in india, more than 104 species of myxobolus have so far been reported infecting freshwater as well as marine fishes. the study focuses on the description of a new myxosporean species, myxobolus sp.n pkb 2014 from the gill lamellae of an indian major carp labeo rohita. the species have been described on the basis of morphological characterization of the spores, tissue architecture and 18s rdna ...

The aim of the present study was shedding light on disease factors underlying mortality event among common carps inhabiting Hirfanlı Dam Lake in Türkiye spring year 2021. For this purpose various parasitological, bacteriological and virological research techniques were employed. Five parasite genera, Dactylogyrus spp., Myxobolus Eimeria Trichodina Diplostomum spp. isolated from 13 carps. opport...

The present study consists of a detailed phylogenetic analysis of myxosporeans of the Myxobolus and Henneguya genera, including sequences from 12 Myxobolus/Henneguya species, parasites of South American pimelodids, bryconids and characids. Maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony analyses, based on 18 S rDNA gene sequences, showed that the strongest evolutionary signal is the phylogenetic affin...

the fishes of capoeta genus are living in different fauna regions of iranian freshwater fishes. the parasitological studies of these fishes are important on subjects of ecology and life cycles in different fishes. the aim of this study was to study the parasites of capoeta spp. in halil-rud river, kerman province. samples were collected from the freshwater fishes (between oct. 2007 to sep. 2008...

Genetic studies are recognized increasingly as important for understanding naturally occurring disease dynamics and are used to predict host genetic diversity and coevolutionary processes and to identify species composition in ecological communities. Tubifex tubifex, the definitive host of the whirling disease parasite Myxobolus cerebralis, comprises 6 known lineages that vary widely in parasit...

A new highly pathogenic muscle-infecting species of the genus Myxobolus Bütschli, 1882 is described from the Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782) using spore morphology and SSU rDNA sequence data. Phylogenetic analyses elucidated relationship of the newly described Myxobolus lentisuturalis to other Myxobolus species and supported its position of an independent species.

There is uncertainty regarding the validity of Myxobolus heterosporus Baker, 1963. The present study revises the taxonomy, using specimens isolated from plasmodia situated in the infected cornea of Oreochromis aureus, O. niloticus or Tilapia zillii inhabiting the River Nile, Egypt. In addition, histological effects of the parasite on the infected tissue were examined. The spores of M. heterospo...

Investigations on the incidence of myxozoan parasites (Myxozoa: Bivalvulida) in fishes have assumed immense importance in view of severe pathogenicity and mortality caused by these organisms on their hosts. The present communication records three new species of myxosporeans, Myxobolus calcariferum sp. n.; Myxobolus chinsurahensis sp. n. and Myxobolus mrigalhitae sp. n. from different food fishe...

In this paper, the metazoan parasite community system of Capoeta damascina in the Tigris basin (Mesopotamian region) in the Middle-East is presented. Overall, 54 species have been identified. Between 2005 and 2008, Iranian surveys of Capoeta damascina found a total of 47 metazoan parasites species, most identified to species level. In addition, 6 parasite species from Iraq and 1 species from oc...
