts of short-branch microsporidia [PDF]
, 2021 Microsporidia are obligate parasites that are closely related to Fungi. While the widely known “long-branch” Microsporidia infect mostly metazoans, the hosts of “short-branch” Microsporidia are only partially characterized or not known at all.

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Heatwaves challenge our understanding of how environmental stressors reshape host–parasite interactions, particularly during the critical “off‐host” stages of endoparasites. These stages, often dismissed as inert and unaffected by environmental changes, remain a black box in ecological research despite their key role in parasites' life cycle ...

Multiplex PCR to Diagnose Gastrointestinal Infections: Key Limitations in Interpretation
United European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 14, Issue 7, September 2026.ABSTRACT Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panels are increasingly used for the evaluation of acute diarrhea, providing rapid and sensitive detection of a broad range of enteric pathogens. However, their widespread adoption has created important interpretive challenges for clinicians.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 18, September 2026.ABSTRACT Host–parasite interactions represent an evolutionary arms race, with parasites evolving strategies to exploit host resources, and hosts deploying mechanisms to resist or tolerate infection. Unlike vertebrates, which possess a sophisticated immune system, invertebrates rely entirely on innate immunity to combat pathogens.

De novo or Salvage? Nucleotide Availability as a Driver of Bacterial Adaptation and Virulence
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.Bacterial pathogens survive in different host environments by switching between making nucleotides by de novo synthesis and scavenging them from the host. This flexibility supports growth and virulence making nucleotide metabolism an attractive therapeutic target.

Porphyrins inactivate Nosema spp. microsporidia
, 2018 The study of organic/inorganic molecules with activity against intracellular fungi of the phylum Microsporidia is of critical importance. Here, for the first time, the inactivation of these parasitic fungi by porphyrins is reported.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.
