Synopsis of Infectious Diseases and Parasites of Commercially Exploited Shellfish Microsporidiosis of Scallops Category Common Name Scientific Name Distribution ... Citation Category Category 3 (Host Not in Canada) Common, generally accepted names of the organism or disease agent Microsporidiosis of queen scallops. Scientific name or taxonomic affiliation Unidentified microsporidian. The overall dimensions of mature spores with evidence of a diplokaryon and polar tubules consisting of eight coils in a single row, and the presence of this microsporidian in an invertebrate host suggested affiliation with the genus Pseudopleistophora (Lohrmann et al. 2000). Geographic distribution Several coastal sites around the United Kingdom. Host species Aequipecten opercularis Impact on the host Pathogenicity on wild population of A. opercularis remains unknown despite high prevalences of infection (up to 20%) in some locations. No host reaction to this microsporidian was observed and infected scallops showed no evidence of being in poor condition. Only spore stages (immature and mature) were found. The effect of this parasite on cultured scallops is unknown. Diagnostic techniques Histology: Observed only in the connective tissue of the digestive gland. Aggregates of immature spores (2.3 by 1.3 µm) within extremely hypertrophied host cell (up to about 300 µm in diameter) and surrounded by a thin layer of fibroblast-like cells. Mature spores (2.3 by 1.2 µm) clustered in lumen of blood vessels.

Diagnostic techniques Histology: Cysts, as described above, contain numerous oval and refractive spores (5.2 µm × 2.57 µm in frozen sections and 4.7 µm × 2.39 µm in plastic embedded sections). The spore has a polar cap at the apex with an attached polar filament of 19-22 coils and a single nucleus. Sporogenesis and number of spores per pansporoblast are not known. Methods of control No known methods of prevention or control.

44. Malaria Drug Fumagillin Is Effective Against AIDS-Related Microsporidiosis is an effective treatment for intestinal microsporidiosis caused by Enterocytozoon for immunocompromised patients with intestinal microsporidiosis. http://www.hivandhepatitis.com/recent/ois/062102e.html

Malaria Drug Fumagillin Is Effective Against AIDS-Related Microsporidiosis Fumagillin, a drug once used to treat malaria, is an effective treatment for intestinal microsporidiosis caused by Enterocytozoon bieneusi, according to a report published in the June 20th issue of The New England Journal of Medicine The intestinal disorder is known to cause malabsorption, chronic diarrhea, and weight loss in immunocompromised patients. While the diagnosis is easily made with stool analysis, no treatments that effectively eradicate E. bieneusi had been identified. Ten patients had AIDS and two had undergone organ transplantation. The patients were randomized to receive fumagillin 60 mg or placebo daily for 2 weeks. After the randomized phase, fumagillin was offered to patients in the placebo group. All of these patients cleared E. bieneusi from their stool. While three patients in the fumagillin group demonstrated laboratory abnormalities, none required hospital admission. In contrast, one patient in the placebo group required hospitalization for severe diarrhea and weight loss. Several minor adverse events occurred, but it was unclear whether these were due to the fumagillin therapy or to underlying conditions.

Microsporidiosis AETIOLOGY Microsporidia are widespread organisms in nature, but they have been considered for a long time to have a low impact on animal or human health. With the advent of HIV and AIDS however, significant numbers of human cases of microsporidiosis have been reported and the zoonotic impact of this infection has recently been confirmed. Microsporidia are small, unicellular parasites. Their transmission between infected and healthy organisms occurs by means of highly resistant spores that contain the infective material called "sporoplasm". Currently about 1000 species have been described but it is generally accepted that many others are present in nature (Canning, 1993). EPIDEMIOLOGY Some aspects that remain largely obscure with respect to the biology of these parasites are: the epidemiological patterns, the susceptibility of different vertebrate organisms to the parasites and the routes of transmission between susceptible hosts. Recent studies (van Gool et al., 1997) reported that a high proportion of immunocompromised persons harbour antibodies against Encephalitozoon spp. compared with healthy individuals. These findings can account for the wide distribution of microsporidian in the environment. They also suggest that without an impairment of the immune system they do not represent a serious health risk because they are unable to induce infection.

Micosporidiosis Pathogen: Several species of microsporidia Enterocylozoon bieneusi, Encephalitozoon hellem cuniculi, Septata intestinalis, Sites of Infection: E. bieneusi is found in the small intestine (and has been reported as a cause of sinusitis). Encephalitozoon hellem, cuniculi and Septata intestinalis have produced disseminated infections with symptoms mainly in the sinus or eyes. A recent report (Schwartz et al.) describes several patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic pulmonary microsporidiosis resulting from E. hellem, and suggests that disseminated microsporidia infections are increasing in significance. Pol et al. report that microsporidia may be a frequent cause of otherwise unexplained cholangitis in HIV-infected patients. Bile samples were examined from a series of eight patients with unexplained AIDS-related cholangitis; all eight were found to have biliary microsporidiosis. The presence of E. bieneusi was confirmed by electron microscopy. Symptoms: Diarrhea and weight loss are thought to be associated with microsporidia infection. However, a recent case-control study was unable to demonstrate such an association. Rabeneck et al. studied 106 HIV-infected men, 55 with and 51 without chronic diarrhea. E.bieneusi was detected with equal frequency in duodenal biopsies of men from the two groups. E. bieneusi was found in 18/55 (33%) of men with diarrhea and 13/51 (23%) of men without diarrhea (RR 1.42, 95%; CI 0.61 - 3.31). The difference remained non significant after controlling for CD4 count and the presence of other enteric pathogens.
