Phylogeny and ultrastructure of Myxobolus rangeli n. sp. (Myxozoa, Bivalvulida), a histozoic parasite in Siluriformes fish from the Amazon region

Abstract: A new species of Myxobolus parasitizing the arterial bulb and cardiac musculature of the freshwater fish Pimelodus ornatus Kner, 1858, from the Arari river in the municipality of Cachoeira do Arari, island of Marajó, Pará, Brazil, was described. In the present study, the observed prevalence of myxozoan parasites in the heart tissue of the hosts was 20% (6/30). The myxozoans observed had mature biconvex spores, slightly rounded, an anterior end with two pyriform polar capsules and a posterior end with very evid… Show more

“…parasitizing the blood of M. lippincottianus. It is worth mentioning that this species of myxozoan has already been found in several fish organs, such as gills, blood vessels and caudal kidney (Cirkovic et al, 2010;Mabika et al, 2016;Manrique et al, 2017;Batueva, 2020;Maftuch et al, 2021;Silva et al, 2023), with the bloodstream being the least recurrent organ for Myxobolus sp. parasitism, which demonstrates the degree of relevance of this work.…”
