Abstract:

A survey on myxosporean parasites of freshwater fishes from Mesopotamian part of Iran (south western part of the country, Khuzestan Province) was carried out. Some 280 individuals belonging to 14 different species were examined the prevalence of myxosporean parasites, morphology of the spores, plasmodial development, the infective site, and characteristics of the cyst location using the histological approach. The collected parasites were as follows: Myxobolus presicus, M. karuni, M. bulbocordis, M. nodulointestinalis, M. iraanicus, M. mesopotamiae, M. shadgani, M. sharpeyi, M. molnari and M. mokayeri. Barbus sharpeyi and B. grypus, economically important fishe, were infected by six and four myxosporean parasites respectively. All of the studied cases of infection were observed in the natural waters.

Myxosporean parasites in Australian frogs: Importance, implications and future directions

Myxosporean parasites have been identified in amphibians around the world yet very little is known about their diversity, biology and host impact. Several species of Australian frogs have recently been shown to be affected by myxosporidiosis caused by two new Cystodiscus species. In this manuscript, we review what is known about the myxosporean parasites Cystodiscus australis and Cystodiscus ax...

Can myxosporean parasites compromise fish and amphibian reproduction?

Research into fish and amphibian reproduction has increased exponentially in recent years owing to the expansion of the aquaculture industry, the need to recover fishery populations, the impact of endocrine disruptors on the aquatic environment and the global decline of amphibian populations. This review focuses on a group of parasites, the Myxozoa, that affect fish and amphibian reproduction. ...

Survey on the metazoan parasites in Neogobius fishes from Southeastern part of the Caspian Sea

In this study a parasitological investigation on 238 samples of Neogobius species from the south-east of Caspian Sea was carried out. The samples including Neogobius melanostomus (35), N. fluviatilis pallasi (103), N. kessleri gorlap (70) and N. bathybius (30) were seasonally seined by beach net during one year (summer 2006-spring 2007), fixed in 10 % buffer formalinand transferred to the labor...
