Proteomic Analysis of the Parasitic Cnidarian Ceratonova shasta (Cnidaria: Myxozoa) Reveals Diverse Roles of Actin in Motility and Spore Formation

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
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 spores that are unique to ...

Myxobolus freitasi n. sp. (Myxozoa: Bivalvulida), a parasite of the brain of the electric knifefish in the Brazilian Amazon region

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2021
A total of 30 specimens of the Amazonian electric knifefish, Brachyhypopomus beebei Schultz, 1944 (Gymnotiformes: Hypopomidae), were collected from the Peixe-Boi River in the state of Pará, Brazil (1°06’59” S; 47°18’26” W).

The Molecular Mechanisms Employed by the Parasite Myxobolus bejeranoi (Cnidaria: Myxozoa) from Invasion through Sporulation for Successful Proliferation in Its Fish Host. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2023
Myxozoa is a unique group of obligate endoparasites in the phylum Cnidaria that can cause emerging diseases in wild and cultured fish populations. Recently, we identified a new myxozoan species, Myxobolus bejeranoi, which infects the gills of cultured ...

Phylogeny and ultrastructure of Myxobolus rangeli n. sp. (Myxozoa, Bivalvulida), a histozoic parasite in Siluriformes fish from the Amazon region. [PDF]

Rev Bras Parasitol Vet, 2023
A new species of Myxobolus parasitizing the arterial bulb and cardiac musculature of the freshwater fish Pimelodus ornatus Kner, 1858, from the Arari river in the municipality of Cachoeira do Arari, island of Marajó, Pará, Brazil, was described.

Comparative Multi-Marker Environmental DNA Metabarcoding of Marine Metazoan Communities: Water vs. Sediment. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT This study investigates the metazoan biodiversity in the Southern Adriatic Sea using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding. Sediment and adjacent water samples were collected from three sites (one pristine, two impacted by human activities) at three distances from the coast across two seasons.

Proteases as Therapeutic Targets Against the Parasitic Cnidarian Ceratonova shasta: Characterization of Molecules Key to Parasite Virulence In Salmonid Hosts

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Proteases and their inhibitors play critical roles in host-parasite interactions and in the outcomes of infections. Ceratonova shasta is a myxozoan pathogen that causes enteronecrosis in economically important salmonids from the Pacific Northwest of ...

Henneguya correai n. sp. (Cnidaria, Myxozoa) Parasitizing the Fins of the Amazonian Fish Semaprochilodus insignis

Diversity, 2023
We used a combination of morphological, molecular and biological data to characterize a novel Henneguya (Myxozoa) species infecting the Amazonian prochilodontid Semaprochilodus insignis or “kissing prochilodus”, a popular food fish and aquarium species ...

Post-mortem 'soft flesh' in three commercial fish species from off Atlantic Morocco associated with the myxosporean parasites Kudoa thyrsites and K. encrasicoli (Myxozoa).

Journal of food microbiology, 2023
Small pelagic fishes represent one of the most important food resources off the Northwest coast of Africa. Despite their economic significance, little is known about the infections with flesh invading myxosporean parasites of genus Kudoa (Cnidaria ...

The Mitochondrial Genomes of a Myxozoan Genus Kudoa Are Extremely Divergent in Metazoa. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The Myxozoa are oligo-cellular parasites with alternate hosts--fish and annelid worms--and some myxozoan species harm farmed fish. The phylum Myxozoa, comprising 2,100 species, was difficult to position in the tree of life, due to its fast evolutionary ...

The myxozoan parasite Myxobolus bejeranoi (Cnidaria: Myxozoa) infection dynamics and host specificity in hybrid tilapia aquaculture

Parasitology, 2023
Abstract Nile × blue tilapia hybrid (Oreochromis niloticus × O. aureus) has become an important food fish in intensive freshwater aquaculture. Recently, the parasite Myxobolus bejeranoi (Cnidaria: Myxozoa) was found to infect hybrid tilapia gills at high
