Clarifying the phylogeny and systematics of the recalcitrant tribe Leptocircini (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) with whole‐genome data

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 387-414, April 2025.
Production of de novo complete whole genomes and scaffolding with new reference genomes of Leptocircini allow to extract thousands of orthologous genes for almost all species of the tribe. Extensive phylogenomic analyses allow to revise taxonomy and systematics of the group based on phylogenomic trees representing 90% of Leptocircini. Whole‐genome data

High‐quality genome assemblies for nine non‐model North American insect species representing six orders (Insecta: Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Neuroptera)

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 8, November 2024.
Abstract Field‐collected specimens were used to obtain nine high‐quality genome assemblies from a total of 10 insect species native to prairies and savannas of central Illinois (USA): Mellilla xanthometata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Stenolophus ochropezus (Coleoptera: Carabidae), Forcipata loca (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), Coelinius sp.

Genomic survey of the non-cultivatable opportunistic human pathogen, Enterocytozoon bieneusi.

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most common microsporidian associated with human disease, particularly in the immunocompromised population. In the setting of HIV infection, it is associated with diarrhea and wasting syndrome.

Interactions between microsporidia and other members of the microbiome

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract The microbiome is the collection of microbes that are associated with a host. Microsporidia are intracellular eukaryotic parasites that can infect most types of animals. In the last decade, there has been much progress to define the relationship between microsporidia and the microbiome.

Genome evolution in intracellular parasites: Microsporidia and Apicomplexa

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract Microsporidia and Apicomplexa are eukaryotic, single‐celled, intracellular parasites with huge public health and economic importance. Typically, these parasites are studied separately, emphasizing their uniqueness and diversity. In this review, we explore the huge amount of genomic data that has recently become available for the two groups. We

Cytological and molecular description of Hamiltosporidium tvaerminnensis gen. et sp. nov., a microsporidian parasite of Daphnia magna, and establishment of Hamiltosporidium magnivora comb. nov. [PDF]

, 2010
We describe the new microsporidium Hamiltosporidium tvaerminnensis gen. et sp. nov. with an emphasis on its ultrastructural characteristics and phylogenetic position as inferred from the sequence data of SSU rDNA, alpha-and beta-tubulin.

Different agroecosystems have similar Anopheles–Microsporidia MB infection dynamics in the Ahero region of Western Kenya: implications for symbiont control strategies

Frontiers in Malaria
BackgroundMicrosporidia MB is a maternally inherited symbiont of several Anopheles species. In An. arabiensis, it is characterized by strong Plasmodium falciparum transmission blocking, stable vertical transmission, and no detectable virulence, making it

Bacterial Muscle Necrosis in Cultured Penaeus vannamei in Latin America

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
A pathology characterized by multifocal reddish patches on the cuticle of shrimp has been reported by shrimp farmers in Latin America. These red patches are commonly associated with small black necrotic spots and white muscle necrosis. One significant impact of this pathology is the reduction in shrimp prices due to the appearance of the animals before
