Abstract
A review of investigations utilizing electrophoretic and immunological methods for identification and classification of microsporidians, the group to which the first protozoan microbial pesticide belongs, indicate that these methods can be successfully used to classify strains and closely related species. Certain immunological methods are also useful for genera and families. The limitations and phylogenetic range of usefulness of other methods are discussed and suggestions made about future studies with Microsporida.
