Two distinct classes of myxozoans, Myxosporea and Malacosporea, are characterized by profound differences in rDNA evolution and well supported by differential biological and developmental features. This notwithstanding, most of the existing Myxosporea subtaxa require revision in the light of molecular phylogeny data. Most known myxozoans exhibit diheteroxenous cycles, alternating between a vertebrate host (mostly fish but also other poikilothermic vertebrates, and exceptionally birds and mammals) and an invertebrate (mainly annelids and bryozoans but possibly other ©Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS) FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE - Myxozoan Biology And Ecology - Dr. -

A recombinant IHNV (rIHNV) expressing the Renilla luciferase gene was generated and used to infect trout. A noninvasive bioluminescence assay was developed so that virus replication in live fish could be followed hours after infection. We provide here evidence that the fin bases are the portal of entry into the fish. Confirmation was brought by the use of a nonpathogenic rIHNV, which was shown to persist in fins for 3 weeks postinfection.

Common Diseases of Wild and Cultured Fishes in Alaska
COMMON DISEASES OF WILD AND CULTURED FISHES IN ALASKA Theodore Meyers, Tamara Burton, Collette Bentz and Norman Starkey July 2008 Alaska Department of Fish and Game Fish Pathology Laboratories The Alaska Department of Fish and Game printed this publication at a cost of $12.03 in Anchorage, Alaska, USA. 3 About This Booklet This booklet is a product of the Ichthyophonus Diagnostics, Educational and Outreach Program which was initiated and funded by the Yukon River Panel’s Restoration and Enhancement fund and facilitated by the Yukon River Drainage Fisheries Association in conjunction with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The original impetus driving the production of this booklet was from a concern that Yukon River fishers were discarding Canadian-origin Chinook salmon believed to be infected by Ichthyophonus. It was decided to develop an educational program that included the creation of a booklet containing photographs and descriptions of frequently encountered parasites within Yukon River fish. This booklet is to serve as a brief illustrated guide that lists many of the common parasitic, infectious, and noninfectious diseases of wild and cultured fish encountered in Alaska. The content is directed towards lay users, as well as fish culturists at aquaculture facilities and field biologists and is not a comprehensive treatise nor should it be considered a scientific document. Interested users of this guide are directed to the listed fish disease references for additional information. Information contained within this booklet is published from the laboratory records of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Fish Pathology Section that has regulatory oversight of finfish health in the State of Alaska. -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Myxosporea (Cnidaria: Myxozoa) are common fish parasites with complex life cycles that involve annelid hosts. Two economically important salmonid-infecting myxosporeans from rivers of the northwestern United States, Ceratonova shasta (Noble, 1950) and Parvicapsula minibicornis Kent et al., 1997, have life cycles that require a freshwater annelid host, identified previously as Manayunkia speciosa Leidy, 1859. This species was described originally from Pennsylvania, with subsequent records from New Jersey, the Great Lakes and west coast river basins. Despite apparent widespread distributions of both suitable fish hosts and the nominal annelid host, both parasites are restricted to river basins in the northwestern US and have never been recorded from the Great Lakes or the eastern US. In this study, we sampled 94 infected and uninfected annelids from two northwestern US rivers to confirm the identity of the host. We found these new specimens had mitochondrial COI sequences with no more than 4.5% distance from each other, but with at least 11% divergence from M. -

Ph.D. Thesis, in English - 215 pages, Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, České Bud ějovice. ANNOTATION This thesis is focused on the assessment of the phylogenetic position of the Myxozoa within the Metazoa, study of the evolutionary relationships within myxosporeans and investigation into the cryptic species assemblages of several myxosporeans based on the ribosomal and protein-coding data. The major part of this work was to confirm the evolutionary trends within myxosporeans based on a single gene by other molecular markers in order to find out if the reconstructed relationships correspond to the real organismal phylogeny. This has been a crucial step for future actions in solving the discrepancies between the myxosporean phylogeny and taxonomy.

Lineage III T. tubifex oligochaetes are highly susceptible to M. cerebralis infection. Lineage I, IV, V and VI oligochaetes are highly resistant or refractory to infection and may function as biological filters by deactivating M. cerebralis myxospores. We designed a 2-phased laboratory experiment using triactinomyxon (TAM) production as the response variable to test that hypothesis. A separate study conducted concurrently demonstrated that M. cerebralis myxospores held in sand and water at temperatures ≤15°C degrade rapidly, becoming almost completely non-viable after 180 d. Those results provided the baseline to assess deactivation of M. cerebralis myxospores by replicates of mixed lineage (I, III, V and VI) and refractory lineage (V and VI) oligochaetes. TAM production was zero among 7 of 8 Lineage V and Lineage VI T. tubifex oligochaete groups exposed to 12 500 M. cerebralis myxospores for 15, 45, 90 and 135 d. -
Pathological and Immunological Analyses of Thelohanellus Kitauei (Myxozoa:Myxosporea) Infection in the Scattered Mirror Carp, Cy
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Pathological and immunological analyses of Thelohanellus kitauei (Myxozoa:Myxosporea) infection in the scattered mirror carp, Cyprinus carpio Tao Liu1,4, Wen-Yan Wei3,4, Kai-Yu Wang1,2*, Qian Yang1 & Er-Long Wang1 Thelohanellus kitauei is a spore-forming myxosporean parasite prevalent in scattered mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio) that generates numerous cysts in the intestine and causes mass mortality in fsh. To investigate the infection and mortality induced by T. kitauei in pond-reared farms in Luo-Jiang (104°51’N, 31°31’E), southwest China, morphological and molecular analyses of infected fsh were conducted. Natural and specifc immune indicators were further evaluated to determine the immunological efects of response to parasitic infection. The infectious parasite was identifed as Thelohanellus kitauei based on morphological, 18S rDNA and infectious characteristics. Scattered mirror carp was determined as the specifc intermediate host of the parasite. However, T. kitauei still caused considerable damage to the fsh, in particular, injury and blockage of the intestines, resulting in malnutrition and even death. The mature spores of T. kitauei colonize the intestinal submucosa of carp and form cysts of various sizes that block the intestinal tract and release spores into the enteric cavity upon rupture, leading to the next phase of T. kitauei growth. Moreover, T. kitauei-infected carp showed weaker innate immunity. IgM is involved in the fght against parasitic infection while cytokines, such as IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α, had an impact on infection processes. To our knowledge, this is the frst report to show that T. kitauei infects and causes death in scattered mirror carp. -
Evolution, Origins and Diversification of Parasitic Cnidarians
1 Evolution, Origins and Diversification of Parasitic Cnidarians Beth Okamura*, Department of Life Sciences, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, United Kingdom. Email: [email protected] Alexander Gruhl, Department of Symbiosis, Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, Celsiusstraße 1, 28359 Bremen, Germany *Corresponding author 12th August 2020 Keywords Myxozoa, Polypodium, adaptations to parasitism, life‐cycle evolution, cnidarian origins, fossil record, host acquisition, molecular clock analysis, co‐phylogenetic analysis, unknown diversity Abstract Parasitism has evolved in cnidarians on multiple occasions but only one clade – the Myxozoa – has undergone substantial radiation. We briefly review minor parasitic clades that exploit pelagic hosts and then focus on the comparative biology and evolution of the highly speciose Myxozoa and its monotypic sister taxon, Polypodium hydriforme, which collectively form the Endocnidozoa. Cnidarian features that may have facilitated the evolution of endoparasitism are highlighted before considering endocnidozoan origins, life cycle evolution and potential early hosts. We review the fossil evidence and evaluate existing inferences based on molecular clock and co‐phylogenetic analyses. Finally, we consider patterns of adaptation and diversification and stress how poor sampling might preclude adequate understanding of endocnidozoan diversity. 2 1 Introduction Cnidarians are generally regarded as a phylum of predatory free‐living animals that occur as benthic polyps and pelagic medusa in the world’s oceans. They include some of the most iconic residents of marine environments, such as corals, sea anemones and jellyfish. Cnidarians are characterised by relatively simple body‐plans, formed entirely from two tissue layers (the ectoderm and endoderm), and by their stinging cells or nematocytes.
