Sphaerospora siluri n. sp. (Myxosporea: Sphaerosporidae) in the kidney of the sheatfish (Silurus glanis).
Sphaerospora siluri sp. n. is a parasite of the sheatfish (Silurus glanis) cultured in Hungarian pond farms. Spores and pseudoplasmodia of the species inhabit the lumen of the renal tubules, attaching loosely to the tubular epithelium. Spores developing in monosporous pseudoplasmodia have an almost triangular shape.
