food plants and animals. Microsporidia are diversely distributed, opportunistic, and density …

Parasitism, aptly defined as one of the 'living-together'strategies (Trager, 1986), presents a
dynamic system in which the parasite and its host are under evolutionary pressure to evolve …

Microsporidia cause important diseases in aquatic organisms. Susceptible hosts span a
