morphological characterization and hsp70-, igs-based phylogenetic analysis of two microsporidian parasites isolated from antheraea pernyi. | two microsporidian isolates were extracted from single infected egg-laying tussah silk moth (antheraea pernyi) in liaoning province, china. the microsporidia were subsequently grown in silk moth larvae, isolated, and subjected to morphological characterization (by light and transmission electron microscopy) and phylogenetic analysis (based on conserved genes). one type of spore was long-axis-oval in shape, measuring 4.71 × 1.95 μm, and the other type was short-axis-oval, measuring 3.64 × 2.17 μm ... | 2017 | 28111712 |
