Microsporidia are emerging opportunistic parasites. Preservation of the biological properties of microsporidian spores is often required in research work. The present study compared two preservatives; zinc polyvinyl alcohol (zinc PVA) and potassium dichromate solutions for preservation of microsporidian spores separated from human faecal samples.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Mona Mohammed Tolba"

  • - Mona Mohammed Tolba's recent research focuses on the preservation of microsporidian spores, which are significant due to their status as emerging opportunistic parasites in humans.
  • - In her 2012 study published in "Parasitol Res", she compared the efficacy of two preservatives: zinc polyvinyl alcohol (zinc PVA) and potassium dichromate, to determine which better maintains the biological properties of microsporidian spores.
  • - The findings indicate important implications for research involving these parasites, suggesting that the choice of preservation method can impact the integrity of the spores used in studies.
