Microsporidia can infect a variety of hosts, including hosts which are themselves parasites. In that case, the microsporidian species is a hyperparasite , i.e. a parasite of a parasite. As an example, more than eighteen species are known which parasitize digeneans (parasitic flatworms ).
Microsporidiosis is an opportunistic intestinal infection that causes diarrhea and wasting in immunocompromised individuals (HIV, for example).It results from different species of microsporidia, a group of microbial (unicellular) fungi.
Enterocytozoon bieneusi, commonly known as microsporidia, is a unicellular, obligate intracellular eukaryote.Their life cycle includes a proliferative merogonic stage, followed by a sporogonic stage resulting in small, environmentally resistant, infective spores, which is their transmission mode.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has long been established as the standard technique for detection of microsporidia in humans, and attempts to apply this to rabbits are ongoing. Studies have found that PCR of liquified lens material is a reliable means of diagnosing E. cuniculi uveitis in rabbits, but PCR testing of rabbit urine and ...
Microsporidia are obligately unicellular spore forming organisms and are strictly intracellular parasites, [15] and are generally host-specific [1] and extremely dependent on their host. [15] Almost all stages of their lifecycle can only take place inside the host cells due to their characteristics lack of mitochondria and inability to perform ...
Nosema apis is a microsporidian, a small, unicellular parasite recently reclassified as a fungus that mainly affects honey bees.It causes nosemosis, also called nosema, which is the most common and widespread of adult honey bee diseases. [1]
