Sinuolinea species are myxozoans of the order Bivalvulida, suborder Variisporina, and family Sinuolineidae, which can be parasites for freshwater and marine fish. The aim of this study was to describe the occurrence of ...

A mass of free myxozoan spores was found in the gill filaments of specimens of Cetopsorhamdia iheringi Schubart and Gomes, 1959, popularly known as “three-barbeled catfishes” (Heptapteridae, Siluriformes) collected in ...

Myxozoans can induce losses in production of marine and freshwater fish. Recently, a new parasitic myxozoan species, Sinuolinea niloticus, was identified and its importance highlighted. This study aimed to investigate ...

Motility factors are fundamental for parasite invasion, migration, proliferation and immune evasion and thus can influence parasitic disease pathogenesis and virulence. Salmonid enteronecrosis is caused by a myxozoan (Phylum ...

Myxozoans are highly diverse and globally distributed cnidarian endoparasites in freshwater and marine habitats. They have adopted a heteroxenous life cycle, including invertebrate and fish hosts, and have been associated ...

Myxozoans have been successfully used as tags for fish stock identification around the world. However, few studies using myxozoan tags have been carried out in the Southern Atlantic, a region with complex oceanography that ...

On the basis of morphological and molecular analyses, a new myxozoan parasite is described from the gills of the fish Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus, collected in the municipality of Nova Xavantina, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. ...

It is assumed that complex life cycles in cnidarian parasites belonging to the Myxozoa result from incorporation of vertebrates into simple life cycles exploiting aquatic invertebrates. However, nothing is known about the ...

Myxozoans are widely distributed aquatic obligate endoparasites that were recently recognized as belonging within the phylum Cnidaria. They have complex life cycles with waterborne transmission stages: resistant, infectious ...
