However, the taxonomy of microsporidia is generally poorly resolved, which has consequently constrained our understanding of their pathology and epidemiology in marine animals. To date, microsporidia have been reported in both bivalves and gastropods, and microsporidia from mollusks have been classified in different genera. Despite ongoing work to better describe these genera, including detailed microscopic and ultrastructural images, so far we lack information on microsporidian phylogeny and pathogenicity of species within these genera. Here we investigate the microsporidian parasite <em>Steinhausia mytilovum</em> associated with the mussel, <em>Mytilus galloprovincialis</em>, in natural beds and farms along coast of southern Italy. A survey of <em>M. galloprovincialis</em> was conducted in 13 mussel farms and one natural bed between 2009 and 2020. We found the presence of <em>S. mytilovum</em><span> in 10 of the investigated farms, with a prevalence ranging between 14 and 100% of female mussels, depending on the population and season in which they were sampled. The parasite developed in the <a href=\"/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/gametocyte\" title=\"Learn more about oocytes from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages\" class=\"topic-link\">oocytes</a> within a sporophorous vesicle (SV) where it produced 1–3 spores per cell, both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. </span><em>Stenhausia mytilovum</em> elicited an infiltrative (24.8%) or a strong capsular inflammatory response (43.4%) at gonadal follicles and surrounding vesicular connective tissue, in some cases accompanied by gonadal atresia (24.8%), leading to loss of gonadal architecture. In 7% of cases no reaction was observed. Ultrastructural observations revealed a mitochondrial re-organization to interact with all the phases of parasite development; the mitochondria were arranged outside the parasitophorous vesicle (PV) or directly interacting with the spore inside vesicle. There are five taxonomic clades of microsporidians as identified by SSU ribosomal gene sequence data. Maximum likelihood analysis assigned <em>S. mytilovum</em> within the Clade IV, defined as the Class Terresporidia, with closest genetic relationship (83.6% identity) to an undetermined invertebrate ovarian microsporidian. The constant presence, prevalence, and severity of <em>S. mytilovum</em> in coastline populations of <em>M. galloprovincialis</em> populations in southern Italy may indirectly reflect immunocompetence at both individual and population levels.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Pathology, epidemiology, and phylogeny of mussel egg disease due to the microsporidian <i>Steinhausia mytilovum</i> (Field, 1924) in the Mediterranean mussel (<i>Mytilus galloprovincialis</i>)","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-05 01:31:31.629289","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2023,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2023-05-04","DateCreate":"2023-05-04","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000990436200001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1016/j.jip.2023.107927"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":363999,"PubliDate":2023,"Pagination":"107927","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"198","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43073,"SerRR":"Journal of Invertebrate Pathology.
