However, little is known about the associated myxozoan diversity. The present paper describes a new parasite species of\n                    <jats:italic>Henneguya<\/jats:italic>\n                    Th\u00e9lohan, 1892 infecting\n                    <jats:italic>Distichodus mossambicus<\/jats:italic>\n                    Peters, 1852, an endemic freshwater fish species commonly found in the Congo Basin. Fish were collected from the Kadey River at Mindourou, a village in the East Region of Cameroon. To study the new\n                    <jats:italic>Henneguya<\/jats:italic>\n                    species, morphological analysis using light microscopy was combined with a phylogenetic analysis of small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA) using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods. White and elongated plasmodia were found in the gill lamellae. The myxospore body was 11.5 \u00b1 0.2 (mean \u00b1 SD) (range: 10.4-12.7) \u00b5m long, 3.3 \u00b1 0.1 (2.7-3.9) \u00b5m wide, and 2.3 \u00b1 0.1 (1.9-2.9) \u00b5m thick. The caudal appendages were 22.1 \u00b1 0.4 (20.1-25.9) \u00b5m long and the total length of the new species was 29.7 \u00b1 0.3 (27.5-32.3) \u00b5m. The 2 pyriform polar capsules were of the same size, 3.7 \u00b1 0.1 (3.2-4.2) \u00b5m long and 1.0 \u00b1 0.03 (0.9-1.2) \u00b5m wide.

Further work characterizing myxozoan species using both morphological, molecular, and phylogenetic data is required to better understand myxozoan diversity in Africa.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3354\/dao03906","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,18]],"date-time":"2025-12-18T10:50:36Z","timestamp":1766055036000},"page":"1-11","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3354\/policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Characterization of Henneguya kadeyensis sp. nov.
