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 ...

Metabarcoding of Broad‐Diet Nototheniid Fish Stomachs Reveals Newly Detected Antarctic Parasite Signals and Potential Host Associations

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Using 18S rDNA metabarcoding of stomach contents from two Antarctic nototheniid fishes, we detected 242 parasite OTUs. Protists dominated diversity, metazoans dominated abundance, and depth structured assemblages. Novel parasite–host associations and previously unreported pathogenic protists highlight fish metabarcoding as a tool for biodiversity and ...

Molecular Detection and Genotypic Analysis of Encephalitozoon cuniculi in Pet Rabbits in Central Thailand

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Among 101 pet rabbits examined, 21 (21%) were positive for Encephalitozoon cuniculi. The detection rate was 5% in clinically healthy rabbits and 46% in clinically affected rabbits. No statistically significant association was observed between E. cuniculi detection status and rabbit breed, sex or age.

Emergence of Ophidiomyces ophidiicola, Nannizziopsis barbatae and Paranannizziopsis in free‐ranging Australian reptiles

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 376-384, June 2026.
Emerging fungal diseases pose a threat to reptiles globally. Increasing detections of onygenalean fungi, particularly Ophidiomyces ophidiicola, Nannizziopsis spp. and Paranannizziopsis spp. in clinically diseased free‐ranging reptiles, indicate likely ongoing spread within wild reptile populations.

Microsporidia persistence in host impairs epithelial barriers and increases chances of inflammatory bowel disease

Microbiology Spectrum
Microsporidia are intracellular fungus-like pathogens and the infection symptoms include recurrent diarrhea and systematic inflammations. The major infection route of microsporidia is the digestive tract.

Unraveling Long‐Term Microsporidia Diversity and Dynamics in Lake Aydat (France) Through Paleogenomics

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Sedimentary ancient DNA study revealed 138 years of hidden microsporidian (unicellular eukaryotic parasite) diversity and host–parasite dynamics in a freshwater lake. A major community shift in the 2000s, linked to anthropogenic pressures, shows how paleogenomics reveals the diversity and long‐term ecological trajectories of these previously overlooked

Extracts From Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) Peel via Microwave‐Assisted and Conventional Extractions: Evaluation of Nosema Infection and Toxicity in Honey Bees

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Conventional and microwave‐assisted extractions of grapefruit peels were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) based on TPC, TFC, and antioxidant activity (DPPH). The phytochemical profiles of the two optimum extracts were characterized via HPLC before evaluating their acute and chronic toxicity, as well as their effects on honey bee (Apis
