Microsporidia are obligate intracellular spore-forming protozoal parasites belonging to the
phylum Microspora. Their host range is extensive, including most invertebrates and all …

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 …

Microsporidiosis (nosema disease) of the honeybee, Apis mellifera, has spread worldwide
