molecular characterisation of an australian isolate of bonamia exitiosa.	an australian (new south wales) isolate of bonamia was characterised at the molecular level by sequencing the 18s-its-1 region of the small subunit rrna operon obtained from flat oysters ostrea angasi shown to be infected by histological examination. sequence data alignment with homologous genes from 2 other isolates of bonamia (new zealand and france) revealed high levels of nucleotide identity with both isolates. however, the australian bonamia is shown to be more closely related to the new ze ...	2006	16922003
the haplosporidian bonamia exitiosa is present in australia, but the identity of the parasite described as bonamia (formerly mikrocytos) roughleyi is uncertain.	protistan oyster parasites in the genus bonamia have been observed in recent years infecting new hosts on five continents, with most of these parasites genetically similar to austral species bonamia exitiosa and bonamia roughleyi. identification of the newly observed parasites as one or another of these described species has been complicated by the fact that b. exitiosa and b. roughleyi are phylogenetically indistinguishable at the small-subunit ribosomal dna (ssu rdna) level, with samples of b. ...	2014	24211185
