Aspects of Genetic Diversity, Host Specificity and Public Health Significance of Single‐Celled Intestinal Parasites Commonly Observed in Humans and Mostly Referred to as ‘Non‐Pathogenic’

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

Pesticide and Pathogen Exposure Causes Idiosyncratic Gene Expression Responses Across Four Diverse North American Bumble Bee Species

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.

Thermal biology of mosquito‐borne disease

Ecology Letters, Volume 22, Issue 10, Page 1690-1708, October 2019., 2019
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 ...

Tubulointerstitial Nephritis Post‐Microsporidium Infection in a Combined Liver–Kidney Transplanted Patient: A Case Report

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 ...

Revisions to the Classification, Nomenclature, and Diversity of Eukaryotes

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 4-119, January/February 2019., 2019
Abstract This revision of the classification of eukaryotes follows that of Adl et al., 2012 [J. Euk. Microbiol. 59(5)] and retains an emphasis on protists. Changes since have improved the resolution of many nodes in phylogenetic analyses. For some clades even families are being clearly resolved.

Microsporidia MB in the primary malaria vector Anopheles gambiae s.s. is avirulent and undergoes maternal and horizontal transmission

, 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.

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.

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.
