Fish Immune Responses to Myxozoa
This book provides an up-to-date review of the biology of myxozoans, which represent a divergent clade of endoparasitic cnidarians. Myxozoans are of fundamental interest in understanding how early diverging metazoans have adopted parasitic lifestyles, and are also of considerable economic and ecological concern as endoparasites of fish.

Sparicotylosis has been present in Mediterranean aquaculture of the gilthead seabream for the past 25 years, yet disease management and treatments are not effective. This is further jeopardised by global warming and resistance of Sparicotyle chrysophrii to available anthelminthic compounds.

Transmission Biology of the Myxozoa
Myxozoans are spore-forming parasites of both freshwater and marine fishes (Lom & Dykova, 1992, Kent et al., 2001; Feist & Longshaw, 2006). The Myxozoa were previously classified as protozoans, although the multicellular state and functional specialization of the cells composing spores were considered to exceed protozoan level (Lom & Dykova, 1992 ...

Ultrastructural localisation of carbohydrates in four myxosporean parasites
The existence and localisation of carbohydrates in four myxosporean parasites was investigated at transmission electron microscope, using lectin histochemistry techniques. The Myxosporea studied showed different lectin binding patterns.

Diversity and evolution of myxozoan minicollagens and nematogalectins [PDF]
Background: Myxozoa are a diverse group of metazoan parasites with a very simple organization, which has for decades eluded their evolutionary origin. Their most prominent and characteristic feature is the polar capsule: a complex intracellular structure

Proliferative kidney disease (PKD), a condition associated with high mortality in salmonid fish, represents an abnormal immune response to the presence of an enigmatic myxozoan, which has been designated simply as PKX organism because its generic and specific status are obscure. Phylogenetic analyses of partial sequences of the 18S rDNA of PKX and of

Incidental finding of Myxobolus spores (Protozoa : Myxozoa) in stool samples from patients with gastrointestinal symptoms [PDF]
Myxozoan spores were detected in fecal samples from three patients presenting with abdominal pain and/or diarrhea, The spores were identical to those of Myxobolus plectroplites, a previously described pathogen from the freshwater fish Plectroplites ...
