Kudoa thyrsites is a myxosporean parasite of marine fishes. It has a worldwide distribution, and infects a wide range of host species. This parasite is responsible for causing economic losses to the fisheries sector, by causing post-mortem "myoliquefaction", a softening of the flesh to such an extent that the fish becomes unmarketable. It is ...

Kudoa is a genus of Myxozoa and the only genus recognized within the monotypic family Kudoidae. There are approximately 100 species of Kudoa all of which parasitize on marine and estuarine fish. [1] Kudoa are most commonly known and studied for the negative effects the genus has on commercial fishing and aquaculture industries. [2]

The genus Kudoa is currently comprised of 44 described species distributed throughout marine and estuarine fishes worldwide. Whereas these myxosporeans are primarily histozoic parasites of the musculature (i.e., the parasite sporulates within muscle), a …

2012年10月15日 · Kudoa is a microscopic parasite found in several marine fish species worldwide. Enzymes produced by these parasites can make fish flesh soft or even gel-like, a condition commonly referred to as soft …

2024年3月4日 · In this article, Kudoa spp., a lesser-known group of parasites in wild fish and their potential to cause disease in humans is reviewed, shedding light on the importance of seafood safety measures. Kudoa is comprised of highly specialized metazoan parasites of fish hosts with a wide host range.

Kudoa thyrsites (Myxozoa: Multivalvulida) is a cosmopolitan marine parasite of fishes associated with post-mortem tissue degradation. Financial losses incurred as a result of these infections are of concern to commercial fisheries.

2024年1月10日 · This study identified a myxozoan parasite infecting wild P. tayenus from the Saudi Arabian Gulf. These parasites produced spherical to ovoid-shaped, white plasmodia enclosed within pseudocysts in the fish musculature.

The genus Kudoa (Myxozoa: Myxosporea) is comprised of at least 44 species that infect marine fishes worldwide (Moran et al. 1999b). Several Kudoa spp. are parasites of the musculature of commercially important fish species and are, therefore, of considerable concern...

2022年6月18日 · Kudoa thyrsites is a myxosporean parasite (Cnidaria, Myxozoa) that infects the skeletal and cardiac muscle of Northeast Atlantic (NEA) mackerel (Scomber scombrus). Heavy infections are associated with post-mortem myoliquefaction of the host skeletal muscle which reduces the quality of the fish product.

Fish species around the world are parasitized by myxozoans of the genus Kudoa, several of which infect and cause damage of commercial importance. In particular, Kudoa thyrsites and Kudoa amamiensis infect certain cultured fish species causing damage to muscle tissue, making the fish unmarketable.
