A list of myxozoan genera is presented in the current taxonomical scheme. These genera
are defined; their type species and most important pathogens along with their hosts are …

In the last few years two factors have helped to significantly advance our understanding of
the Myxozoa. First, the phenomenal increase in fin fish aquaculture in the 1990s has lead to …

Myxozoans evolved as an endoparasitic radiation of cnidarians exploiting invertebrate and
vertebrate (primarily fish) hosts in freshwater and marine environments. Currently, there are …

Sequences representing~ 1,700 base pairs of the 18S rRNA gene from 10 different species
in the genus Myxobolus were found to group them into 3 clusters that showed little …

The community of myxosporeans and actinosporeans inhabiting a typical Scottish highland
stream and the outflow area of an adjacent salmon hatchery was analysed on the basis of …

Myxozoans are highly specialized metazoan parasites of aquatic hosts with a very wide host
range. This diverse group of organisms is characterized by multicellular spores with polar …

Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) of salmonid fishes is caused by the extrasporogonic
stage of an enigmatic myxozoan, referred to as PKX. Sporogenesis occurs in the renal …

Current aquatic farming practices and the species that are grown worldwide are
extraordinarily varied and reflect the diversity of habitats, ecological niches and biological …

Myxozoans are spore-forming parasites of both freshwater and marine fishes (Lom &
Dyková, 1992, Kent et al., 2001; Feist & Longshaw, 2006). The Myxozoa were previously …

Developments in molecular biology have led to a rapid growth in new methods for
diagnosing fish diseases. Techniques of major significance include polymerase chain …
