Discovery of a Natural Microsporidian Pathogen with a Broad Tissue Tropism in Caenorhabditis elegans

Robert J Luallen, Aaron W Reinke, Linda Tong…·Emily R Troemel

The paper discovers a new microsporidian parasite of C. elegans with broad tissue tropism, showing distinct replication patterns compared to related species.

Cell-to-cell spread of microsporidia causes C. elegans organs to form syncytia

Keir M Balla, Robert J Luallen, Malina A Bakowski, Emily R Troemel

This study shows microsporidia in C. elegans restructure host tissues into multinucleate cells, with some species causing syncytia in intestine or muscle, and infection density affecting their life cycle transition.
