Research Topic:
Supplemental analysis of Myxobolus squamalis based on small ribosomal subunit DNA sequencing
An updated small ribosomal subunit DNA sequence of Myxobolus squamalis will be determined for accurate identification of tissue and filtered water samples with real-time PCR amplification, as related species exhibit similar myxospore morphologies.
