Limited information is available regarding the health status and diseases affecting this species, particularly in the wild. In September 2023, a post\u2010spawning female Adriatic sturgeon was found along the edges of the Adige River. The fish displayed abnormal swimming, cutaneous haemorrhages, extreme emaciation and died shortly after its finding. At necropsy, the stomach appeared enlarged with a firm texture and a severe restriction of the lumen due to the thickening of the gastric wall. A gastric leiomyoma was characterised by histology, and this represents the first description of such neoplasia in <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"><jats:italic>A. naccarii<\/jats:italic><\/jats:styled-content>. In the intestine, a severe infestation with roundworm belonging to the phylum Acanthocephala was responsible for severe haemorrhagic enteritis. The parasites were identified as belonging to the species <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"><jats:italic>Leptorhynchoides polycristatus<\/jats:italic><\/jats:styled-content>, providing the first description of such a parasite in Italy. Finally, genetic analyses were performed in order to assess genetic purity and relatedness with captive breeding stocks. The results showed that the individual did not cluster with any captive identified groups, supporting the likelihood of a pure and wild\u2010origin Adriatic sturgeon.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jfd.14128","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,5]],"date-time":"2025-04-05T21:22:18Z","timestamp":1743888138000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Leiomyoma Causing Disease in a Wild Adriatic Sturgeon (<scp><i>Acipenser naccarii<\/i><\/scp>, Bonaparte, 1836)"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"48","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9776-221X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.","family":"Marsella","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale Delle Venezie  Legnaro Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7699-9728","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T.","family":"Pretto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale Delle Venezie  Legnaro Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-5825-0668","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C.","family":"Samassa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biology Department, CoNISMa Padua University  Padua Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8962-9929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"P.","family":"Tedesco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna  Ozzano Emilia (BO) Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2239-3098","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"F.","family":"Pascoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale Delle Venezie  Legnaro Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9293-9837","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"L.","family":"Congiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biology Department, CoNISMa Padua University  Padua Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4249-4278","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.","family":"Gustinelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna  Ozzano Emilia (BO) Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"Borghesan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Freelance Biologist and Aquaculture Consultant  Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4389-3489","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.","family":"Toffan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale Delle Venezie  Legnaro Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00436\u2010013\u20103576\u2010z"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","first-page":"237","volume-title":"Biology, Conservation and Sustainable Development of Sturgeons","author":"Arlati G.","year":"2008"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/d14100829"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7868\/S0016675813090038"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jfd.12498"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/v16030465"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1755\u20100998.12203"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jai.12545"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0110951"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1111073109"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_14_12_1","first-page":"1077","article-title":"Leiomyoma Localized on the Head of a Goldfish (Carassius auratus)","volume":"29","author":"\u00c7ilta\u015f A.","year":"2005","journal-title":"Turkish Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ani10101866"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0030605321001216"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0018249"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1523\u20101739.2010.01458.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00436\u2010004\u20101114\u20108"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_18_1","first-page":"141","article-title":"The Rate of Growth of Fishes","volume":"3","author":"Fulton T.
