During a recent investigation of parasites infecting fishes from the Okavango River and Delta, Botswana (southern Africa) fourteen sharptooth catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) (Siluriformes: Clariidae) were examined for the presence of myxozoan infections. Results revealed the presence of two species of the genus Henneguya Thélohan, 1895 and one species of the genus Myxobolus Bütschli, 1882 infecting this fish host. Two of the sampled fish exhibited large plasmodia of Henneguya suprabranchiae Landsberg, 1987 in the cartilage of the accessory breathing organ, another two individuals were infected with H. samochimensis sp. n. plasmodia in the gills and another three individuals revealed an infection with Myxobolus gariepinus sp. n. plasmodia in the ovaries.
近期在对博茨瓦纳（非洲南部）奥卡万戈河及三角洲鱼类寄生虫的调查中，对14条尖齿胡鲶（Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822)，鲇形目：胡鲶科）进行了检查，以确定是否存在粘孢子虫感染。结果显示，有两种1895年命名的Henneguya属粘孢子虫以及一种1882年命名的Myxobolus属粘孢子虫感染了这种鱼类宿主。在采样的鱼中，有两条在辅助呼吸器官的软骨中出现了1987年命名的鳃上Henneguya suprabranchiae大型孢子虫，另外两条个体的鳃中感染了新种H. samochimensis孢子虫，还有三条个体的卵巢中发现感染了新种Myxobolus gariepinus孢子虫。
