ABSTRACT Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge

Genome sequence surveys of Brachiola algerae and Edhazardia aedis reveal microsporidia with low gene densities. [PDF]
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 of the ...

ABSTRACT Bumble bee (Bombus Latreille) populations of certain species have declined precipitously in North America over several decades. Hypotheses for declines include exposure to the pathogen Nosema bombi and neonicotinoid pesticides. Importantly, populations of some bumble bee species remain stable despite their presumed exposure to these same ...

Fungal evolution: diversity, taxonomy and phylogeny of the Fungi
ABSTRACT The fungal kingdom comprises a hyperdiverse clade of heterotrophic eukaryotes characterized by the presence of a chitinous cell wall, the loss of phagotrophic capabilities and cell organizations that range from completely unicellular monopolar organisms to highly complex syncitial filaments that may form macroscopic structures.

Strong Bottlenecks Constrain Adaptive Coevolution in a Host–Parasite Metapopulation
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 ...

Thermal biology of mosquito‐borne disease
Abstract Mosquito‐borne diseases cause a major burden of disease worldwide. The vital rates of these ectothermic vectors and parasites respond strongly and nonlinearly to temperature and therefore to climate change. Here, we review how trait‐based approaches can synthesise and mechanistically predict the temperature dependence of transmission across ...

ABSTRACT Microsporidia are emerging opportunistic pathogens in immunosuppressed individuals, including solid organ transplant recipients. We present a case of tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) caused by Microsporidia infection in a 55‐year‐old male who underwent combined liver–kidney transplantation (CLKT) for metabolic‐associated fatty liver disease ...

Barnettozyma californica is a member of the fungal microbiome of the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and can serve as food for worms. When combined with E. coli, this fungus can increase population growth and reduce foraging behaviour dependent on C. elegans genotype, revealing a genetic influence on host‐fungus‐bacterium interactions.
