Identification, expression and subcellular localization of Orc1 in the microsporidian Nosema bombycis

Gene, 2022
As a typical species of microsporidium, Nosema bombycis is the pathogen causing the pébrine disease of silkworm. Rapid proliferation of N. bombycis in host cells requires replication of genetic material. As eukaryotic origin recognition protein, origin recognition complex (ORC) plays an important role in regulating DNA replication, and Orc1 is a key ...

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).

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Quantitative proteomic analysis of ovaries from Nosema bombycis-infected silkworm (Bombyx mori)

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2020
The microsporidium Nosema bombycis is an obligate intracellular parasite of Bombyx mori and causes serious losses in the sericulture industry. The isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) methods have been used to study numerous pathogen-host interactions. Here, using iTRAQ technology, we explored the quantitative proteomics by gene

Transcriptome analysis reveals changes in silkworm energy metabolism during Nosema bombycis infection

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2021
Energy metabolism is important for the proliferation of microsporidia in infected host cells, but there is limited information on the host response. The energy metabolism response of silkworm (Bombyx mori) to microsporidia may help manage Nosema bombycis infections.

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
