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.

Microbes and Infection, 2000
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

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2015
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.

Abstract Microspora are ubiquitous obligate intracellular spore-forming protozoa! parasites. Six species are known to infect humans. Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most frequently identified human microspora and generally remains confined to the gastrointestinal tract. It most commonly infects the proximal small bowel, but

Abstract Microsporidia are obligate intracellular eukaryotic pathogens related to the Fungi that can infect both vertebrates and invertebrates. They were first identified about 150 years ago as the cause of pebrine, a disease of silkworms, with the description of Nosema bombycis in these economically important insects. They were first

Mucosal abnormalities in microsporidiosis
AIDS, 1997To determine the prevalence of microsporidiosis in HIV-infected patients with and without diarrhoea and to characterize alterations in mucosal architecture and brush border enzyme activities in patients with microsporidiosis.A total of 259 HIV-infected patients undergoing oesophago-gastroduodenoscopy because of diarrhoea (n = 123) or other symptoms (n =

Drug treatment of microsporidiosis
Drug Resistance Updates, 2000Microsporidia are ubiquitous organisms that are emerging pathogens in humans. These are most likely zoonotic and/or waterborne infections. In the immunosuppressed host, such as those treated with immunosuppressive drugs or infected with human immunodeficiency virus particularly at advanced stages of the disease, microsporidia can produce a wide range ...

Workup of Gastrointestinal Microsporidiosis
Digestive Diseases, 2008Microsporidia, which are members of the phylum Microspora, are increasingly recognized as causing opportunistic infections in persons with immunodeficiency (e.g., AIDS). Diarrhea is the predominant clinical sign associated with infections by two Microsporidia, namely Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon intestinalis (which was formerly named ...

Diagnostic Pathology of Microsporidiosis
Ultrastructural Pathology, 2003Microsporidia are ubiquitous spore-forming parasites that are important worldwide pathogens in the HIV/AIDS pandemic. They are also increasingly being seen in HIV(-) individuals. Infection has been documented in almost every tissue and organ in the body and in a broad spectrum of cell types, including epithelial, mesenchymal, and neural.
