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 ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.Using 18S rDNA metabarcoding of stomach contents from two Antarctic nototheniid fishes, we detected 242 parasite OTUs. Protists dominated diversity, metazoans dominated abundance, and depth structured assemblages. Novel parasite–host associations and previously unreported pathogenic protists highlight fish metabarcoding as a tool for biodiversity and ...

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 ...

APMIS, Volume 133, Issue 9, September 2025.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

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 17, September 2025.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
Biological Reviews, Volume 94, Issue 6, Page 2101-2137, December 2019., 2019 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.

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

Strong Bottlenecks Constrain Adaptive Coevolution in a Host–Parasite Metapopulation
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 17, September 2025.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 ...

Nephrology, Volume 30, Issue 9, September 2025.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 ...
