Microsporidia are obligate intracellular pathogens related to Fungi. These organisms have a
unique invasion organelle, the polar tube, which upon appropriate environmental …

Nosema ceranae is a hot topic in honey bee health as reflected by numerous papers
published every year. This review presents an update of the knowledge generated in the last …

Most of the described species in kingdom Fungi are contained in two phyla, the Ascomycota
and the Basidiomycota (subkingdom Dikarya). As a result, our understanding of the biology …

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are critical agricultural pollinators as well as model organisms
for research on development, behavior, memory, and learning. The parasite Nosema …

The question of how phenotypic and genomic complexity are inter‐related and how they are
shaped through evolution is a central question in biology that historically has been …

Genomic data has opened new possibilities to understand how organisms change over
time, and could enable the discovery of previously undescribed species. Although taxonomy …

Environmental DNA surveys reveal that most fungal diversity represents uncultured species.
We sequenced the genomes of eight uncultured species across the fungal tree of life using a …

Domesticated and native bees face a variety of deadly threats that cause mortality and
reduced fecundity and thus, by extension, endanger agriculture and native plant …

Microsporidia are eukaryotic parasites of many animals that appear to have adapted to an
obligate intracellular lifestyle by modifying the morphology and content of their cells. Living …

Microsporidia and Apicomplexa are eukaryotic, single‐celled, intracellular parasites with
huge public health and economic importance. Typically, these parasites are studied …
