Host specificity of microsporidia: Physiological and ecological considerations
… designed to predict the ecological host range of microsporidia, common protozoan pathogens of insects. In the first study, 49 nontarget lepidopteran species indigenous to North America were fed five biotypes of microsporidia which occur in European populations of Lymantria dispar but do not occur …

Microsporidia Spore Adherence and Host Cell Infection In Vitro
<p>Microsporidia infect invertebrate and vertebrate animals. Human pathogenic microsporidia are associated with severe disease in immunocompromised individuals, and mostly asymptomatic infection in the immunocompetent. Treatment options for microsporidiosis are limited, incompletely effective, and …

Chemotactic and inflammatory responses to and recognition of Encephalitozoon spp. of microsporidia
… by macrophages. The macrophage response to microsporidia is poorly understood. The information, described herein, is focused on defining the host-pathogen interaction and subsequent inflammatory response in human monocyte-derived-macrophages (MDM) against Encephalitozoon spp. of …

Examination of Microsporidia Spore Adherence and Host Cell Infection <em>In Vitro</em>.
<p>Microsporidia are obligate intracellular pathogens that cause severe disease in immunocompromised humans. While albendazole is the treatment of choice, no therapy exists that effectively treats all forms or causes of human microsporidiosis. Recent studies show that the microsporidian …

Localization of a Microsporidia ADAM (A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease Domain) Protein and Identification of Potential Binding Partners.
<p>Microsporidia are spore-forming, obligate intracellular pathogens typically associated with opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals. Treatment options for microsporidia infections in humans are limited and additional research is necessary to create better therapeutic agents. …

The Effects of Synthetic and Naturally Occurring Compounds on Microsporidian Infection in Insects
Microsporidia are intracellular, protist parasites infecting many animals, including insects and humans. There are currently no drugs available to cure microsporidiosis. In this thesis, I describe my work examining the effects of phytochemicals and pharmaceutical drugs on microsporidian infection …

A molecular phylogeny of the Microsporida
… group represents the basal lineage of the microsporidia examined. The genera included in this taxon (Amblyospora, Parathelohania, Edhazardia, and Culicosporella) are all parasites of mosquitos. The next group to come off of the tree is the Ichthyosporidium group. The Ichthyosporidium group, …

Ocorrência de infecções por Encephalitozoon spp. em coelhos do estado de São Paulo, Brasil
A encefalitozoonose é uma doença zoonótica causada por microsporídios do gênero Encephalitozoon e acomete uma ampla gama de aves, répteis e mamíferos, incluindo os coelhos, principal hospedeiro da espécie Encephalitozoon cuniculi. Esse estudo teve como objetivo investigar a ocorrência da presença …

Encephalitozoon cuniculi: diagnostic test and methods of inactivation
… species-specific antibodies. Recent reports of microsporidial DNA in crop irrigation waters suggest that unpasteurized juice products may be contaminated with E. cuniculi. High pressure processing (HPP) is an effective means of eliminating bacteria and extending the shelf life of products while …

Die parasitophore Vakuole des Mikrosporidiums Encephalitozoon cuniculi: Biogenese und Metabolitaustausch
Mikrosporidien besitzen einen einzigartigen Invasionsmechanismus, bei dem ein so genannter Polartubulus explosionsartig aus der Mikrosporidien-Spore geschleudert wird. Das bisherige Infektionsmodell postuliert, dass der Polartubulus beim Herausschleudern die Plasmamembran einer benachbarten …
