title: [Myxozoa as parasites of the central nervous system of fishes].
abstract: Myxosporea species in the central nervous system of fish and host-parasite interactions are described. Whereas parasites living in the nervous tissue itself do not induce clinical signs or host reactions, Myxosporea localized in neighbouring mesenchymatous tissues (blood vessels, cartilages, meninges) may induce disease of economic significance.
