redescription of chloromyxum ellipticum li & nie, 1973 (myxosporea: chloromyxidae) infecting the gall bladder of grass carp ctenopharyngodon idellus valenciennes, 1844, supplemented by morphological and molecular characteristics. | the traditional taxonomy of the genus chloromyxum mingazzini, 1890 has been intensively challenged to be paraphyletic by recent ribosomal dna (rdna)-based phylogenetic analysis. undersampling to get rich sequence data to infer more scientific phylogenetic relationships makes scientists conservatively assign all non-marine elasmobranch-infecting species as chloromyxum sensu lato. although complex ridge pattern on the spore surface observed by scanning electron microscopy was thought to be critica ... | 2017 | 28324166 |
