Occurrence of Microsporidíosis in Domestic Animals and Wildlife

Currently, microsporids are phylogenetically characterized as fungi, suffering significant genetic and functional losses resulting in one of the smallest eukaryotic genomes described to date. They do not have mitochondria, and there are around 100 genera and 1,400 species. The objective of this work was to research what has been published regarding the occurrence of microsporidial infection in domestic and wild animals.
