Studying the ancient parasitic cnidarian, Sphaerospora elegans, leads to better understanding of oligochaete diversity and myxozoan discovery

Creator:

Lehrburger, David J.

Abstract:

Myxozoans are microscopic parasites, related to corals and jellyfish. Most Myxozoa probably have two-host lifecycles that require a vertebrate (typically fish) and invertebrate (annelid or bryozoan). However no life cycle is known from the Sphaerospora lineage. I hypothesized that the life cycle of Sphaerospora elegans, a myxozoan parasite of three-spined...

Environmental DNA reveals cryptic parasite species and gives insight into their fish hosts

Creator:

Phillips, Kyle

Abstract:

Ceratonova shasta is a myxozoan fish parasite that impacts hatchery and wild populations of salmon and trout in the Pacific Northwest. Levels of the parasite in river water can be effectively monitored through direct filtration of parasite spores from water, extraction of total "environmental DNA" (eDNA), then quantitative polymerase chain...

How Do Parasites Infect Salmon? Comparative Transcriptomics Reveal Myxozoan Adaptations for Parasitism

Creator:

Americus, Benjamin

Abstract:

The phylum Cnidaria contains three main branches: Anthozoa (corals, sea anemones) Medusozoa (jellyfish, hydra), and Endocnidozoa. This latter branch is characterized by parasitism and contains the microscopic fish-parasites Myxozoa. Myxozoa are highly simplified, consisting of only a few cell types, however they have retained the nematocyst stinging cells and complex...
