Disease relevance of Glugea

Preliminary results show the variability of the antigenic profiles obtained from the sera of immunodeficient patients infected with E. bieneusi and also of the cross-reactivity to Glugea sp. antigens of some sera from patients with cryptosporidiosis [1].

High impact information on Glugea

Populations of discharging tubes of Glugea hertwigi spores pulse-labeled with latex particles for 1-3 s were consistently devoid of label at the distal ends; discharging tubes were completely labeled after 30- to 60-s exposure to latex [2].
The level of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6omega3) attained 26-28% in Glugea atherinae, Spraguea lophii, and Glugea americanus, but only 8-9% in P. mirandellae [3].
Treatment of fish parasites. 11. Effects of different benzimidazole derivatives (albendazole, mebendazole, fenbendazole) on Glugea anomala, Moniez, 1887 (Microsporidia): ultrastructural aspects and efficacy studies [4].
The respiratory burst assay was conducted using the nitroblue tetrazolium reduction method and horseradish peroxidase method to investigate the events when ayu head kidney macrophages phagocytize fresh and formalin-killed Glugea plecoglossi spores [5].
Polar tube formation and nucleoside diphosphatase activity in the microsporidian, Glugea stephani [6].

Biological context of Glugea

Complete nucleotide sequences of the genes putatively encoding translation elongation factors 1 alpha (EF-1 alpha) and 2 (EF-2) from a mitochondrion-lacking protozoan, Glugea plecoglossi, that belongs to microsporidians were determined [7].

Anatomical context of Glugea

A symmetric triazinone, toltrazuril, was tested in vivo against Glugea anomala parasitizing the connective tissue of sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) [8].

Associations of Glugea with chemical compounds

Polar tube proteins were separated from the majority of other proteins in glass bead disrupted spores of Glugea americanus using sequential 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 9M urea extractions [9].

Gene context of Glugea

Enzyme histochemical identification of the Golgi apparatus in the microsporidian, Glugea stephani [10].
