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

Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites that can infect a wide range of hosts. They
cause death and disease in both humans and agriculturally important animals. They have …

Compared to the higher fungi (Dikarya), taxonomic and evolutionary studies on the basal
clades of fungi are fewer in number. Thus, the generic boundaries and higher ranks in the …

Intracellular parasitism often results in gene loss, genome reduction, and dependence upon
the host for cellular functioning. Rozellomycota is a clade comprising many such parasites …

Background Microsporidia are a large taxon of intracellular pathogens characterized by
extraordinarily streamlined genomes with unusually high sequence divergence and many …

Microsporidia are obligate intracellular eukaryotic parasites with an extremely broad host
range. They have both economic and public health importance. Ploidy in microsporidia is …

The genus Vairimorpha was proposed for several species of Nosema in 1976 (Pilley, 1976),
almost 70 years after Nosema apis Zander (Zander, 1909). Tokarev and colleagues …

Microsporidia comprise a phylum of single cell, intracellular parasites and represent the
earliest diverging branch in the fungal kingdom. The microsporidian parasite Nosema …

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 …

Since the advent of sequencing techniques and due to their continuous evolution, it has
become easier and less expensive to obtain the complete genome sequence of any …
