Freshwater species of the genus Hoferellus are parasites of the excretory system, with several members infecting food and ornamental fish species, as well as amphibians. This study aims to increase our understanding of their molecular diversity and development, aspects about which little is known, and to generate a molecular diagnostic tool to discriminate between different pathogenic and non-pathogenic Hoferellus spp %K Amphibia %K Anura %K fish %K Carassius %K Cyprinus carpio %K ITS cloning %K Mode of attachment %K Teleostei %K Ultrastructure %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4709930/
