Nosema bombycis Replication in a Manduca sexta Cell Line

The Journal of Parasitology, 1984
Nineteen B. glabrata (NIH-PR 1 strain) which had been individually exposed to 5-10 S. mansoni miracidia 58 days previously were placed in the apparatus. The average size of these snails was 15.2 mm + 1.65 mm. The snails were allowed to acclimatize to the apparatus for 3 days. Following this period, cercarial emergence from each snail was measured every

Nosema bombycis: A remarkable unicellular parasite infecting insects

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology
AbstractMicrosporidia are opportunistic fungal‐like pathogens that cause microsporidiosis, which results in significant economic losses and threatens public health. Infection of domesticated silkworms by the microsporidium Nosema bombycis causes pébrine disease, for which this species of microsporidia has received much attention.

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 ...

Divergence of a Tandem Duplication of Manganese Superoxide Dismutase in Nosema bombycis

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2017
AbstractManganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is a key enzyme in the protection of cells from oxidative stress. A tandem duplication of the MnSOD gene (NbMnSOD1 and NbMnSOD2) in the genome of Nosema bombycis, a parasite of the silkworm Bombyx mori, was previously identified.

Analyses of the Ribosomal DNA Region in Nosema bombycis NIS 001

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2004
ABSTRACT Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) containing small subunit (SSU) rDNA and both flanking regions in the entomopathogenic microsporidian Nosema bombycis NIS 001 was amplified from genomic DNA with a primer set based on the sequence of an inverse polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ‐derived fragment. In this fragment, SSU rDNA was divided by a 618‐bp insert at nt

Immunological characterization of spore proteins of the microsporidian Nosema bombycis

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1999
The spore proteins of the microsporidian, Nosema bombycis, from the silkworm, Bombyx mori were analysed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The western blot analysis using total antibodies showed major antigenic peptides of sizes 94, 68, 45, 31, 28, 17 and 12.5 kDa.

In vitro expression and functional characterization of NPA motifs in aquaporins of Nosema bombycis

Parasitology Research, 2018
Nosema bombycis contains functional aquaporins (NbAQPs), which are key targets for exploring the mechanism of N. bombycis infection; however, the regulation of these NbAQPs remains unknown. The two highly conserved asparagine-proline-alanine sequences (NPA motifs) play important roles in AQP biogenesis. As part of this study, we constructed a series of

Functional characterization of trehalases 1, 2, and 4 in Nosema bombycis (microsporidia)

Microbial Pathogenesis
Pebrine caused by Nosema bombycis infection is one of the most threatening diseases that affect sericulture. Trehalases play important roles in the lives of organisms, such as spore germination, insect flight, and stress resistance. The genome of N. bombycis has four trehalase genes, but their functions in the infection and development of N.

[Characterization and analysis of mitochondrial protein frataxin in Nosema bombycis].

Wei sheng wu xue bao = Acta microbiologica Sinica, 2009
Frataxin protein is a component of Fe-S clusters and closely related to metabolism of mitochondria. We identified an integrity mitochondrial protein frataxin gene (Nbfra), analyzed its phylogenetic relationship, and confirmed the transcriptase activity of Nbfra in N. bombycis.We analyzed the sequence of the second structure, gene location in genome and

Strategies for diagnosing Nosema bombycis (Microsporidia: Nosematidae); the agent of pebrine disease

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology
Pebrine disease, caused by Nosema bombycis (N. bombycis), is the most important pathogen known to the silk industry. Historical evidence from several countries shows that the outbreaks of pebrine disease have largely caused the decline of the sericulture industry.
