Studies on fish parasitic myxozoans in Lake Balaton, Hungary and in freshwater and marine biotopes in Malaysia

Abstract

There are only few data on the occurrence of parasitic myxozoans on Malaysian fishes. In this study, we report on collection of some new myxosporean species between 2010 and 2013 from this country. Four of them infected freshwater fishes; one was collected from an estuarine fish host. Besides morphological characterization of the species found, we made a molecular analysis on their 18S rDNA.
