thelohanellus wangi n. sp. (myxozoa, myxosporea), a new gill parasite of allogynogenetic gibel carp (carassius auratus gibelio bloch) in china, causing severe gill myxosporidiosis.	we describe here a new myxozoan, thelohanellus wangi n. sp., infecting the allogynogenetic gibel carp, carassius auratus gibelio (bloch), in a fry nursery farm in jiangsu province, china. polysporous gray white round or ovoid plasmodia, 500-1,500 μm in size, were found exclusively in the gill filaments. the diagnostic characteristics of the myxospores are as follows: spore melon seed shaped in frontal view with smooth surface and asymmetrical valves; convex-shaped in sutural view with straight o ...	2015	25287713
morphological and molecular characterization of actinosporeans infecting oligochaete branchiura sowerbyi from chinese carp ponds.	we surveyed the actinosporean stages of fish myxosporeans at fish farms in jiangsu province, china, from 2011 to 2014. during the surveys, we identified 7 actinosporean types from 4 collective groups: echinactinomyxon (1 type), triactinomyxon (1 type), aurantiactinomyxon (1 type), and neoactinomyxum (4 types), released by the oligochaete branchiura sowerbyi. the morphological characteristics and dna sequences of these types are described here. based on 18s rdna sequence analysis, the actinospore ...	2015	26036829
hematological and histological changes in prussian carp carassius gibelio infected with cyprinid herpesvirus 2.	outbreaks of cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (cyhv-2) disease, also known as herpesviral hematopoietic necrosis, among cultured prussian carp carassius gibelio has occurred each year in jiangsu province, china, since 2009. in autumn 2014, hematological, blood biochemical, and histological changes in naturally infected moribund prussian carp were investigated after cyhv-2 was confirmed as the sole etiologic agent by etiological analyses. total erythrocyte count, total leukocyte count, hemoglobin concentra ...	2016	27484729
