Title: A case study of <i>Dermotheca gasterostei</i> (=<i>Dermocystidium gasterostei</i>, Elkan) isolated from three-spined stickleback (<i>Gasterosteus aculeatus</i>) captured in lake Vättern, Sweden.

In this brief report we present a histological investigation of the host-parasite relationship, and by 18S rRNA gene sequencing identify the parasite as Dermocystidium gasterostei Elkan, closely related to Dermocystidium percae .Read More
