Two Myxobolus spp. are described from the kidney of the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) collected from the River Nile, Egypt. The prevalence of infection was 61 % (47/77), with the infected fish in each case parasitized by the two Myxobolus species simultaneously. The infection was exhibited as free spores in Bowman capsules and renal glomeruli, which makes their original structures difficult to discern. In some cases, the infection appeared as a fibrous plasmodia-like structure containing degenerated developmental stages and spores in the interstitium. The paper identifies each species based on the morphological characteristics of its spores and identifies the histological impacts of Myxobolus infection in this species of fish.
从埃及尼罗河采集的尼罗罗非鱼（Oreochromis niloticus）肾脏中发现了两种粘体虫属（Myxobolus）物种。感染率为61%（47/77），在每个感染病例中，鱼同时被这两种粘体虫属物种寄生。感染表现为鲍曼囊和肾小球中的游离孢子，这使得它们的原始结构难以辨别。在某些情况下，感染表现为间质中含有退化发育阶段和孢子的纤维状变形体样结构。本文根据孢子的形态特征鉴定了每个物种，并确定了粘体虫属感染对这种鱼类的组织学影响。
