In the present study the actinosporean infestation of the oligochaete fauna has been studied. For first time in Egypt, a total of 6 different types of actinospores were isolated from the filtrated water contained oligochaetes Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri, Tubifex tubifex, Branchiura sowerbyei and Dero digitata. These new types are classified to hexactinospores and triactinospores. The drawings depicting these actinospore types are constructed and their characteristic dimensions are calculated. The obtained actinospore types are not identical with those described neither in Europe nor in Japan. Throughout the present study it could not decide which actinosporean represent any of species of myxosporean parasites in the given area which required a series of experiments to develop a model for each myxospore-actinospore life cycle.
在本研究中，对寡毛类动物的放射孢子虫感染情况进行了研究。在埃及首次从含有霍甫水丝蚓、颤蚓、苏氏尾鳃蚓和指鳃尾盘虫的过滤水中分离出总共6种不同类型的放射孢子。这些新类型被归类为六放孢子和三放孢子。绘制了描绘这些放射孢子类型的图，并计算了它们的特征尺寸。所获得的放射孢子类型与在欧洲和日本描述的类型均不相同。在整个本研究中，无法确定哪些放射孢子虫代表给定区域内粘孢子虫寄生虫的任何物种，这需要一系列实验来建立每个粘孢子-放射孢子生命周期的模型。
