DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evy205

Abstract: Abstract Metchnikovellids are highly specialized hyperparasites, which infect and reproduce inside gregarines (Apicomplexa) inhabiting marine invertebrates. Their phylogenetic affiliation was under constant discussion until recently, when analysis of the first near-complete metchnikovellid genome, that of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jee/toae072

Abstract: Microsporidia Nosema bombycis (Nb) is a cellular parasite responsible for pébrine disease in silkworms, significantly impacting the sericulture industry. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are RNA fragments longer than 200 nucleotides, are pivotal in a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mmy/myaf065

Abstract: Microsporidia are single-celled, fungi-related eukaryotic intracellular parasites able to infect a wide diversity of invertebrate and vertebrate hosts. Among them, Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon spp. (including Enc. cuniculi, Enc. hellem, and Enc. intestinalis) are known… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.06.20.496912

Abstract: Animals are under constant selective pressure from a myriad of diverse pathogens. Microsporidia are ubiquitous animal parasites, but the influence they exert on shaping animal genomes is mostly unknown. Using multiplexed competition assays, we measured… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeu.12944

Abstract: Microsporidia are obligatory intracellular parasites related to fungi and since their discovery their classification and origin has been controversial due to their unique morphology. Early taxonomic studies of microsporidia were based on ultrastructural spore features,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aem.00270-24

Abstract: ABSTRACT Microsporidia are unfriendly microorganisms, and their infections cause considerable damage to economically or environmentally important insects like silkworms and honeybees. Thus, the identification of measures to improve host resistance to microsporidia infections is critically… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-025-05247-3

Abstract: Microsporidia MB, a naturally occurring Anopheles symbiont was shown to strongly impair Plasmodium transmission without imposing deleterious fitness effects on larval development, fecundity, adult survival, and adult sex ratio, and for these reasons it is… read more here.
