Striped trumpeter, Latris lineata, are being experimentally cultured by the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute at Taroona, Tasmania. Fish surviving over 30 days post-hatching have frequently developed nervous aberrations associated with a severe granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis. The myxozoan parasite Pentacapsula neurophila sp.n. was revealed as the parasite causing the disease in the striped trumpeter juveniles. Measurements made of isolated spores indicated that the organism was distinct from all previously described Pentacapsula species. This is the first report of a marine myxozoan parasite of the genus Pentacapsula in Australian waters.

Pokus o intenzivní chov Latris lineata byl realizován v “Tasmania Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute“. 30 dnů po vykulení se u ryb objevovaly nervové příznaky vyvolané těžkou granulomatózní meningoencefalitidou. Byl objeven původce změn a na základě srovnávacího studia popsán jako nový druh myxosporidie, Pentacapsula neurophila. Jde o první druh tohoto rodu popsaný z Australie.
