Molecular and biochemical responses in the midgut of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, infected with Nosema bombycis [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Microsporidia are a group of eukaryotic intracellular parasites that infect almost all vertebrates and invertebrates. However, there is little information available of how microsporidia obtain nutrients and energy from host cells.

Identification, Diversity and Evolution of MITEs in the Genomes of Microsporidian Nosema Parasites. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) are short, non-autonomous DNA transposons, which are widespread in most eukaryotic genomes. However, genome-wide identification, origin and evolution of MITEs remain largely obscure in microsporidia.

Treatment of Microsporidium Nosema bombycis Spores with the New Antiseptic M250 Helps to Avoid Bacterial and Fungal Contamination of Infected Cultures without Affecting Parasite Polar Tube Extrusion [PDF]

Microorganisms
Microsporidia are a group of widespread eukaryotic spore-forming intracellular parasites of great economic and scientific importance. Since microsporidia cannot be cultured outside of a host cell, the search for new antimicrosporidian drugs requires an ...

Genome-wide transcriptional response of silkworm (Bombyx mori) to infection by the microsporidian Nosema bombycis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Microsporidia have attracted much attention because they infect a variety of species ranging from protists to mammals, including immunocompromised patients with AIDS or cancer. Aside from the study on Nosema ceranae, few works have focused on elucidating

Establishment and application of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification method based on MetAP2 gene for the detection of Nosema bombycis in silkworms (Bombyx mori) [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Pebrine, caused by Nosema bombycis, is a devastating disease of silkworms that causes huge economic losses to the sericulture farmers. Although pebrine is a quarantine disease, currently the development of effective molecular diagnostic or therapeutic ...

Sar1 Interacts with Sec23/Sec24 and Sec13/Sec31 Complexes: Insight into Its Involvement in the Assembly of Coat Protein Complex II in the Microsporidian Nosema bombycis [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Microsporidia, as unicellular eukaryotes, also have an endomembrane system for transporting proteins, which is essentially similar to those of other eukaryotes.

Serpin 4/5 of Nosema bombycis: Molecular Characterization, Subcellular Localization and Pathogenic Roles in Interactions with Bombyx mori [PDF]

Microorganisms
Nosema bombycis, the causal agent of silkworm pébrine disease, causes substantial economic losses to sericulturists annually. Previously, 19 serpin genes (NbSPNs) were identified in this parasite, but most of their functions remain unidentified yet. Here,

A monoclonal antibody that tracks endospore formation in the microsporidium Nosema bombycis. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2015
Nosema bombycis, el primer microsporidium identificado, es un patógeno destructivo del gusano de seda Bombyx mori y causa graves pérdidas económicas mundiales en la sericultura. Se sabe que las principales proteínas estructurales de los microsporidios, como la proteína de la pared de las esporas (SWP), están involucradas en la invasión del huésped.
