| redefinition of nosema pyrausta (perezia pyraustae paillot 1927) basing upon ultrastructural and molecular phylogenetic studies. | populations of european corn borer (ostrinia nubilalis hübner) from krasnodar territory (southwestern russia) become regularly infected with nosema-like microsporidia. to identify the parasite, it was subjected to electron microscopy and small subunit ribosomal rna (ssu rrna) gene sequencing. the spore ultrastructure of the parasite was highly similar to nosema bombycis from china and nosema pyrausta from the usa. the nucleotide sequence of ssu rrna gene was identical to a microsporidium isolate ... | 2015 | 25563606 |
