Five new species of myxosporean parasite are described from cultured tilapias in Israel. These are: Myxosoma sarigi, Myxosoma equatorialis, Myxobolus israelensis, Myxobolus agolus, and Myxobolus galilaeus. The first four were found in hybrids of Oreochromis aureus X Oreochromis niloticus while Myxobolus galilaeus was found in Sarotherodon galilaeus. In addition, M. sarigi, M. israelensis, and Myxobolus sp. were also found in S. galilaeus. In the light of the present study, the taxonomy of myxosporean infections in tilapias is modified. Mature spores may localize in the melano-macrophage centers of the spleen and kidney where they may eventually be destroyed. No cases of mortality have so far been associated with these parasites.
从以色列养殖的罗非鱼中发现了5种新的粘孢子虫寄生虫。它们分别是：萨氏粘体虫（Myxosoma sarigi）、赤道粘体虫（Myxosoma equatorialis）、以色列碘泡虫（Myxobolus israelensis）、阿戈氏碘泡虫（Myxobolus agolus）和加利利碘泡虫（Myxobolus galilaeus）。前四种发现于奥利亚罗非鱼（Oreochromis aureus）和尼罗罗非鱼（Oreochromis niloticus）的杂交种中，而加利利碘泡虫发现于加利利口孵非鲫（Sarotherodon galilaeus）中。此外，萨氏粘体虫、以色列碘泡虫和一种未鉴定的碘泡虫（Myxobolus sp.）也在加利利口孵非鲫中被发现。根据本研究结果，罗非鱼粘孢子虫感染的分类学得到了修正。成熟孢子可能定位于脾脏和肾脏的黑素巨噬细胞中心，最终可能在那里被破坏。目前尚未发现这些寄生虫导致死亡的病例。
