Abstract excerpt
Microsporidia are long-known parasites of a wide variety of invertebrate and vertebrate hosts. The emergence of these obligate intracellular organisms as important opportunistic pathogens during the AIDS pandemic and the discovery of new species in humans renewed interest in this unique group of organisms. This review summarises recent advances in the field of molecular biology of microsporidia which (i)...
