Abstract |
A study on the actinosporean fauna of oligochaetes of Lake Balaton was carried out from 2009 to 2011. The morphology of actinosporean stages of myxosporeans obtained from oligochaetes was studied, and their 18S rDNA structure was analyzed by molecular biological methods. Three triactinomyxon types were released from the oligochaete Isochaetides michaelseni (Tubificidae). The sequences of Triactinomyxon type 1 proved to be identical with those of Myxobolus fundamentalis. The sequences of Triactinomyxon type 2 showed 99.9% similarity to Myxobolus eryhtrophthalmi, while the sequences of Triactinomyxon type 3 showed a 99.9% similarity to those of Myxobolus shaharomae. The life cycles of the above species, just like those of other species with a known life cycle, suggest that most Myxobolus spp. develop through triactinomyxon-type actinosporean stages. |
