				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Once introduced for biological pest control, Asian lady beetle populations have been increasing uncontrollably. Scientists have now found the reason for the animal's success. Its body fluid contains microsporidia, fungus-like protozoa that parasitize body cells and can cause immense harm to their host. The Asian lady beetle is obviously resistant to these parasites. However, transferred to native species, microsporidia can be lethal.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/invasive_species/~4/AkWcezJwO94" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>
