Microsporidia are obligate intracellular pathogens identified∼ 150 years ago as the cause
of pébrine, an economically important infection in silkworms. There are about 220 genera …

Emerging diseases are impacting animals under high‐density culture, yet few studies
assess their importance to wild populations. Microparasites selected for enhanced virulence …

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 …

This chapter reviews the morphological features and development of the more typical
microsporidian life cycles. It refers the microsporidia as protists. The general life cycle …

Infectious gill diseases of marine salmonid fish present a significant challenge in salmon‐
farming regions. Infectious syndromes or disease conditions affecting marine‐farmed …

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

Piscine orthoreovirus Strain PRV-1 is the causative agent of heart and skeletal muscle
inflammation (HSMI) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar Linnaeus, 1758). Given its high …

Glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation are the fundamental pathways of ATP generation
in eukaryotes. Yet in microsporidia, endoparasitic fungi living at the limits of cellular …

This study examines the potential implications of biofouling management on the
development of an infectious disease in Norwegian farmed salmon. The hydroid Ectopleura …

Parasitic infections can be occasionally severe in the European marine aquaculture
industry, including the Mediterranean region, as they can incur considerable financial …
