“…These organisms exhibit characteristics of both eukaryotes (presence of a nucleus) and prokaryotes (typical ribosomal units), but are included in the Fungi due to their molecular traits (Matos et al 2003). They parasitize organisms of a number of different taxonomic groups, in particular animals, including humans (Polonais et al 2010, Ghosh et al 2006, Brasil et al 1997) and insects (Matos et al 2006).…”

A total of 40 specimens of the teleost fish Gobioides grahamae Palmer & Wheeler, 1955 were obtained from the municipality of Salvaterra on Marajó Island in the Brazilian state of Pará. Their livers were removed and processed for light microscopy. Overall, 90% of the specimens presented some degree of steatosis of the liver, which was invariably associated with the presence of Microsporidium sp. The present study confirms the occurrence of steatosis in G. grahamae associated with parasitic infections by Microsporidium. The findings indicate that the condition of otherwise healthy fishes in their natural environment may be affected negatively by parasites.
