| morphological and phylogenetic description of a new xenoma-inducing microsporidian, microsporidium aurata nov. sp., parasite of the gilthead seabream sparus aurata from the red sea. | a new species of microsporidia found in the marine teleost sparus aurata collected from hurghada coasts along the red sea, egypt was described based on light and ultrastructural studies. twenty three (30.6%) out of 75 of the examined fish were parasitized with a microsporidian parasite. numerous macroscopic whitish cysts embedded in the peritoneal cavity were observed to infect many organs of the body including muscles, connective tissues, and the intestinal epithelium. the infection was develop ... | 2013 | 23990046 |
| myosporidium merluccius n. g., n. sp. infecting muscle of commercial hake (merluccius sp.) from fisheries near namibia. | a new species of microsporidia classified to a new genus was observed in the trunk muscle of commercial hake (merluccius capensis/paradoxus complex) from namibian fisheries. macroscopic examination revealed thin and dark filaments inserted among muscle fibers. inside the filaments were many sporophorous vesicles with about 30-50 spores per vesicle. the shape of the spore was pyriform and the extruded polar filament was of moderate length (up to 4.29 microm, n=12). this new species of microsporid ... | 2005 | 16313438 |
