Strategies for maximizing ATP supply in the microsporidian Encephalitozoon cuniculi: direct binding of mitochondria to the parasitophorous vacuole and clustering of the mitochondrial porin VDAC [PDF]
, 2013 Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites with extremely reduced genomes and a dependence on host-derived ATP. The microsporidium Encephalitozoon cuniculi proliferates within a membranous vacuole and we investigated how the ATP supply is ...

, 2023 Abstract Background: The discovery of the Anopheles symbiont, Microsporidia MB in An. arabiensis and the subsequent demonstration that it blocks malaria transmission, undergoes vertical and horizontal transmission suggests that it is a promising candidate for developing a symbiont-based malaria transmission-blocking strategy.

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.

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 ...

Microsporidia: a promising vector control tool for residual malaria transmission [PDF]
, 2022 Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) have resulted in a major decrease in malaria transmission. However, it has become apparent that malaria can be effectively transmitted despite high coverage of LLINs/IRS.

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 ...

Complexity, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Malaria remains a major public health concern in Kenya, where changing climatic conditions, insecticide resistance, and mosquito behavioral adaptations continue to challenge control efforts. This study develops and analyzes a climate‐sensitive malaria transmission model that incorporates mosquito behavior, insecticide resistance, and vector–human ...
