Myxobolus species infecting the cartilaginous rays of the gill filaments in cyprinid fishes

Abstract: During a survey on myxosporean parasites of cyprinid fishes in Hungary, Myxobolus infections were found in the cartilaginous rays of the gill filaments in roach (Rutilus rutilus) and bleak (Alburnus alburnus). Myxobolus spp. causing the infections were studied by morphological, histological and molecular methods. Small plasmodia surrounded by chondrocytes contained relatively few spores which differed from each other and from the known Myxobolus spp. both in their morphology and 18S rDNA sequences. Both species, described as M. feisti sp. nov. and M. susanlimae sp. nov., are characterised by a specific cartilaginous histotropism.
