    Abstract: Researchers employed a sample method directly using purified spores suspension instead of genomic DNA as PCR templete for amplifying complete <I>rRNA</I> genes of <I>Endoreticulatus</I> sp. Shengzhou, a novel microsporidian isolate from silkworm <I>Bombyx mori</I> collected in Shengzhou of China and studied its phyletic evolution of the isolate. The complete <I>rRNA</I> gene sequences of the isolate was 4,431 bp long and the arrangement of the <I>rRNA</I> genes was reversed as 5'-LSU-ITS-SSU-IGS-5S-3'. Morphological character and phylogenetic analysis based on the SSU <I>rRNA</I> gene sequence and ITS sequence indicated that <I>Endoreticulatus</I> sp. Shengzhou is closely related to <I>Endoreticulatus</I> genus.
