A comprehensive account of fungal classification from freshwater habitats is outlined and
discussed in the present review based on literature of biodiversity studies and recent …

Microsporidia are a group of fungi-like intracellular and unicellular parasites, which infect
nearly all animals. As “master parasites”, over 1400 microsporidian species have been …

Compared to the higher fungi (Dikarya), taxonomic and evolutionary studies on the basal
clades of fungi are fewer in number. Thus, the generic boundaries and higher ranks in the …

Research into freshwater fungi has generated a wealth of information over the past decades
with various published articles, ie, reviews, books, and monographs. With the advancement …

Invasive non-native species (INNS) pose a risk as vectors of parasitic organisms (Invasive
Parasites). Introducing invasive parasites can result in ecological disturbances, leading to …

Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) can co-transport externally and internally other
organisms including viruses, bacteria and other eukaryotes (including metazoan parasites) …

An epidemic of hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (HPND) with a high mortality rate (40%–
50%) recently occurred in the cultured Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, which is a …

With over 10000 species of Amphipoda currently described, this order is one of the most
diverse groups of freshwater and marine Crustacea. Members of this group are globally …

Abstract Around 57.1% of microsporidia occupy aquatic environments, excluding a further
25.7% that utilise both terrestrial and aquatic systems. The aquatic microsporidia therefore …

DNA metabarcoding offers new perspectives, especially with regard to the high‐throughput
identification and diagnostics of pathogens. Microsporidia are an example of widely …
