title: Biological Diversity and Parasitological Peculiarities of Myxosporea (Cnidaria, Myxozoa) Infecting Merluccius Merluccius (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Sea of Marmara
abstract: This study presents the second global record of Pseudalataspora vanderlingeni since its original description, representing the first report of both the species and the genus Pseudalataspora in Turkish waters. Additionally, a new Ceratomyxa taxon from the same region in Turkish waters was also documented. Together with the previous reports, the results in this study suggest that P. vanderlingeni is a common myxozoan parasite of Merluccius species along the southern Atlantic coasts of Africa, with
