| molecular data and phylogeny of nosema infecting lepidopteran forest defoliators in the genera choristoneura and malacosoma. | nosema isolates from five lepidopteran forest defoliators, nosema fumiferanae from spruce budworm, choristoneura fumiferana; a nosema sp. from jack pine budworm, choristoneura pinus pinus and western spruce budworm, choristoneura occidentalis (nosema sp. cpp and nosema sp. co, respectively); nosema thomsoni from large aspen tortrix, choristoneura conflictana; and nosema disstriae, from the forest tent caterpillar, malacosoma disstria were compared based on their small subunit (ssu) ribosomal rna ... | 2008 | 18251803 |
| Diversity of Nosema associated with bumblebees (Bombus spp.) from China. | Bumblebees (Bombus spp.) are important pollinators of many economically important crops and microsporidia are among the most important infections of these hosts. Using molecular markers, we screened a large sample (n=1,009 bees) of workers of 27 different Bombus spp. from China (Sichuan, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, and Gansu provinces). The results showed that 62 individuals representing 12 Bombus spp. were infected by microsporidia with an overall prevalence of 6.1%. Based on the haplotypes (ssrRN ... | 2012 | 22138016 |
| widespread occurrence of honey bee pathogens in solitary bees. | solitary bees and honey bees from a neighbouring apiary were screened for a broad set of putative pathogens including protists, fungi, spiroplasmas and viruses. most sampled bees appeared to be infected with multiple parasites. interestingly, viruses exclusively known from honey bees such as apis mellifera filamentous virus and varroa destructor macula-like virus were also discovered in solitary bees. a microsporidium found in andrena vaga showed most resemblance to nosema thomsoni. our results ... | 2014 | 25196470 |
| nosema adaliae sp. nov., a new microsporidian pathogen from the two-spotted lady beetle, adalia bipunctata l. (coleoptera: coccinellidae) and its relationship to microsporidia that infect other coccinellids. | the two-spotted lady beetle, adalia bipunctata l., is a tree-dwelling lady beetle endemic to parts of europe, central asia and north america that is commercially available for aphid control in europe and north america. lady beetles host a wide variety of symbionts including parasitoids, viruses, eugregarines, fungi, bacteria, nematodes and microsporidia. four species of microsporidia have been described from lady beetles, and an undescribed microsporidium was recently isolated from local populat ... | 2014 | 24135414 |
