| bipteria formosa (kovaleva et gaevskaya, 1979) comb. n. (myxozoa: myxosporea) in whiting merlangius merlangus (teleostei: gadidae) from denmark. | a total of 22 specimens of whiting merlangius merlangus (l.) (teleostei, gadidae) from the northern øresund, denmark were examined for myxosporea. zschokkella hildae auerbach, 1910 (myxidiidae), gadimyxa sp. (parvicapsulidae) and a species of bipteria occurred in the renal tubules of 9%, 18% and 68% whiting, respectively. immature spores of the bipteria species are very similar to spores of myxoproteus formosus kovaleva et gaevskaya, 1979 originally described from the urinary system of whiting f ... | 2009 | 19606784 |
| zschokkella hildae auerbach, 1910: phylogenetic position, morphology, and location in cultured atlantic cod. | the myxozoan zschokkella hildae auerbach, 1910, was detected with a prevalence of 100% in cultured atlantic cod, gadus morhua l. aged 1+ from a culture facility on the west coast of scotland. sporogonic stages of z. hildae, plasmodia producing 2-5 mature spores, were located predominantly in the collecting ducts and ureters of the kidney, and spores were present in the urine collected from the bladder. less frequently, plasmodia were detected in the interstitial tissue of the kidney. the parasit ... | 2010 | 20026425 |
| infection dynamics of two renal myxozoans in hatchery reared fry and juvenile atlantic cod gadus morhua l. | in order to study the infection dynamics of 2 renal myxozoans, zschokkella hildae auerbach, 1910 and gadimyxa atlantica køie, karlsbakk and nylund, 2007 in cultured atlantic cod, gadus morhua l. aged 3-19 months, a specific single-round pcr assay and a double-label in situ hybridization protocol were developed. the results demonstrated that the 2 myxozoans show spatial separation of their development with regard to spore formation inside the renal tubules versus the collecting ducts and ureters, ... | 2010 | 20500915 |
