The ornamental fish trade provides a pathway for the global translocation of aquatic parasites. Myxozoa is comprised highly specialized metazoan parasites hosts with wide host range. Interest in group has intensified along development aquaculture due to emergent pathogenic myxozoan species both freshwater and marine environments. However, little known on diversity trade. We examined 630 imported from Asia Australia (representing 24 populations, including wild caught species) during 2015. Fish were sampled under Australian quarantine following veterinary certification that they showed no clinical signs pests diseases exporting country visual inspection at border control. Myxozoan infected 8 12 populations populations. A total morphologically distinct Myxobolus spores detected amongst all goldfish, Carassius auratus Myxidium kissing gourami, Helostoma temminckii , Ceratomyxa sp. cardinal fishes, Cheilodipterus quinquelineatus Pterapogon kauderni Zoramia leptocantha . Kudoa C. Sphaeramia nematoptera Z. Results this study show pre-export health requirements inspections do not reliably detect infections. Inspection prior exportation control should account cryptic nature consider alternative detection methods complement
