Myxobolus dogieli Bykhovskaya-Pavlovskaya & Bykhovski, 1940 is regarded
as a site specific myxosporean, infecting the heart of cyprinid fish.
During a survey of the myxosporean fauna of Lake Balaton fish, heart
myxobolosis was found in the common bream, Abramis brama, with heavy
infection of the ventricle and the bulbus arteriosus in some infected
bream. Developing and mature plasmodia were mostly in the connective
tissue of the subepicardium and subendocardium. Plasmodia developing in
the subendocardium protruded into the lumen of the heart, while
plasmodia developing in the subepicardium protruded over the epicardium
forming large sausage-like outgrowths. Plasmodia with mature spores
were found in the summer. The shape and size of the spores corresponded
to those of the original description. Phylogenetic analysis based on
the 18S rDNA sequence of M. dogieli showed that this species fit well
in the genus Myxobolus. As no molecular data are available on spores
from the type host, common carp, the species studied by us is
temporarily designated as Myxobolus s.l. dogieli.
