Microsporidia MB mediated transcriptomics and gut microbiota shift in Plasmodium falciparum exposed Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes

Abstract Background Microsporidia MB is a vertically and horizontally transmitted endosymbiont of Anopheles mosquitoes with the potential to impair Plasmodium falciparum transmission in malaria endemic regions ...

Review Article - Microsporidia: Emerging Ocular Pathogens

, 2005
Microsporidia are eukaryotic, spore forming obligate intracellular parasites, first recognized over 100 years ago. Microsporidia are becoming increasingly recognized as infectious pathogens causing intestinal, ocular, sinus, pulmonary, muscular and ...

Laboratory An. gambiae s.l. mosquito colonies show sustained high transmission of Microsporidia sp. MB and a small fecundity cost

Microsporidia sp. MB, a microsporidian symbiont found naturally in Anopheles mosquitoes, has potential as a novel malaria control tool since it can inhibit Plasmodium development and transmission.

An eco‑epidemiological model for malaria with Microsporidia MB as bio‑control agent

Microsporidia MB is an endosymbiont which naturally infects Anopheles mosquitoes. Due to its ability to block Plasmodium transmission, it shows potential as a bio-based agent for the control of malaria.
