The present communication describes three new species of myxosporeans (Myxozoa: Myxosporea: Bivalvulida), Myxobilatus odontamblyopusi sp. n., Myxobolus catmrigalae sp. n. and M. buccoroofus sp. n. from Odontamblyopus rubicundus (HamiltonBuchanan), Catla-Mrigal hybrid carp [male parent fish Catla catla (Hamilton-Buchanan) × female parent fish Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton-Buchanan)] and Labeo bata...

During a recent investigation of parasites infecting fishes from the Okavango River and Delta, Botswana (southern Africa) fourteen sharptooth catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) (Siluriformes: Clariidae) were examined for the presence of myxozoan infections. Results revealed the presence of two species of the genus Henneguya Thélohan, 1895 and one species of the genus Myxobolus Bütschl...

We are conducting studies on the impacts of parasites on Oregon coastal coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kistuch). An essential first step is documenting the geographic distribution of infections, which may be accomplished by using different methods for parasite detection. Thus, the objectives of the current study were to (1) identify parasite species infecting these stocks of coho salmon and document...

During health surveys of 7- to 9-week-old goldfish (Carassius auratus L.) fingerlings in a fish farm near Budapest, Hungary, myxosporean plasmodia were observed on the fins. Plasmodia were most frequently found at the intersegmental joints of the finrays. Spores of Myxobolus diversus Nie et Li, 1973 known from China, were detectable in the mature plasmodia located within the lumen, and less oft...

This study was performed to determine infection and pathologies of the parasites (Myxobolus cyprini Lamproglena pulchella) on three different fish species (Barbus lacerta, Capoeta trutta umbla) caught in Wildlife. The for this were transported laboratory accordance with ethical rules investigated parasites. According results, two parasite identified. Myxobolus found soft tissue pectoral fins as...

The genus Myxobolus, parasites that infect fishes, which cause myxobolosis, includes spore organisms belonging to the phylum Myxozoa and represents approximately 36% of all species described for the entire phylum. This study describes lymphocytic meningoencephalomyelitis associated with Myxobolus sp. infection in the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system, CNS) of Eigenmannia sp., fr...

Five myxozoan species, Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, Sphaerospora truttae, Chloromyxum schurovi, Chloromyxum truttae and a Myxobolus species were detected in farmed brown trout, Salmo trutta L. from Central Scotland. Using PCR and in situ hybridization, this study investigated the seasonal occurrence and tissue location of these species in young of the year brown trout. C. schurovi, C. truttae...
