Ultrastructural analysis supports transferring Nosema whitei Weiser 1953 to the genus Paranosema and creation a new combination, Paranosema whitei

Analogs of the Golgi complex in microsporidia: structure and avesicular mechanisms of function

“…We used two microsporidia species: P. grylli (owing to the convenience of manipulations) and P. locustae (to make use of the database from the Nosema locustae Genome Project, http:// jbpc.mbl.edu/Nosema/index.html), two very closely related species with genes that show about 95% identity (our unpublished observations) (see also Sokolova et al, 2005). Most of data presented here are from P. grylli; however, all of our conclusions were also confirmed in P. locustae (see supplementary material Figs S2-S4).…”

The phylogenetic position of Ovavesicula popilliae (Microsporidia) and its relationship to Antonospora and Paranosema based on small subunit rDNA analysis

“…Both Paranosema and Antonospora are morphologically and developmentally distinct from Ovavesicula. They are diplokaryotic throughout most of the life cycle, exhibit disporous sporogony, and produce ovocylindrical binucleate spores (Fries et al, 1999;Sokolova et al, 2005).…”

Development, ultrastructure, natural occurrence, and molecular characterization of Liebermannia patagonica n. g., n. sp., a microsporidian parasite of the grasshopper Tristira magellanica (Orthoptera: Tristiridae)

“…Table 1 Known species of microsporidia from Orthoptera a Slamovits et al (2004) proposed the transfer of Nosema locustae to the genus Antonospora, erecting the new combination A. locustae. However, we consider the earlier assignment by Sokolova et al (2003) of N. locustae to the genus Paranosema more appropriate as justiWed by Sokolova et al (2005).…”
