This report details the development of a microsporidan infection in a colony of seahorses (Hippocampus erectus) caused by Glugea heraldi. Of 76 animals imported from Florida Bay (USA), two survived. A myxosporidan (Sphaeromyxa sp.) and an unidentified nematode infection were also diagnosed in the same colony, but these infections were not considered important, causative factors in the mortalities.
本报告详细描述了由赫氏格鲁吉亚虫(Glugea heraldi)引起的一群直立海马(Hippocampus erectus)微孢子虫感染的发展情况。从美国佛罗里达湾进口的76只海马中,仅有两只存活。在同一群体中还诊断出一种粘孢子虫(球形粘孢子虫属,Sphaeromyxa sp.)感染和一种不明线虫感染,但这些感染不被认为是导致死亡的重要致病因素。
