Article Synopsis
- Researchers collected 4 freckled madtoms from a creek in Arkansas to study their organs for the presence of myxozoans during specific months in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
- Of the collected fish, 1 was found to have a novel myxozoan infection in its gallbladder, making it a 25% infection rate among the sample size.
- The study included detailed morphological and molecular analysis, revealing new findings about myxozoans and their relationship with fish in southern North America, marking the first time these organisms have been reported in madtoms' gallbladders.
Forty-two species of myxozoans, including 31 species of Myxobolus Bütschli, 1882, have been described from centrarchid fishes. One species, the green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus), has been reported to host at least three species of Myxobolus. Between March 2023 and June 2024, 42 L.

Analysis of molecular data revealed that the SSU rRNA gene of specimens of O. spinum from Arkansas was identical to a number of Octomacrum spp.
