ABSTRACT:
Compositions, methods and kits directed to detection of the myxozoan parasite Myxobolus spp., for example, M. cerebralis. The method comprises contacting an aquatic sample with a nucleic acid comprising a nucleic acid segment capable of selectively hybridizing to the 18S ribosomal nucleic acids of Myxobolus cerebralis to form a hybridization complex. Detection of the hybridization complexes indicates the presence of Myxobolus cerebralis in the sample.
