A new species of Sphaeromyxa (Myxosporea: Sphaeromyxina: Sphaeromyxidae) in devil firefish, Pterois miles (Scorpaenidae), from the northern Red Sea: morphology, ultrastructure, and phylogeny

Sphaeromyxa zaharoni n. sp. (Myxosporea) is described from the gallbladder of devil firefish, Pterois miles (Scorpaenidae), from coral reefs of the Gulf of Eilat, Israel, northern Red Sea. The parasite was found also in bearded scorpionfish, Scorpaenopsis barbata, from the same area. This is the first report on Sphaeromyxa sp. from this zoogeographical region. The plasmodia are amoeboid when young, becoming disc-shaped and elongated when mature. In paraffin sections, the plasmodium periphery appears as a finely granulated, strongly eosinophilic layer with an intricate surface membrane network. Sphaeromyxa zaharoni n. sp. is polysporous, disporoblastic, and has asynchronous sporogenesis. The mature spore is elongated and fusiform, has delicately ridged valves, and contains a single, binucleated sporoplasm. In valvular view, the tips are truncated. The mean spore size is length 14.5 microm, width 4.8 microm, and polar capsule 4.8 x 3.4 microm. The 2 equally sized ovoid polar capsules are positioned at opposite ends of the spore, each containing a filament loosely folded in 2 loops. The fine structure of the sporoblast and spore corresponded with previously studied Sphaeromyxa species. According to small-subunit ribosomal DNA gene sequence analysis, S. zaharoni n. sp. is most closely related to 2 Myxidium spp. The close phylogenetic relatedness of Sphaeromyxa and Myxidium and similar spore morphology raises the question whether these 2 genera should be maintained in separate families and suborders.     

Structure and Development of a Marine Actinosporean, Sphaeractinomyxon ersei n. sp. (Myxozoa)

ABSTRACT This is the first ultrastructural study of the development of a marine actinosporean and of a species belonging to the genus Sphaeractinomyxon Caullery & Mesnil, 1904. S. ersei n. sp. is described from a limnodriloidine oligochaete, Doliodrilus diverticulatus Erséus, 1985, from Moreton Bay. Queensland, Australia. Development is asynchronous, there being all stages from two-celled pansporoblasts through to mature spores present simultaneously within a host. Spores develop in groups of eight within pansporoblasts in the coelom and when mature are located also in the intestinal lumen. The primordial spore envelope and sporoplasm develop separately in the pansporoblast until the polar filament is formed within the polar capsule and the capsulogenic cell cytoplasm has begun to degrade. The sporoplasm then enters the spore through a separated valve junction. Mature spores are triradially symmetrical with three centrally located polar capsules and a single binucleate sporoplasm with about 46 germ cells. Swellings or projections of the epispore do not occur when spores exit the host and contact sea water.

放射孢子虫(Actinosporean)是黏体动物在其中间宿主水生无脊椎动物体内的一个生活阶段。研究鉴定并描述了一种雷氏放射孢子虫的形态和分子特征。该放射孢子虫的主要形态结构是: 由三个极囊、内含孢原质的孢子体和三个尾突组成, 无孢柄。极囊位于孢子体顶端, 呈梨形, 长5.2 μm, 宽2.9 μm; 孢子体侧面观呈长椭圆形, 长16.4 μm, 宽9.5 μm; 三个尾突基本等长, 呈锚状, 平均长度102.6 μm, 宽9.54 μm, 尾突末端轻微的上翘。每个尾突远侧端表面有许多形状不规则的棘状小刺。18S rDNA序列比对表明, 该雷氏放射孢子虫与国外已报道的Myxobolus cultus 18S rDNA序列一致性最高, 达98.41%, 由此推测该雷氏放射孢子虫可能为M. cultus的对应放射孢子虫阶段。研究丰富了国内放射孢子虫的基础研究。     

Development of the Polar Filament-Polaroplast Complex in a Microsporidian Parasite*

SYNOPSIS. The development of the polar filament in a microsporidian parasite was studied in the electron microscope. The polar filament is a peculiar and complex organelle with intricate anatomical relationships to other structures in the mature spore. The characteristic ultrastructure of the formative and mature stages of the polar filament made it possible to trace its development and study the interactions among various organelles during its formation. In sporoblasts the polar filament develops sequentially from 3 different regions. The base of the filament appears first and is derived from a dense body. The anterior part of the filament is formed from electron dense material located in the perinuclear cisterna and in agranular endoplasmic reticulum. The base and the anterior part of the filament move toward each other and fuse. Subsequently, the posterior part of the filament develops from the posterior part of the Golgi complex. The polar sac and the polaroplast surrounding the anterior segment of the filament are formed from the anterior region of the Golgi complex.     

Ultrastructural data on the spore of Myxobolus maculatus n. sp. (phylum Myxozoa), parasite from the Amazonian fish Metynnis maculatus (Teleostei)

Light and electron microscopy studies of a myxosporean, parasitic in the intertubular interstitial tissue of the kidney of the freshwater teleost fish Metynnis maculatus Kner, 1860 (Characidae) from the lower Amazon River (Brazil), are described. We observed polysporic histozoic plasmodia delimited by a double membrane and with several pinocytic channels and containing several life cycle stages, including mature spores. The spore body was of pyriform shape and was 21.0 microm long, 8.9 microm wide and 7.5 microm thick. Elongated-pyriform polar capsules were of equal size (12.7 x 3.2 microm) and contained a polar filament with 14 or 15 coils. The spore features fit those of the genus Myxobolus. Densification of the capsular primordium matrix, which increased in density from the inner core outwards, differentiating at the periphery into small microfilaments measuring 45 nm each, and tubuli arranged in aggregates and dispersed within the capsular matrix of the mature spores, are described. Based on the morphological differences and specificity of the host, we propose the creation of a new species named Myxobolus maculatus n. sp.

A new genus Gadimyxa with three new species (Myxozoa, Parvicapsulidae) parasitic in marine fish (Gadidae) and the two-host life cycle of Gadimyxa atlantica n. sp

The myxozoans Gadimyxa atlantica n. sp. and G. sphaerica n. sp., and G. arctica n. sp. (Myxozoa, Parvicapsulidae), are described from Gadus morhua L. and Arctogadus glacialis (Peters) (Gadidae), respectively. They develop coelozoic in bisporic plasmodia in the urinary systems. Two morphological forms of spores were found in all 3 species, i.e., wide and (sub)spherical forms. Both spore types are bilaterally symmetrical along the suture line. The wide spores, semicircular in frontal view and elliptical in apical view, have 2 spherical polar capsules, which open in the sutural or median plane mid on the flat side of the spore. Mean widths of the wide spores of G. atlantica, G. sphaerica, and G. arctica are 7.5, 10.0, and 10.0 microm, respectively. The older, more thick-walled, (sub)spherical spores with binucleate sporoplasm are 8.0, 5.3, and 7.3 microm in mean width, respectively. The mean diameters of the polar capsules of (sub)spherical spores are 2.4, 1.7, and 2.2 microm, respectively. The (sub)spherical forms of Gadimyxa are most similar to Ortholinea within the Ortholineidae, but they differ in the development of the spores and in the arrangement of the polar capsules. The polychaetes Spirorbis spp. (Spirorbidae) act as invertebrate hosts of G. atlantica. The previously described actinospores of the tetractinomyxon type develop to myxospores in Gadus morhua within 8 wk. This is the second known myxozoan 2-host life cycle in the marine environment. Phylogenetic analyses based on partial small subunit rDNA sequences places Gadimyxa spp. among Parvicapsula spp. in the Parvicapsulidae.     

Myxobolus insignis sp. n. (Myxozoa, Myxosporea, Myxobolidae), a parasite of the Amazonian teleost fish Semaprochilodus insignis (Osteichthyes, Prochilodontidae)

A new myxosporean species is described from the fish Semaprochilodus insignis captured from the Amazon River, near Manaus. Myxobolus insignis sp. n. was located in the gills of the host forming plasmodia inside the secondary gill lamellae. The spores had a thick wall (1.5-2 microm) all around their body, and the valves were symmetrical and smooth. The spores were a little longer than wide, with rounded extremities, in frontal view, and oval in lateral view. They were 14.5 (14-15) microm long by 11.3 (11-12) microm wide and 7.8 (7-8) microm thick. Some spores showed the presence of a triangular thickening of the internal face of the wall near the posterior end of the polar capsules. This thickening could occur in one of the sides of the spore or in both sides. The polar capsules were large and equal in size surpassing the midlength of the spore. They were oval with the posterior extremity rounded, and converging anteriorly with tapered ends. They were 7.6 (7-8) microm long by 4.2 (3-5) microm wide, and the polar filament formed 6 coils slightly obliquely to the axis of the polar capsule. An intercapsular appendix was present. There was no mucous envelope or distinct iodinophilous vacuole.     

Multivalvulid myxozoans from eastern Australia: three new species of Kudoa from scombrid and labrid fishes of the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia

Three new species of Kudoa, each having 6 polar capsules, are described from the somatic muscle of fishes collected on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. Kudoa grammatorcyni n. sp. was observed in the shark mackerel Grammatorcynus bicarinatus. Spores are stellate in apical view, width (all measurements in microm) 8.62 (8.03-8.95); thickness 8.14 (7.63-8.68); suture width 7.7 (7.24-8.16); length 6.54 (6.32-6.71); polar capsule length 3.68 (3.55-3.82); polar capsule width 1.72 (1.65-1.84). Kudoa scomberomori n. sp. is described from the Spanish mackerel Scomberomorus commerson. Spores are stellate in apical view, width 7.56 (6.84-8.16); thickness 6.79 (6.18-7.63); suture width 5.92 (5.26-6.32); length 5.43 (5.00-6.18); polar capsule length 3.24 (3.03-3.55); polar capsule width 1.37 (1.25-1.51). Kudoa thalassomi n. sp. is described from the moon wrasse Thalassoma lunare. Spores are stellate in apical view, width 10.66 (9.47-11.84); thickness 9.37 (8.55-10.79); suture width 7.98 (6.84-8.82); length 6.65 (6.18-7.11); polar capsule length 4.92 (4.74-5.00); polar capsule width 2.12 (2.04-2.24). All 3 species differ in spore morphology from the 1 previously described myxozoan with 6 polar capsules, Hexacapsula neothunni from yellowfin tuna Neothunnus macropterus, which has since been reassigned to Kudoa.
