Perilipin1 inhibits Nosema bombycis proliferation by promoting Domeless- and Hop-mediated JAK-STAT pathway activation in Bombyx mori [PDF]
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles that participate in the regulation of lipid metabolism and cellular homeostasis inside of cells. LD-associated proteins, also known as perilipins (PLINs), are a family of proteins found on the surface of LDs ...

Molecular Diagnostic Tests for Microsporidia
The Microsporidia are a ubiquitous group of eukaryotic obligate intracellular parasites which were recognized over 100 years ago with the description of Nosema bombycis, a parasite of silkworms.

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

Unveiling the conserved mechanism of microsporidian vertical transmission: A comparative study of Nosema infection across host species [PDF]
Microsporidia, ubiquitous obligate intracellular parasites infecting a wide range of hosts from humans to economically vital animals, employ transovarial transmission (TOT) as their primary vertical transmission mode.

A comparative study on artificial germination of two microsporidia under the neutralization method [PDF]
Lamerin microspridia (Lbms) isolated from Lamerin breed of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, L. and the standard strain Nosema bombycis, were induced to germinate artificially by two-step procedure.

Identification and subcellular localisation of hexokinase-2 in Nosema bombycis [PDF]
Hexokinase (HXK) is the first key enzyme in the glycolytic pathway and plays an extremely important role in energy metabolism. By searching the microsporidian database, we found a sequence (NBO_27g0008) of Nosema bombycis Nägali, 1857 with high similarity to hexokinase-2, and named it as NbHXK2.

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

Draft genome sequence of the Daphnia pathogen Octosporea bayeri: insights into the gene content of a large microsporidian genome and a model for host-parasite interactions [PDF]
Background: The highly compacted 2.9-Mb genome of Encephalitozoon cuniculi placed the microsporidia in the spotlight, encoding a mere 2,000 proteins and a highly reduced suite of biochemical pathways.
