Abstract excerpt
The microsporidian Encephalitozoon cuniculi can infect numerous mammals, including man. Three strains of E. cuniculi have been identified so far, the major marker being the number of a tetranucleotide repeats in the rDNA internal transcribed spacer. We investigated diversity at the chromosomal level through the electrophoretic karyotypes obtained from 15 E. cuniculi isolates from 5 different host species. All...
