Myxozoans are among the most abundant parasites in nature. Their life cycles involve two
hosts: an invertebrate, usually an annelid, and a vertebrate, usually a fish. They affect fish …

Myxozoans are microscopic, metazoan, obligate parasites, belonging to the phylum
Cnidaria. In contrast to the free-living lifestyle of most members of this taxon, myxozoans …

Fish intestinal parasites cause direct mortalities and also morbidity, poor growth, higher
susceptibility to opportunistic pathogens and lower resistance to stress. This review is …

Myxozoans evoke important economic losses in aquaculture production, but there is almost
a total lack of disease control methods as no vaccines or commercial treatments are …

Fish, comprising over 27,000 species, represent the oldest vertebrate group and possess
both innate and adaptive immune systems. The susceptibility of most wild fish to parasitic …

Myxozoan parasites are responsible for important economic losses among fisheries and
aquaculture industries, and hence the high interest in studying the immune response of fish …

The aim of the present work was to investigate the transcriptome response of gilthead sea
bream (Sparus aurata) after challenge with the myxosporean Enteromyxum leei, a wide …

Monogeneans parasitise mainly the outer structures of fish, such as the gills, fins, and skin,
that is, tissues covered with a mucous layer. While attached by sclerotised structures to …

Most individual fish in farmed and wild populations are infected with parasites. Upon
dissection of fish, helminths from gut are often easily visible. Enteric helminths include …

The field of mucosal immunology research has grown fast over the past few years, and our
understanding on how mucosal surfaces respond to complex antigenic cocktails is …
