A review of the development of two types of human skeletal muscle infections from microsporidia associated with pathology in invertebrates and cold-blooded vertebrates.
Traditionally, the Microsporidia were primarily studied in insects and fish. There were only a few human cases of microsporidiosis reported until the advent of AIDS, when the number of human microsporidian infections dramatically increased and the importance of these new pathogens to medicine became evident. Over a dozen different kinds of microsporidia infecting humans have been reported. Whil...
متن کاملReproductive strategies and adaptations for survival among obligatory microsporidian and fungal parasites of mosquitoes: a comparative analysis of Amblyospora and Coelomomyces.
Amblyospora (Microsporida: Amblyosporidae) and Coelomomyces (Chytridiomycetes: Blastocladiales) have independently evolved a diverse array of unique and highly specialized mechanisms that have allowed them to more fully exploit their mosquito hosts and the aquatic environment that their hosts inhabit. Amblyospora and Coelomomyces both have complex life cycles that include obligatory development...

متن کاملA dry-fracture technique for the optimum preparation of microsporidia-infected tissues for scanning electron microscopy
A technique for the optimum preparation of microsporidia for scanning electron microscopy is described. Microsporidian-infected tissues were subjected to a triple fixation procedure followed by slow dehydration and critical point drying. Fracturing of the tissue to reveal details of both host and parasite was delayed until immediately before coating of specimens with gold; the exposed parasites...
متن کاملPhylogeny of amblyospora (Microsporida: amblyosporidae) and related genera based on small subunit ribosomal DNA data: A possible example of host parasite cospeciation.
Small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene sequences were analyzed for six species and four genera of microsporidia from mosquito hosts; Amblyospora stimuli (Aedes stimulans), Amblyospora californica (Culex tarsalis), Amblyospora sp. (Culex salinarius), Edhazardia aedis (Aedes aegypti), Culicosporella lunata (Culex pilosus), and Parathelohania anophelis (Anopheles quadrimaculatus). Comparison ...
