    Background Ascetosporea (Endomyxa, Rhizaria) is a group of unicellular parasites infecting aquatic invertebrates. They are increasingly being recognized as widespread and important in marine environments, ...
  • Contrasting outcomes of genome reduction in mikrocytids and microsporidians 
    Žárský, Vojtečh; Karnkowska, Anna; Boscaro, Vittorio; Trznadel, Morelia; Whelan, Thomas A.; Hiltunen-Thorén, Markus; Onut-Brännström, Ioana; Abbott, Cathryn L.; Fast, Naomi M.; Burki, Fabien; Keeling, Patrick J. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)
