Abstract excerpt
Kudoid parasites are known to infect a large variety of fish. A significant proportion of Kudoa species have relatively low host specificity, with a single species able to infect multiple host species representing various host families even from different host orders. Since DNA sequences have been associated with myxosporean species characterisations, it has become far easier to determine host range of new...
