Increasing the known biodiversity of cnidarian parasites of bryconid fishes from South America: two novel Myxobolus species with ultrastructure and ssrDNA-based phylogeny.

abstract：:In 1997, an outbreak of alveolar echinococcosis in Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata) occurred in a zoo in Hokkaido, Japan. Twelve infected monkeys from a colony (n = 57) were diagnosed serologically by Western blotting, and ultrasonography showed the presence of tumor-like tissue in the livers of nine monkeys. The 12 ...
