ultrastructure and molecular phylogenetics of a new isolate of pleistophora pagri sp. nov. (microsporidia, pleistophoridae) from pagrus pagrus in egypt.	the spore morphology and molecular systematic of a new microsporidian which was isolated from the common sea bream pagrus pagrus (f: sparidae linnaeus, 1758) from the red sea, egypt have been studied. fifty-six out of 300 (18.7%) of this fish were infected with microsporidian parasites. the infection was appeared as whitish, ellipsoid, round, or elongated nodules embedded in the epithelial lining of the peritoneum and also in the intestinal epithelium. light microscopic study revealed that nodul ...	2012	22773009
new host and locality records of two nematode parasites dujardinnascaris mujibii (heterocheilidae) and hysterothylacium aduncum (anisakidae) from the common seabream pagrus pagrus: a light and scanning electron microscopic study.	in the present study, the morphology and morphometric characterization of dujardinnascaris mujibii (heterocheilidae) and hysterothylacium aduncum (anisakidae), new nematode parasites infecting the sea bream pagrus pagrus (osteichthyes, sparidae), were described for the first time from the gulf of suez and hurghada city of the red sea, egypt. ninety-eight (70 %) and 62 (44.2 %) out of 140 of the examined fish were naturally infected with these nematodes, respectively. the infection was investigat ...	2013	23315190
light and scanning electron microscopy on serrasentis sagittifer linton, 1889 (acanthocephala): palaeacanthocephala: rhadinorhynchidae) infecting the common sea bream in egypt.	serrasentis sagittifer is one of the most important acanthocephalan parasites parasitizing fish. this species attach to the intestinal wall via their armed proboscis which is anchored by rows of recurved spines. in the present study, twenty two out of 50 fish specimens (44.0%) were found to be naturally infected by adult worms of serrasentis sagittifer linton, 1889 (acanthocephala: rhadinorhynchidae) which were collected from the stomach and intestine of the common sea bream pagrus pagrus (famil ...	2015	26012215
morphological re-description and molecular characterization of kudoa pagrusi (myxosporea: multivalvulida) infecting the heart muscles of the common sea bream fish pagrus pagrus (perciformes: sparidae) from the red sea, egypt.	in the present study, 100 samples of different sizes of the common sea bream fish pagrus pagrus were collected from the egyptian water along the gulf of suez, red sea and examined for the prevalence of myxosporidian parasites in general and kudoa spp. in particular. fish samples were thoroughly externally examined. after dissection, all the internal organs were removed and examined. a total of 60 out of 100 fish specimens were found to be infected with kudoa stages. parasitic infection was restr ...	2016	27146899
