Soricimyxum fegati gen. et sp. n. is a new myxosporean (Myxozoa) species discovered in the liver of shrews, Sorex araneus L., collected in the Bialowieza primeval forest (Poland). Both developmental stages and mature spores were found during a histological study. The infection had about 40% prevalence at the investigated locality. Plasmodia were polysporic. Elongated plasmodia with an average size of 30 by 8 microm occupied bile ducts and larger rounded plasmodia up to 80 microm in diameter…

A novel myxozoan parasite, Ellipsomyxa boleophthalmi sp. nov. (Myxozoa: Ceratomyxidae) in the brackishwater fish, Boleophthalmus dussumieri Valenciennes, 1837 (Perciformes: Gobiidae) from India.
TLDR
The unique morphological and morphometric features of the myxospore, together with the molecular analysis, allowed us to conclude that the present myxozoan is a new species and is named Ellipsomyxa boleophthalmi sp.

Xenoma-like formations induced by Soricimyxum fegati (Myxosporea) in three species of shrews (Soricomorpha: Soricidae), including records of new hosts.
TLDR
Lesions associated with S. fegati infections in the liver, the organ of specific localisation of the parasite, were found to be induced by proliferative stages migrating toward lumina of bile ducts.
Ellipsomyxa arariensis n. sp. (Myxozoa: Ceratomyxidae), a new myxozoan parasite of Pygocentrus nattereri Kner, 1858 (Teleostei: Characidae) and Pimelodus ornatus Kner, 1858 (Teleostei: Pimelodidae) from Marajó Island, in the Brazilian Amazon region
TLDR
The morphological data and the partial sequences of the SSU rRNA gene provide a conclusive diagnosis of Ellipsomyxa arariensis n.

Light and electron microscopic observations on the route of the triactinomyxon-sporoplasm of Myxobolus cerebralis from epidermis into rainbow trout cartilage
TLDR
The ultrastructure of the proliferative phase (presporogonic development) and the sporogonic phase of the life cycle are demonstrated and discussed and the ultrast structure of the sporoplasm migrates between the epidermal cells and enters the epithelia and multiplies intracellularly.

TLDR
Light and transmission electron microscopy revealed pericytes of brain capillaries of moles as parasitized intracellularly, and the parasite was designated a myxozoan-like organism.

Ellipsomyxa gobii (Myxozoa: Ceratomyxidae) in the common goby Pomatoschistus microps (Teleostei: Gobiidae) uses Nereis spp. (Annelida: Polychaeta) as invertebrate hosts.
TLDR
This is the first myxozoan two-host life cycle in the marine environment and small subunit ribosomal DNA sequences of the actinosporean with E. gobii were identical, which further verifies that both forms belong to the same organism.
Myxobolus sp., Another Opportunistic Parasite in Immunosuppressed Patients?
TLDR
A parasite belonging to the phylum Myxozoa, recently described from human samples, was identified in one sample, and an identical parasite was found in another sample from a patient presenting with diarrhea.
Recent Advances in Our Knowledge of the Myxozoa
TLDR
It is indicated that the Myxozoa are closely related to Cnidaria, and marine taxa at the genus level branch separately from genera that usually infect freshwater fishes; taxa cluster more by development and tissue location than by spore morphology.
Diets and coexistence in Neomys and Sorex shrews in Białowieża forest, eastern Poland
TLDR
The results support the prediction that microhabitat selection among these species indicates differentiation in foraging mode, and suggest that the most important promoter of resource partitioning was body size, indicating different foraging modes.
