The present study aimed to investigate the role of Microsporidian infection in Labeo rohita, a well-known species of fish of the carp family especially found in rivers in South Asia. Fish were collected from different regions of Lucknow and further investigated for presence of microsporidian infection by using standard protocol. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the spore as oval and cylindrical with 5.60 to 8.28 µm size. Changing climatic conditions acting upon the microsporidian sp. also affect spore size. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the ultra-structural characteristics of the microsporidia, however, the species identification is only possible with the help of molecular techniques. Data of our current findings propose that microsporidian parasite has a crucial role in the pathogenesis of host. Thus, the results of the present research open up new approaches for better understanding the role of microsporidia in fish infection. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the specific findings related to species and identify mechanism of parasitic induced infection.

This study describes a new genus and species of microsporidia which is a pathogen of the elm leaf beetle, Xanthogaleruca luteola Muller, 1776 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). The beetles were collected from Istanbul in Turkey. All developmental stages are uninucleate and in direct contact with the host cell cytoplasm. Giemsa-stained mature spores are oval in shape and measured 3.40 ± 0.37 μm in length and 1.63 ± 0.20 μm in width. These uninucleate spores have an isofilar polar filament with 11 turns. The spore wall was trilaminar (75 to 115 nm) with a rugose, electron-dense exospore (34 to 45 nm) and a thickened, electron-lucent endospore (65 to 80 nm) overlaying the plasmalemma. Morphological, ultrastructural, and molecular features indicate that the described microsporidium is dissimilar to all known microsporidian taxa and confirm that it has different taxonomic characters than other microsporidia infecting X. luteola and is named here as Rugispora istanbulensis n. gen., n. sp.
