A new species of microsporidians, Thelohania assovi sp. n., was found in population of larvae of Odagmia sp. inhabiting mountain rivers of Tien-Shan and south-eastern Kazakhstan. The infection of larvae with this species varies from single individuals to 18-20% while pupae are infected only with single speciments. The species differes from all known members of this genus in a number of characters. Size of 50 measured spores varied from 4.4-7.0 X 2.5-3.8 in live specimens to 3.8-6.4 X 2.3-3.8 mem in fixed ones. The parasite causes patho--morphological changes in injured tissues.
在栖息于天山山脉和哈萨克斯坦东南部山区河流的奥达米亚属（Odagmia sp.）幼虫种群中发现了一种新的微孢子虫物种——阿索夫泰勒汉内微孢子虫（Thelohania assovi sp. n.）。该物种对幼虫的感染率从单个个体到18 - 20%不等，而蛹仅被单个标本感染。该物种在许多特征上与该属所有已知成员不同。50个测量孢子的大小，活体标本中为4.4 - 7.0×2.5 - 3.8，固定标本中为3.8 - 6.4×2.3 - 3.8微米。这种寄生虫会导致受损组织发生病理形态变化。
