Microsporidia are fungi-related intracellular pathogens that infect a great variety of animals, including the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The first microsporidia isolated from wild C. elegans was named Nematocida parisii in 2008. C. elegans and N. parisii have been used as a powerful model for the study of host-pathogen interactions. However, it was unclear how widespread and diverse microsporidia infections are in C. elegans or other related nematodes in the wild.By sampling rhabditid nematodes worldwide, we established a collection of 47 nematodes that displayed putative microsporidia infections. We characterized molecularly these infections and determined that N. parisii (or N. ironsii) is the most common microsporidia infecting C. ...
