Despite the serious threat that microsporidia pose to humans and agricultural animals, few drugs are available for the treatment and control of microsporidia. To identify novel inhibitors, we took advantage of the model organism\n                    <jats:italic>Caenorhabditis elegans<\/jats:italic>\n                    infected with its natural microsporidian\n                    <jats:italic>Nematocida parisii<\/jats:italic>\n                    . We used this system to screen the Pandemic Response Box, a collection of 400 diverse compounds with known antimicrobial activity. After testing these compounds in a 96-well format at high (100 \u03bcM) and low (40 \u03bcM) concentrations, we identified four inhibitors that restored the ability of\n                    <jats:italic>C<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                    <jats:italic>elegans<\/jats:italic>\n                    to produce progeny in the presence of\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                    <jats:italic>parisii<\/jats:italic>\n                    .

One of these compounds, a known inhibitor of a viral protease, MMV1006203, inhibited invasion and prevented the firing of spores. A bis-indole derivative, MMV1593539, decreased spore viability. An albendazole analog, MMV1782387, inhibited proliferation of\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                    <jats:italic>parisii<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
