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

Functional characterization of an aquaporin from a microsporidium, Nosema bombycis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Microsporidia are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms, capable of causing parasitic infections in both vertebrates and invertebrates. During the germination process, there is an increase in the osmotic pressure of microsporidian spores.

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,

Engineered resistance to Nosema bombycis by in vitro expression of a single-chain antibody in Sf9-III cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Nosema bombycis is a destructive, obligate intracellular parasite of the Bombyx mori. In this study, a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) dependent technology is developed for the purpose of inhibiting parasite proliferation in insect cells.
