Specimens of Trachurus trachurus L., obtained monthly in a fish market of Oporto from October 1998 to August 1999, were examined for the presence of Kudoa in the muscle. Kudoa sp. spores were found in 84.7% of the specimens (n = 209). The prevalence was not significantly different between seasons and was not related to the host's length. The infection does not seem to have negative effects on the fish quality once no macroscopic pseudocysts or myoliquefaction were detected.
1998年10月至1999年8月期间，每月从波尔图的一个鱼市采集竹荚鱼样本，检测其肌肉中是否存在库道虫属。在84.7%的样本（n = 209）中发现了库道虫属的孢子。不同季节的感染率没有显著差异，且与宿主长度无关。由于未检测到肉眼可见的假囊肿或肌肉液化，这种感染似乎对鱼的品质没有负面影响。
