First report of Urosporidium sp., a haplosporidian hyperparasite infecting digenean trematode Parvatrema duboisi in Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum on the west coast of Korea.

In this study, we first report on the occurrence of Urosporidium sp., a haplosporidian hyperparasite infecting the trematode, Parvatrema duboisi, which parasitizes Manila clams, Ruditapes philippinarum on the west and south coasts of Korea. The larval P.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Sebastes pachycephalus (Scorpaenidae, Scorpaeniformes) from the East Sea, Korea.

Due to variations in coloration as well as other morphological features, the identification of Sebastes pachycephalus has been problematic. The complete mitogenome of S. pachycephalus was acquired using next-generation sequencing.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the oblong rockfish Sebastes oblongus (Scorpaenidae, Scorpaeniformes).

The complete mitogenome of the oblong rockfish Sebastes oblongus was constructed using next-generation sequencing. The full genome was 16,396 bp in length, including two rRNA, 22 tRNA, one control region and 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs). The genome consisted of 28.

Isolation and identification of Perkinsus olseni from feces and marine sediment using immunological and molecular techniques.

Molecular and immunological probes were used to identify various life stages of Perkinsus olseni, a protozoan parasite of the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum, from a marine environment and decomposing clam tissue. Western blotting revealed that the antigenic determinants of the rabbit anti-P. olseni antibody developed in this study were peptides with molecular masses of 55.
