Microbes and infection - 1 Apr 2001
Dunn A M, Smith J E
Abstract excerpt
The microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites which have diverse life cycles involving both horizontal and vertical transmission and parasitise a wide range of vertebrate and invertebrate hosts.

We focus in particular on the relationship between parasite transmission and virulence and its implications for host-parasite...
