      Cryptosporidium spp. and Enterocytozoon bieneusi are enteric pathogens that have emerged as significant causes of persistent diarrhea (PD) in immunologically compromised individuals particularly in association with HIV/AIDS. ...
    • Genomic survey of the non-cultivatable opportunistic human pathogen, enterocytozoon bieneusi 

      Akiyoshi, Donna E.; Morrison, Hilary G.; Lei, Shi; Feng, Xiaochuan; Zhang, Quanshun; Corradi, Nicolas; Mayanja, Harriet; Tumwine, James K.; Keeling, Patrick J.; Weiss, Louis M.; Tzipori, Saul (Public Library of Science, 2009-01-09)

    • Microsporidiosis and malnutrition in children with persistent diarrhea, Uganda 

      Tumwine, James K; Ndeezi, Grace; Naumova, Elena N.; Mor, Siobhan M; Tzipori, Saul (National Center for Infectious Diseases, 2009-01)
      We show that the microsporidian fungus Enterocytozoon bieneusi is associated with lower rates of weight gain in children in Uganda with persistent diarrhea. This relationship remained after controlling for HIV and concurrent ...
    • Monoclonal antibodies against enterocytozoon bieneusi of human origin 

      Sheoran, Abhineet S.; Feng, Xiaochuan; Singh, Inderpal; Chapman-Bonofiglio, Susan; Kitaka, Sabrina; Hanawalt, Joel; Nunnari, John; Mansfield, Keith; Tumwine, James K.; Tzipori, Saul (American Society for Microbiology, 2005)
      Enterocytozoon bieneusi is clinically the most significant among the microsporidia infecting humans, causing chronic diarrhea, wasting, and cholangitis in individuals with human immunodeficiency virus/AIDS. The lack of ...
    • Tanrıverdi, S., et al. (2008). Inferences about the global population structures of Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis
