Description of two new actinosporean types from a brook of Fuji Mountain, Honshu, and from Chitose River, Hokkaido, Japan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Actinospore infection of oligochaetes living in the mud of 3 freshwater biotopes in Japan was studied. Using the cell-well plate method, a new aurantiactinomyxon type was found in 0.77 % of the examined Tubifex tubifex oligochaete specimens from a brook ...

Fish morphological and parasitological traits as ecological indicators of habitat quality in a Mediterranean coastal lagoon

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 33, Issue 11, Page 1229-1244, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Coastal lagoons are key ‘transitional’ aquatic environments for biodiversity conservation. Ecological indicators are useful tools for the management of water resources in the European Union. Among different biological communities, fish are a very sensitive tool to assess environmental integrity.

Capturing drifting species and molecules—Lessons learned from integrated approaches to assess marine metazoan diversity in highly dynamic waters

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1541-1556, November 2023., 2023
By using an integrated morphological and genetic approach, we validated eDNA and zooplankton metabarcoding as a holistic approach to reliably identify marine metazoan fauna in highly dynamic waters of the North Sea. COI metabarcoding outperformed 18S V4 metabarcoding in terms of the number of detected species.

Potential of MALDI‐TOF MS‐based proteomic fingerprinting for species identification of Cnidaria across classes, species, regions and developmental stages

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 1620-1631, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Morphological identification of cnidarian species can be difficult throughout all life stages due to the lack of distinct morphological characters. Moreover, in some cnidarian taxa genetic markers are not fully informative, and in these cases combinations of different markers or additional morphological verifications may be required. Proteomic

Mitochondrial genome comparison reveals the evolution of cnidarians

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
First of all, we used mt‐genomes as many as possible published before to analyze the evolutionary relationship. Secondly, more recent studies based on mitochondrial whole‐genome sequences have suggested that Anthozoa are polyphyletic, with the subclasses Octocorallia being a sister group with Medusozoa.

Myxosporea (Myxozoa, Cnidaria) Lack DNA Cytosine Methylation [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2020
Abstract DNA cytosine methylation is central to many biological processes, including regulation of gene expression, cellular differentiation, and development. This DNA modification is conserved across animals, having been found in representatives of sponges, ctenophores, cnidarians, and bilaterians, and with very few known instances of ...

Repatriation of an old fish host as an opportunity for myxozoan parasite diversity: The example of the allis shad, Alosa alosa (Clupeidae), in the Rhine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Wildlife repatriation represents an opportunity for parasites. Reintroduced hosts are expected to accumulate generalist parasites via spillover from reservoir hosts, whereas colonization with specialist parasites is unlikely.

Antigenic characterization of Enteromyxum leei (Myxozoa: Myxosporea) [PDF]

open access: yesDiseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2013
Enteromyxum leei, an intestinal myxozoan parasite affecting a wide range of fish, was partially purified, and the immunogenic composition of its glycoproteins as well as the proteolytic activity were studied. Parasite extracts, mainly containing spores, were separated by SDS-PAGE, and thereafter, immunoblots were carried out with a polyclonal antiserum
