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.

Occurrence of Myxobolus spp. (Myxozoa) in the blood of Metynnis lippincottianus (Osteichthyes: Serrasalmidae) from eastern Amazon, Brazil [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia VeterináriaMyxozoans are obligatory parasites and can be found in various organs and bloodstreams of fish, thus, the objective of this work was to describe the occurrence of Myxobolus spp.

Morphological, Molecular and Phylogenetic Characterization of Ceratomyxa nemiptera sp. nov. (Myxozoa: Ceratomyxidae) Infecting Nemipterus virgatus Houttuyn, 1782 in the East China Sea [PDF]
AnimalsA newly discovered myxosporean parasite was described from the gallbladder of Nemipterus virgatus Houttuyn, 1782 collected from the East China Sea. Mature myxospores are crescent-shaped with shell valves that taper gradually toward rounded ends.

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 312-325, March 2023., 2023 We have developed a new method for determining the myxozoan biodiversity from freshwater eDNA samples. Our new approach is highly sensitive and allows researchers not only to study the biodiversity of myxozoan parasites, but also to monitor myxozoan pathogens that threaten economically important fish in aquaculture. Abstract The environmental DNA (eDNA)
