A disease caused by parasitic dinoflagellates of the genus Hematodinium has been found in the soft crab Hapalogaster grebnitzkii from the Sea of Okhotsk, which is considered a new host for this agent among lithodid crabs. This report provides macro- and micromorphological descriptions (using light and transmission electron microscopy) of the disease, as well as molecular identification of Hematodinium sp. from soft crabs, based on 18S RNA sequence data.
一种由寄生甲藻属的血鞭毛原生动物引起的疾病在鄂霍次克海的软蟹 Hapalogaster grebnitzkii 中被发现，这被认为是这种病原体在石蟹中的新宿主。本报告提供了疾病的宏观和微观形态描述（使用光镜和透射电子显微镜），以及基于 18S RNA 序列数据从软蟹中鉴定出的血鞭毛原生动物的分子鉴定。
