Glugea

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glugea
Scientific classification Edit this classification
Domain: Eukaryota
Kingdom: Fungi
Phylum: Rozellomycota
Class: Microsporidea
Order: Glugeida
Family: Glugeidae
Genus: Glugea

Glugea is a genus of microsporidian parasites, predominantly infecting fish.[1] Infections of Glugea cause xenoma formation. [1]

Currently, Phylogenetic tree of this genus seem unreliable, as not enough evidence is present, [1] therefore species with their common hosts are given in a list:


Spraguea lophii has formerly been described as G. americanus.[1]

Microgemma caulleryi that infects the greater sand eel was previously classified as G. caulleryi.[6]
