Identification and characterization of microsporidia from fecal samples of HIV-positive patients from Lagos, Nigeria. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites that infect a broad range of vertebrates and invertebrates. They have been increasingly recognized as human pathogens in AIDS patients, mainly associated with a life-threatening chronic ...

The State of Beekeeping in India: Insights, Gaps, and Emerging Opportunities

Entomological Research, Volume 55, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT India's beekeeping industry primarily revolves around two domesticated honey bee species, Apis cerana and A. mellifera, which are central to commercial beekeeping. In addition, there are four wild honey bee species—A. dorsata, A. laboriosa (sympatric with A. dorsata), A. florea, and A. andreniformis (sympatric with A.

Aspects of Genetic Diversity, Host Specificity and Public Health Significance of Single‐Celled Intestinal Parasites Commonly Observed in Humans and Mostly Referred to as ‘Non‐Pathogenic’

APMIS, Volume 133, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge

Virulence Evolution: Thinking Outside of the Host

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The main theory of the evolution of virulence relies on a trade‐off between virulence and transmission rate. However, it has been difficult to measure the required trade‐off. A recent transmission decomposition framework explains that this might be partly due to a lack of information about the parasite's survival in the environment outside its
