A new myxosporean Myxobolus cultus n. sp. was found in experimentally infected goldfish Carassius auratus exposed to actinosporean spores from the oligochaete Branchiura sowerbyi (Tubificidae). At 2-4 mo following initial exposure, spores of M. cultus were observed in the cartilage of goldfish. A lymphocytic infiltrate surrounded the pseudocysts. Some pseudocysts were destroyed and spores had been engulfed by phagocytes. Phagocytized spores were also found in the epidermis of skin and within melanomacrophage centers in the kidney.
在实验感染的金鱼（Carassius auratus）中发现了一种新的粘孢子虫——Myxobolus cultus n. sp.，该金鱼被暴露于来自寡毛纲颤蚓科苏氏尾鳃蚓（Branchiura sowerbyi）的放射孢子虫孢子。在初次暴露后的2至4个月，在金鱼的软骨中观察到了Myxobolus cultus的孢子。淋巴细胞浸润围绕着假囊肿。一些假囊肿被破坏，孢子被吞噬细胞吞噬。在皮肤表皮和肾脏的黑素巨噬细胞中心也发现了被吞噬的孢子。
