Epitheliocystis is a disease caused by a wide variety of host-specific intracellular bacteria infecting fish gills. In the Mediterranean Sea, epitheliocystis has been recently associated with a novel genus of beta-proteobacteria, the . Ichthyocystis genus. In the present study, we report a case of epitheliocystis in a wild-caught specimen of pompano in Crete, Greece. Molecular analysis of partial 16s rRNA sequence led to the discovery of a putative novel species of the . Ichthyocystis genus. Investigation of the phylogenetic relationship between closely related sequences deposited in NCBI suggests that bacterial ancestors in gilthead seabream might have a pivotal role in the differentiation of genus.
上皮囊肿病是由多种宿主特异性细胞内细菌感染鱼类鳃部引起的一种疾病。在地中海，上皮囊肿病最近与一种新型β-变形菌属——鱼囊肿菌属有关。在本研究中，我们报告了希腊克里特岛一条野生捕获的鲳参标本中发生上皮囊肿病的病例。对部分16s rRNA序列的分子分析导致发现了鱼囊肿菌属的一个假定新物种。对NCBI中 deposited的密切相关序列之间的系统发育关系进行研究表明，金头鲷中的细菌祖先可能在该属的分化中起关键作用。 （注：原文中“deposited”前似乎少了个词，影响理解，翻译时按现有内容译出。）
