Abstract | ||||
A new species of Myxobolus (Myxosporidia: Sporozoa) has been found in the testis of a freshwater fish clarias lazera in the form of microscop < /strong>ic cysts. The cysts were 0.5-1.5 mm. by 0.5-1.0 mm. (average 1.0x0.75 mm. ). The spores were 9-12.21x7.50-9.90u. (average 10.61x8.7u) with two equal polar capsules measuring 3.50-4.78x2.15-2. 74u (average 4.14x2.45u) The spores contained iodinophilous vacuoles within their sporop < /strong>lasm. The histochemicol studies were carried out on the cyst wall and spores. | ||||
