Abstract

The genus Vairimorpha was proposed for several species of Nosema in 1976 (Pilley, 1976), almost 70 years after Nosema apis Zander (Zander, 1909). Tokarev and colleagues proposed the redefinition of 17 microsporidian species in four genera, Nosema, Vairimorpha, Rugispora, and Oligosporidium, based on phylogenetic trees of two genetic markers (SSU rRNA and RPB1) (Tokarev et al., 2020). Several issues should invalidate this new classification, leading to the synonymization of Vairimorpha within Nosema.

最近对 Nosema 属和 Vairimorpha 属（微孢子虫：Nosematidae）的修订存在缺陷，误导了蜜蜂科学界。

1976 年（Pilley，1976 年），在 Nosema apis Zander（Zander，1909 年）之后将近 70 年，有人提出 Vairimorpha 属是 Nosema 的若干种。Tokarev 及其同事根据两个遗传标记（SSU rRNA 和 RPB1）的无根系统发生树，提出将 17 种微孢子虫重新定义为 4 个属，即 Nosema 属、Vairimorpha 属、Rugispora 属和 Oligosporidium 属（Tokarev 等人，2020 年）。有几个问题应使这一新分类失效。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Invertebrate Pathology presents original research articles and notes on the induction and pathogenesis of diseases of invertebrates, including the suppression of diseases in beneficial species, and the use of diseases in controlling undesirable species. In addition, the journal publishes the results of physiological, morphological, genetic, immunological and ecological studies as related to the etiologic agents of diseases of invertebrates. The Journal of Invertebrate Pathology is the adopted journal of the Society for Invertebrate Pathology, and is available to SIP members at a special reduced price.
