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 …

The microsporidian Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei from Penaeus vannamei (EHP Pv) was
redescribed on the basis of spore morphology, life cycle, pathology, and molecular …

Outbreaks of environmentally transmitted parasites require that susceptible hosts encounter
transmission stages in the environment and become infected, but we also know that …

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 …

Exophiala is a black fungi of the family Herpotrichiellaceae that can be found in a wide
range of environments like soil, water and the human body as potential opportunistic …

Infection outcomes can be strongly context dependent, shifting a host-symbiont relationship
along a parasitism-mutualism continuum. Numerous studies show that under stressful …

The determinants of variation in a species' genome-wide nucleotide diversity include
historical, environmental, and stochastic aspects. This diversity can inform us about the …

The impacts of microsporidia on host individuals are frequently subtle and can be context
dependent. A key example of the latter comes from a recently discovered microsporidian …

Environmentally transmitted parasites produce transmission stages that can remain viable
and infective for extended periods of time in the environment where susceptible hosts may …

There is intense interest in understanding pathogen virulence–that is, the degree of damage
caused to a host by a pathogen. However, despite abundant evidence that effects of …
