| new data on soricimyxum fegati (myxozoa) including analysis of its phylogenetic position inferred from the ssu rrna gene sequence. | a myxosporean species found to develop in the liver of 10 out of 24 common shrews, sorex araneus l., caught in south bohemia, czech republic, was identified as soricimyxum fegati prunescu, prunescu, pucek et lom, 2007, the unique representative of the genus and the first myxosporean species known to develop from plasmodia to spores in a terrestrial mammal. the original description of this species, based on fixed material, is supplemented with new data based on fresh material and with partial seq ... | 2007 | 18303768 |
| the first finding of myxosporean development from plasmodia to spores in terrestrial mammals: soricimyxum fegati gen. et sp. n. (myxozoa) from sorex araneus (soricomorpha). | soricimyxum fegati gen. et sp. n. is a new myxosporean (myxozoa) species discovered in the liver of shrews, sorex araneus l., collected in the bialowieza primeval forest (poland). both developmental stages and mature spores were found during a histological study. the infection had about 40% prevalence at the investigated locality. plasmodia were polysporic. elongated plasmodia with an average size of 30 by 8 microm occupied bile ducts and larger rounded plasmodia up to 80 microm in diameter were ... | 2007 | 19245186 |
| xenoma-like formations induced by soricimyxum fegati (myxosporea) in three species of shrews (soricomorpha: soricidae), including records of new hosts. | in south bohemia, czech republic, 178 shrews, including 98 common shrews, sorex araneus l., 70 pygmy shrews, sorex minutus l., and 10 lesser white-toothed shrews, crocidura suaveolens (pallas), were examined for soricimyxum fegati prunescu, prunescu, pucek et lom, 2007 infections, using squash preparations of unfixed tissues, histological sections and molecular methods. the infection was found in 51 (52%) s. araneus, 14 (20%) s. minutus and 1 (10%) c. suaveolens. the records of the latter two sp ... | 2011 | 22263306 |
