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.

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.

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.

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).

Identification and subcellular localization of the chaperonin NbCCTβ in Nosema bombycis

Gene
Nosema bombycis, the causative agent of pebrine disease, poses a significant threat to the silkworm industry due to its negative impact on silkworm health and productivity. The chaperonin-containing tailless complex polypeptide (CCT) plays a crucial role in protein folding, and its β subunit (CCTβ) is essential for the proper folding of cytoskeletal ...

Some properties of ribosomes from the sporoplasm of Nosema bombycis

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1968
Abstract Ribosomes were separated from the sporoplasm of the microsporidian Nosema bombycis , and some properties were studied by using a sucrose density gradient. The ribosomes were mainly monoribosomes with a sedimentation coefficient resembling that of Escherichia coli (= 70 S), and in the medium containing Mg 2+ ions of less than 0.1m m ...

Preliminary genomic characterization of microsporidian Nosema bombycis

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2000
In order to characterize the genome of Nosema bombycis, the techniques of karyotyping, pulsed field gel electrophoresis, and polymerase chain reaction were applied. Nosema genomic DNA moved as 23 kb fragment on a standard agarose gel. The karyotype showed four chromosomes, the molecular karyotyping by pulsed field gel electrophoresis also showed four ...

SWP25, a novel protein associated with the Nosema bombycis endospore.

The Journal of eukaryotic microbiology, 2011
Microsporidia are eukaryotic, obligate intracellular, spore-forming parasites. The resistant spores, which harbor a rigid cell wall, are critical for their host-to-host transmission and persistence in the environment. The spore wall comprises two major layers: the exospore and the endospore.
