Description of Three New Myxosporean Species (Myxozoa: Myxosporea: Bivalvulida) of the Genera Myxobilatus Davis, 1944 and Myxobolus Bütschli, 1882
The present communication describes three new species of myxosporeans (Myxozoa: Myxosporea: Bivalvulida), Myxobilatus odontamblyopusi sp. n., Myxobolus catmrigalae sp. n. and M. buccoroofus sp. n. from Odontamblyopus rubicundus (HamiltonBuchanan), Catla-Mrigal hybrid carp [male parent fish Catla catla (Hamilton-Buchanan) × female parent fish Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton-Buchanan)] and Labeo bata...
متن کاملSupplemental description of Myxobolus squamalis (Myxozoa).
Myxobolus squamalis is a myxozoan skin parasite first reported from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Identification of the parasite based on myxospore morphology is unreliable because M. squamalis is similar to several other myxobolids that share host species and geographic ranges. The only ssrRNA gene sequence available for M. squamalis is from Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tschawytscha, bu...
متن کاملMyxobolus absonus sp. n. (Myxozoa: Myxosporea) parasitizing pimelodus maculatus (siluriformes: Pimelodidae), a South American freshwater fish.
A new myxoporean species is described from a freshwater fish in Brazil. Myxobolus absonus sp. n. was found infecting Pimelodus maculatus captured in the river Piracicaba, State of São Paulo, Brazil. Cysts were found free in the opercular cavity. The spores are large (length--15.7 +/- 1.5 microns, width--10.2 +/- 0.7 microns; mean +/- S.D.) and oval in shape, with the anterior end slightly point...
متن کاملPopulation genetics of abnormal haemoglobins in Burkina Faso, west Africa.
The gene frequencies of haemoglobin A (HbA), HbS and HbC were studied in Burkina-Faso (BF) and in a neighbouring region of Niger, Ayorou. The frequency of HbS was higher in the Sahel region, (northern part of BF and Ayorou) than in the Savanna region. The reverse was true for the HbC gene. The major findings of this study are: (a) confirmation of a peak of HbC gene frequency in the central regi...
متن کاملMyxobolus species (Myxozoa), parasites of fishes in the Okavango River and Delta, Botswana, including descriptions of two new species.
Fieldwork was conducted in 1998 and 1999 in the Okavango River and Delta and a total of 275 fishes representing 31 species were examined for the presence of myxosporean parasites. A total of seven myxosporeans of the genus Myxobolus Bütschli, 1882 were found infecting the fishes. Two new species namely Myxobolus etsatsaensis sp. n. from Barbus thamalakanensis Fowler, 1935 and M. paludinosus sp....
