Based on ultrastructural study and molecular analysis, a new genus, Ovipleistophora, is established for Pleistophora mirandellae-like microsporidia from roach and ruff oocytes. Unlike Pleistophora, Ovipleistophora has a thick additional envelope around the meront. Small subunit ribosomal DNA analysis supports the establishment of the new genus and assignment of P. mirandellae from 2 different fish hosts to the same species. The same small subunit ribosomal DNA analysis lends support for transferring P. ovariae into the genus Ovipleistophora.
