Popis: Microsporidia cause the disease pebrine in silkworm and are known to be detrimental to sericulture and beekeeping. The microsporidian species Nosema bombycis was rapidly identified in silkworm (Bombyx mori) using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Four types of microsporidian spores purified from infected silkworm could be distinguished based on the differences in their mass fingerprints. Microsporidia growing in a silkworm larva were also identified based on their mass spectra after rapid separation using filtration and centrifugation for 30 min.
