| characterization of kudoa monodactyli n. sp. (myxosporea: multivalvulida) from the muscle of monodactylus argenteus (teleostei: monodactylidae) from moreton bay, queensland, australia. | kudoa monodactyli n. sp. is described from the somatic musculature of monodactylus argenteus from several localities in southern queensland, australia. this is the first record of a myxozoan parasite from the family monodactylidae. the spores typically have five polar capsules, making this species similar to the four other five-valved kudoa species (k. neurophila, k. muscularis, k. shulmani, k. cutanea) that have been described to date. however, morphometric measurements particularly of spore le ... | 2006 | 16968455 |
| diagnostic polymerase chain reaction assay to detect kudoa neurophila (myxozoa: multivalvulida) in a marine finfish hatchery. | a single-round polymerase chain reaction (pcr) diagnostic assay was developed from a small subunit ribosomal dna (ssu rdna) gene sequence to detect the myxozoan parasite kudoa neurophila, the causative agent of myxozoan disease in the hatchery reared marine finfish, striped trumpeter latris lineata (forster). the assay was developed for use as a disease control management tool in a hatchery system specifically designed to research and produce marine finfish such as striped trumpeter juveniles fo ... | 2005 | 15918477 |
