PCR amplification of myxosporean 18S rRNA gene from one infected gall bladder from sample (3) above generated a product of approximately 1700 nucleotides in both of the samples processed from the individual fish in question. Forward and reverse sequences were obtained for each purified product. All sequences were identical. Seven polymorphic positions were observed.
