Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular protozoa with more than 1,200 species belonging to 143 genera that infect a wide range of vertebrate and invertebrate hosts.  They are characterized by the production of resistant spores that vary in size, depending on the species. After ingestion, it infects intestinal epithelial cells and causes chronic diarrhea with the possibility of distant spread. The microorganism can be visualized in stool samples using "Quick-Hot Gram Chromotrope technique".
