First identification of long non-coding RNAs in fungal parasite Nosema ceranae [PDF]
International audienceAbstractNosema ceranae is a unicellular fungal parasite of honey bees and causes huge losses for apiculture. Until present, no study on N. ceranae long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) was documented.

Nosema or Vairimorpha:Genomic/proteomic support to a complex socio-economic issue rooted in taxonomic change [PDF]
Microsporidia are disease-causing organisms that can infect invertebrate species. In apiculture, two microsporidians of importance are Vairimorpha (=Nosema) ceranae and Vairimorpha (=Nosema) apis.

Phagocytic Uptake of Nosema bombycis (Microsporidia) Spores by Insect Cell Lines
Microsporidia are highly specialized obligate intracellular parasites that can infect a wide variety of animals ranging from protists to mammals. The classical concept of the parasite invasion into a host cell involves its polar tube acting as a needle ...
