A list of myxozoan genera is presented in the current taxonomical scheme. These genera
are defined; their type species and most important pathogens along with their hosts are …

The identification of protozoan and metazoan parasites is traditionally carried out using a
series of classical keys based upon the morphology of the whole organism. However, in …

The phylogeny of the Myxosporea was studied using the small-subunit ribosomal RNA gene
sequences. Maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference were used to determine …

Myxozoans evolved as an endoparasitic radiation of cnidarians exploiting invertebrate and
vertebrate (primarily fish) hosts in freshwater and marine environments. Currently, there are …

Myxozoan species and genera have been defined traditionally using morphological
characteristics of spores and developmental stages, host preference and tissue specificity …

Kudoa thyrsites (Myxozoa: Multivalvulida) is a cosmopolitan marine parasite of fishes
associated with post‐mortem tissue degradation. Financial losses incurred as a result of …

Myxozoans are highly specialized metazoan parasites of aquatic hosts with a very wide host
range. This diverse group of organisms is characterized by multicellular spores with polar …

Background Phylogenetic relationships among myxosporeans based on ribosomal DNA
data disagree with traditional taxonomic classification: a number of myxosporeans with very …

Most myxozoans infecting fish are host-, tissue-and organ-specific parasites. The host
specificity of most myxosporean species is rather narrow, with the parasites able to develop …

A new myxosporean species, Kudoa septempunctata n. sp.(Myxosporea: Multivalvulida), is
described from the trunk muscles of an aquacultured olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) …
