Microsporidia are obligate intracellular pathogens identified ∼150 years ago as the cause of pébrine, an economically important infection in silkworms. There are about 220 genera and 1,700 species of microsporidia, which are classified based on their ultrastructural features, developmental cycle, host-parasite relationship, and molecular analysis.

Microsporidiosis in the Tuatara
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1971SUMMARY Plistophora sp., Microsporida, which is primarily a protozoan parasite of fish, caused death in a male and female pair of adult New Zealand tuataras (Sphenodon punctatus). The infected tuataras lost weight and became increasingly lethargic and anorectic for 8 to 12 weeks prior to death.

Microsporidia are small, single-celled, obligately intracellular parasites that have caused significant agricultural losses and interference with biomedical research. Interest in the microsporidia is growing, as these organisms are recognized as agents of opportunistic infections in persons with AIDS and in organ transplant recipients. Microsporidiosis

Infection by the ingested pathogens of microsporidia occur primarily in immunosuppressed patients (including untreated HIV/AIDS) and are diagnosed by stool examination, small bowel biopsy with special stains, or electron microscopy (for definitive speciation), or by various molecular techniques.
