  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;We examined&lt;i&gt; Manayunkia speciosa&lt;/i&gt; individuals from the Klamath River, Oregon/California and Lake Erie, Michigan, USA for the presence of Microsporidia. We identified microsporidian spores and sequenced their SSU, ITS, and part of the LSU rDNA. Phylogenetic analysis of SSU rDNA indicated spores from both populations belonged to the &lt;i&gt;Nosema&lt;/i&gt;/&lt;i&gt;Vairimorpha&lt;/i&gt; clade. PCR showed an infection prevalence in Lake Erie &lt;i&gt;M. speciosa&lt;/i&gt; of 0.6% (95% CI = 0.5%, 0.7%). This represents the first known example of molecularly characterized &lt;i&gt;Nosema&lt;/i&gt;/&lt;i&gt;Vairimorpha&lt;/i&gt; isolates infecting a non-arthropod host.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
