Resource quantity affects infection success and impacts of a microsporidian on hosts
Resource quantity in the environment often changes over time and influences the nutritional status of hosts that may encounter parasites. If resource availability significantly alters both infection success and within‐host growth of a parasite, fluctuations in resources may underlie the seasonal disease outbreaks that have been observed for some ...

Multiple losses of sex within a single genus of Microsporidia
Background Most asexual eukaryotic lineages have arisen recently from sexual ancestors and contain few ecologically distinct species, providing evidence for long-term advantages of sex. Ancient asexual lineages provide rare exceptions to this rule and so
