Molecular Characterization of the Myoliquefactive Fish Parasite Kudoa mirabilis (Cnidaria, Kudoidae) from SW Indian Ocean and Its Phylogenetic Relationship with the Kudoa thyrsites Species Complex [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 Myxosporean parasites of the genus Kudoa are fish parasites of great economic importance, as some species can affect the fish fillet quality by producing macroscopic cysts or generating post mortem myoliquefaction, commonly referred to as ‘soft flesh ...

Distribution of Kudoa thyrsites (Cnidaria, Myxozoa) myoliquefactive stages in Northeast Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) inferred from qPCR and histology [PDF]
Parasitology Research, 2022 Abstract Kudoa thyrsites is a myxosporean parasite (Cnidaria, Myxozoa) that infects the skeletal and cardiac muscle of Northeast Atlantic (NEA) mackerel (Scomber scombrus). Heavy infections are associated with post-mortem myoliquefaction of the host skeletal muscle which reduces the quality of the fish product.

Morphological Characterization and Molecular Phylogenetic Analysis of Kudoa iwatai from Large Yellow Croaker (Larimichthys crocea) as a New Host in China [PDF]
Animals, 2022 Kudoa (Myxosporea: Multivalvulida) parasites are critical pathogens in marine and freshwater fish associated with significant economic losses and reduced market prices caused by post-mortem myoliquefaction or numerous cysts on muscles.

A review of Kudoa-induced myoliquefaction of marine fish species in South Africa and other countries
South African Journal of Science, 2013 Myoliquefaction of fish musculature results in customer quality complaints and in huge economic losses, especially with regard to Pacific hake (Merluccius productus), farm-reared Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), South African pilchards (Sardinops ocellatus)

Myxobolus sp. can cause in vivo myoliquefaction in the host Paralichthys orbignyanus (Osteichthyes, Paralichthydae) [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2007 We found intense myoliquefaction in vivo among specimens of wild and farmed South American flatfish Paralichthys orbignyanus Valenciennes, 1839. The soft flesh condition was attributed to Myxobolus sp. since the fish were not infected by myxosporeans which are usually associated with this condition (Kudoa spp.), and other causes (bacteria, fungi) were ...

Bulletin of the European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2023 Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) is a very important and valuable pelagic fish in Scotland. This species is known to be one of the hosts for Kudoa thyrsites, the myxosporean agent of post-mortem myoliquefaction, known as ‘soft tissue’. To date, there have been no official reports of the parasite in Scottish waters, however, the soft tissue ...
