Identification of the Microsporidian Encephalitozoon cuniculi as a New Target of the IFNγ-Inducible IRG Resistance System [PDF]

, 2014
The IRG system of IFNγ-inducible GTPases constitutes a powerful resistance mechanism in mice against Toxoplasma gondii and two Chlamydia strains but not against many other bacteria and protozoa. Why only T. gondii and Chlamydia?

Mathematical modelling of the interactive dynamics of wild and Microsporidia MB-infected mosquitoes.

Mathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE, 2023
A recent discovery highlighted that mosquitoes infected with Microsporidia MB are unable to transmit the Plasmodium to humans. Microsporidia MB is a symbiont transmitted vertically and horizontally in the mosquito population, and these transmission routes are known to favor the persistence of the parasite in the mosquito population.

A microsporidian impairs Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2020
A possible malaria control approach involves the dissemination in mosquitoes of inherited symbiotic microbes to block Plasmodium transmission. However, in the Anopheles gambiae complex, the primary African vectors of malaria, there are limited reports of

Telomere-to-Telomere genome assemblies of human-infecting Encephalitozoon species

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background Microsporidia are diverse spore forming, fungal-related obligate intracellular pathogens infecting a wide range of hosts. This diversity is reflected at the genome level with sizes varying by an order of magnitude, ranging from less than 3 Mb ...

Transposable element abundance correlates with mode of transmission in microsporidian parasites

Mobile DNA, 2020
The extreme genome reduction and physiological simplicity of some microsporidia has been attributed to their intracellular, obligate parasitic lifestyle.

No jacket required – new fungal lineage defies dress code [PDF]

, 2012
Analyses of environmental DNAs have provided tantalizing evidence for “rozellida” or “cryptomycota”, a clade of mostly undescribed and deeply diverging aquatic fungi. Here, we put cryptomycota into perspective through consideration of Rozella , the only

Genome sequence surveys of Brachiola algerae and Edhazardia aedis reveal microsporidia with low gene densities

BMC Genomics, 2008
Background Microsporidia are well known models of extreme nuclear genome reduction and compaction. The smallest microsporidian genomes have received the most attention, but genomes of different species range in size from 2.3 Mb to 19.5 Mb and the nature ...
