Myxobolus species (Myxozoa), found on Enteromius Cope, 1869 from the Okavango (Botswana) and Pongola (South Africa) River Systems

Abstract

Four known and three new Myxobolus species, from five species of Enteromius are reported from parasitological surveys conducted in both the Okavango and Pongola River Systems. This paper provides descriptive information of the three new species, with additional morphological information of the known species, and suggests an alternative method that can be used for the identification of myxosporeans when comparing spore morphology.
