Myxozoans are an economically important group of microscopic parasites best known for the diseases they cause in commercially important fish hosts. The classification of myxosporeans is generally based on the morphology of their myxospores. Without molecular data, it is very difficult to identify new or existing species. DNA sequence information is therefore, a prerequisite to taxonomic and phy...

Myxosporeans are best known for the diseases they cause in commercially important fish species. Identification of myxosporeans at the species-level is mainly based on conventional methods. The 18S rRNA gene sequence of morphologically identified Myxobolus orissae infecting the gill lamellae of mrigal carp Cirrhinus mrigala was characterized in the present study. The plasmodia of M. orissae were...

Abstract Background The aquaculture sector is the biggest consumer of fishmeal and demand this ingredient higher than production. replacement from aquafeed a current research thrust. has been possible with plant ingredients in many fish species, however, possesses some limitations terms low digestibility inadequate nutrient profile. Results Complete diets Cirrihinus mrigala was studied using sp...

malathion is one of the most commonly used pesticides in agriculture. this study was aimed to investigate the acute toxicity of malathion as an aquatic pollutant on the behavior and hematological indices in indian carp ( cirrhinus mrigala ). a static experiment was conducted and 1, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hrs lc 50 values of malathion for the test fish were estimated as 14.55 mg/l, 12.48 mg/l, 11.56 ...

as new pathogenic strains are emerging and threatening aquaculture development, myxosporeans (myxozoa) are receiving much attention in recent years. myxosporean taxonomy is traditionally based on morphology of the myxospore stage. molecular data on indian myxosporeans are rare. in this report, the 18s rrna gene sequence of myxobolus cuttacki infecting gill lamellae of minor carp labeo bata (ham...
