title: Gill myxosporeans on some Egyptian freshwater fish.
abstract: Seven new species of myxosporeans are described from gills of seven freshwater species of fish from Egypt. The annual developmental cycle of the gills involves a period of summer invasion, followed in the autumn by development of cysts (plasmodia + host capsule) and initiation of sporogenesis, completion of sporogenesis in the winter, and the release of spores in the spring.
