| myxobolus harikensis sp. nov. (myxozoa: myxobolidae) infecting fins of cirrhina mrigala (ham.)-an indian major carp in harike wetland, punjab (india). | during a study of myxosporean parasites of freshwater fishes of punjab wetlands, india, one new myxosporean species, myxobolus harikensis sp. nov. was recorded from the caudal fin of cirrhina mrigala (ham.) (cypriniformes: cyprinidae). plasmodia are small, white, spherical-to-rounded and are present on the caudal fin (in between the fin rays) having two to five spores per plasmodium. spores of m. harikensis measure 10.1 × 8.5 μm in size, pyriform in valvular view and lenticular in sutural view p ... | 2011 | 21584631 |
| morphological and molecular characterization of henneguya bicaudi n. sp. (myxosporea: myxobolidae) infecting gills of cirrhinus mrigala (ham.) in harike wetland, punjab (india). | in the present study, henneguya bicaudi n. sp. infecting gills of cirrhinus mrigala (ham.) an indian major carp from harike wetland in punjab, india, has been described on the basis of myxospore morphology and partial amplification of the ssu rrna gene. the pseudocysts of h. bicaudi n. sp. were located within the gill filament, whitish with round to irregular outer margin and 0.5-0.7 mm in diameter, 3-4 pseudocysts each containing about 50-100 myxospores were detected per gill. mature myxospores ... | 2015 | 26239799 |
| morphological, histopathological and molecular characterization of <i>thelohanellus pathankotensis</i> n. sp. (cnidaria: myxosporea: myxozoa) infecting an indian minor carp, <i>labeo</i> <i>dero</i> hamilton, 1822 from a cold water wetland in punjab (india). | a new myxobolid, thelohanellus pathankotensis parasitizing gill lamellae and caudal fins of the indian minor carp labeo dero has been described using light microscopy, histopathology and molecular analyses. the fish host was collected from a cold water wetland, ranjit sagar wetland, punjab, india located 32 ̊ 26 ̍ 30 ̎ n latitude and 75 ̊ 43 ̍ 30 ̎ e longitude. the prevalence of infection was 30%. the plasmodia were located in the gill lamellae and the caudal fins were cylindrical and whitish, 0 ... | 2017 | 29245530 |
| a new pathogen, myxobolus holzerae (myxosporea: myxozoa) causing severe gill disease in an indian major carp labeo rohita in a cold water wetland, punjab (india). | the indian major carp, labeo rohita hamilton, 1822 is a tropical freshwater cyprinid fish native to inland waters in asia. herein, we describe a novel myxozoan forming plasmodia in the gill lamellae of l. rohita from ranjit sagar wetland in punjab, india. myxospores were consistent with the genus myxobolus, round to elliptical in valvular view, lemon shaped in side view with a characteristic protrusion at the anterior end and a round posterior end; length 7.65 ± 0.07 μm, width 4.62 ± 0.09 μm. th ... | 2017 | 28870697 |
| prevalence, site and tissue preference of myxozoan parasites infecting gills of cultured fish in punjab (india). | native carp species cultured in indian farms in punjab (catla catla catla, rohu labeo rohita, mrigal cirrhinus mrigala, exotic carps such as silver carp hypophthalmichthys molitrix, grass carp ctenopharyngodon idella, common carp cyprinus carpio and a catfish sperata seenghala) were examined for the presence of myxozoan parasites infecting gills. firstly, the gills were examined under a zoom-stereomicroscope for the presence of plasmodia. the number of plasmodia per gill was counted to determine ... | 2016 | 26912043 |
