Laboratory An. gambiae s.l. mosquito colonies show sustained high transmission of Microsporidia sp. MB and a small decrease in egg viability

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionMicrosporidia 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. The most feasible MB-based Plasmodium control

Seasonal variability in the distribution of Microsporidia MB infection in Anopheles gambiae in a rice-growing area of Benin

International Journal of Biological and Chemical Sciences
Against a backdrop of vector resistance to insecticides, research efforts are focusing on designing new tools, such as those based on symbiotic bacteria. In this context, Microsporidia MB has been identified as a promising endosymbiont.

Analyzing Microsporidia sp. MB from sequence to biology: comprehensive exploration of the genome, protein structures, and functions through extensive bioinformatics analysis

Microsporidia are spore-forming intracellular organisms classified as the earliest divergent group within the Fungi kingdom. Microsporidia have been found widely affecting different hosts, including both vertebrates and invertebrates.

A systematic review of honey bee (Apis mellifera, Linnaeus, 1758) infections and available treatment options

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 4, Page 1848-1860, July 2023., 2023
This review provides a comprehensive survey of the diversity and distribution of some of the important pathogens affecting bee health and summarises the available treatments currently being used to mitigate and control bee infections. Abstract Background Honey bees and honeycomb bees are very valuable for wild flowering plants and economically ...

Diet can alter the cost of resistance to a natural parasite in Caenorhabditis elegans

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
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 Frequency of Intestinal Parasitic Infections in COVID‐19 Patients: A Case‐Control Study in Tehran, Capital of Iran

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
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 ...

Genomic analysis of a parasite invasion: Colonization of the Americas by the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 2242-2263, April 2022., 2022
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.

Strong Bottlenecks Constrain Adaptive Coevolution in a Host-Parasite Metapopulation. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Although parasites are well‐known for adaptively evolving in order to exploit their hosts, they may experience strong genetic drift during transmission bottlenecks when infecting a new host. Host population structure and host population bottlenecks can also lead to genetic drift effects in parasite populations, constraining their adaptive ...
