DNA Probes for Two Microsporidia, Nosema bombycis and Nosema costelytrae

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1995
Two DNA fragments which hybridize specifically with DNA of Nosema bombycis and Nosema costelytrae, respectively, were obtained from genomic DNA of each microsporidian species and sequenced. Neither fragment hybridized with genomic DNA from four other microsporidian isolates tested: Nosema apis, Vairimorpha sp. from cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae)

Inactivation and mechanisms of chlorine dioxide on Nosema bombycis

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2010
Biological tests demonstrated that the inactivation of Nosema bombycis (N. bombycis) spores by chlorine dioxide (ClO(2)) occurs very fast and is highly sensitive. The lowest effective inactivation dosage and time was 15mg/mL for 30min. The inactivation of spores was additionally verified by using double color fluorescence stain and spore germination ...

A specific molecular label for identifying mature Nosema bombycis spores

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2020
Microsporidia are a fascinating phylum of obligate intracellular pathogens with unique infection processes and complicated life cycles. Microsporidian life cycles can be divided roughly into intracellular and extracellular stages. Currently, research on their life cycles were mainly explored by morphology because there are few molecular markers ...

Hemocytin facilitates host immune responses against Nosema bombycis

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2020
Invertebrates lack an adaptive immune response and thus are reliant on their innate immune response for eliminating invading pathogens. The innate immune responses of silkworms against the pathogen Nosema bombycis include: hemocyte aggregation, melanization, antimicrobial peptides, etc.

The Protein Import Pore Tom40 in the Microsporidian Nosema bombycis

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2012
AbstractMicrosporidia, an unusual group of unicellular parasites related to fungi, possess a highly reduced mitochondrion known as the mitosome. Since mitosomes lack an organellar genome, their proteins must be translated in the cytosol before being imported into the mitosome via translocases.

The genomic survey of Tc1-like elements in the silkworm microsporidia Nosema bombycis

Acta Parasitologica, 2019
Microsporidia Nosema bombycis is the destructive pathogen in the production of sericulture. The Tc1/mariner elements belong to important component of DNA transposon.The genomic data of N. bombycis and related Nosema species were screened to identify the Tc1-like elements and analyzed the phylogenetic relationship, based on bioinformational analysis ...

Experimental Infection of Hyphantria cunea with Nosema bombycis

The Journal of Parasitology, 1940
Although the majority of parasitic protozoa invade in general a specific host animal, often confining themselves to a particular organ or tissue, there are others which parasitize various organs or tissues of several host species. The microsporidian, Nosema bombycis, appears to be one of those which belong to the latter group.

Metabolomic analysis of lipid changes in Bombyx mori infected with Nosema bombycis

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2023
The silkworm (Bombyx mori) is a model species of lepidopteran insect. Microsporidium spp. are obligate intracellular eukaryotic parasites. Infection by the microsporidian Nosema bombycis (Nb) results in an outbreak of Pébrine disease in silkworms and causes substantial losses to the sericulture industry.

Natural selection maintains the transcribed LTR retrotransposons in Nosema bombycis

Journal of Genetics and Genomics, 2010
Eight intact LTR retrotransposons (Nbr1-Nbr8) have been previously characterized from the genome of Nosema bombycis, a eukaryotic parasite with a compact and reduced genome. Here we describe six novel transcribed Nbr elements (Nbr9-Nbr14) identified through either cDNA library or RT-PCR.

Multiple rDNA units distributed on all chromosomes of Nosema bombycis

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2008
Among Microsporidia, Nosema bombycis has a novel arrangement of LSUrRNA, SSUrRNA, ITS, IGS and 5SrRNA. To determine the distribution of rDNA among the chromosomes, we performed genome-wide screening and Southern blotting with three probes (SSU, ITS and IGS).
