A secretory hexokinase plays an active role in the proliferation of Nosema bombycis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The microsporidian Nosema bombycis is an obligate intracellular parasite of Bombyx mori, that lost its intact tricarboxylic acid cycle and mitochondria during evolution but retained its intact glycolysis pathway. N. bombycis hexokinase (NbHK) is not only

Maturation of subtilisin-like protease NbSLP1 from microsporidia Nosema bombycis [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites and possess a unique way of invading hosts, namely germination. Microsporidia are able to infect almost all animal cells by germination. During the process, the polar tube extrudes from the spores within,
