Phylogenetic position of Octosporea muscaedomesticae (Microsporidia) and its relationship to Octosporea bayeri based on small subunit rDNA analysis.
Multilamina teevani gen. et sp. nov., a microsporidian pathogen of the neotropical termite Uncitermes teevani.
Ultrastructure and molecular phylogenetics of a new isolate of Pleistophora pagri sp. nov. (Microsporidia, Pleistophoridae) from Pagrus pagrus in Egypt
TLDR
The spore morphology and molecular systematic of a new microsporidian which was isolated from the common sea bream Pagrus pagrus from the Red Sea, Egypt have been studied and showed that the sequence of theMicrosporidium was most similar to five Pleistophora species with degrees of identity.

Morphological and molecular biological characterization of Pleistophora aegyptiaca sp. nov. infecting the Red Sea fish Saurida tumbil
TLDR
Comparison of the nucleotide sequences and divergence showed that the sequence of the present microsporidium was most similar to that of Pleistophora anguillarum (99.8% identity) differing in 13 nucleotide positions, so the present species was recorded and phylogenetically positioned as a new species of Pleistsophora.
Evaluating Spore Count and Sporophorous Vesicle Size in Ovavesicula popilliae (Microsporidia: Ovavesiculidae) in Adult Japanese Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
TLDR
Varying number of spores may be due to failed divisions of sporonts, death of spores after formation, host effects or different pathogen strains.

Multiyear Survey of Coccidia, Cryptosporidia, Microsporidia, Histomona, and Hematozoa in Wild Quail in the Rolling Plains Ecoregion of Texas and Oklahoma, USA
TLDR
A survey on the prevalence of several protozoan parasites in wild northern bobwhite and scaled quail in the Rolling Plains ecoregion of Texas and Oklahoma suggests that coccidia infections are a significant risk factor in the health of wild quail while cryptosporidia and microsporidia may be much less significant than coccidiosis.

Molecular phylogeny of the Microsporidia: ecological, ultrastructural and taxonomic considerations.
TLDR
A comparative small subunit rDNA (ssrDNA) analysis of 125 species of Microsporidia shows that groups or clades are formed based largely on habitat and host, and indicates that structural and ultrastructural characters are unreliable for distinguishing among higher-level microsporidian taxa.

Phylogenetic analysis of beta-tubulin sequences from amitochondrial protozoa.
TLDR
Phylogenetic analysis of rRNA sequences from these amitochondrial organisms suggests that G. lamblia, T. vaginalis, and microsporidia are near the base of the eukaryotic tree, while E. histolytica clusters with mitochondria-containing species.

Epizootiological investigations of the microsporidium Ovavesicula popilliae and bacterium Bacillus popilliae in field populations of the Japanese beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
TLDR
Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman, population densities and prevalence of the pathogens Ovavesiculapopilliae Andreadis & Hanula and Bacillus popilliae Dutky are reported from three locations in Connecticut over a 3-yr period, and it is suggested that the effect of O. poppedilliae on its host is modified by environmental stress.

TLDR
