Abstract Malaria remains a significant public health burden in Sub-Saharan African countries, hindering their development. A promising strategy to combat this disease involves the use of the bacterium Microsporidia MB to reduce/replace disease-transmitting wild mosquito population.

Diet can alter the cost of resistance to a natural parasite in Caenorhabditis elegans
Evolutionary theory suggests that the cost of parasite resistance promotes the coexistence of resistant and susceptible individuals. However, empirical tests do not consistently find a cost of resistance. Using a nematode–microsporidian sytem, we found support for the hypothesis that costs of resistance vary with the environmental context in which they

The present study was done to evaluate the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) in patients with COVID‐19 in health care centers (Imam Reza and Golestan hospitals), Tehran, capital of Iran. By designing a matched case‐control study, 200 fecal samples were collected for each of the COVID‐19 patients and healthy individuals ...

Abstract Schistosoma mansoni, a snail‐borne, blood fluke that infects humans, was introduced into the Americas from Africa during the Trans‐Atlantic slave trade. As this parasite shows strong specificity to the snail intermediate host, we expected that adaptation to South American Biomphalaria spp.

Draft genome sequence of the Daphnia pathogen Octosporea bayeri: insights into the gene content of a large microsporidian genome and a model for host-parasite interactions [PDF]
Background: The highly compacted 2.9-Mb genome of Encephalitozoon cuniculi placed the microsporidia in the spotlight, encoding a mere 2,000 proteins and a highly reduced suite of biochemical pathways.

Impact of genome reduction in microsporidia
Microsporidia represent an evolutionary outlier in the tree of life and occupy the extreme edge of the eukaryotic domain with some of their biological features.

Regulation of ribosomal protein genes: An ordered anarchy
Global circuit of ribosome synthesis. Abstract Ribosomal protein genes are among the most highly expressed genes in most cell types. Their products are generally essential for ribosome synthesis, which is the cornerstone for cell growth and proliferation.
