Microsporidia: a promising vector control tool for residual malaria transmission

, 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.

The Interaction Between the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and Its Coexisting Fungal Microbiome Member Barnettozyma californica

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.
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.

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.

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

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 ...

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

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.

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
