Microsporidiosis [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1998
Abstract Four microsporidia have been reported from mammals other than man. These are: Encephalitozoon cuniculi, causing disseminated infections in a wide range of rodents, lagomorphs, carnivores, and primates; Thelohania apodemi, giving rise to cysts in the brain of field mice, Apodemus sylvaticus; Microsporidium buyukmichii in the ...

Extraintestinal Microsporidiosis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2014
ABSTRACT Microsporidia are highly specialized obligate intracellular organisms that are closely related to fungi. Although traditionally associated with diarrheal illness in patients with AIDS, extraintestinal infections involving various organs have been reported with increasing frequency in the past decade, particularly in immunocompromised

A broad distribution of the alternative oxidase in microsporidian parasites [PDF]

, 2010
Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular parasitic eukaryotes that were considered to be amitochondriate until the recent discovery of highly reduced mitochondrial organelles called mitosomes. Analysis of the complete genome of Encephalitozoon
