Molecular Characterization of the Myoliquefactive Fish Parasite <i>Kudoa mirabilis</i> (Cnidaria, Kudoidae) from SW Indian Ocean and Its Phylogenetic Relationship with the <i>Kudoa thyrsites</i> Species Complex

Myxosporean parasites of the genus <i>Kudoa</i> are fish parasites of great economic importance, as some species can affect the fish fillet quality by producing macroscopic cysts or generating post mortem myoliquefaction, commonly referred to as ‘soft flesh’. <i>Kudoa mirabilis<...
