    Abstract A microsporidian parasite infecting the pheasantshell mussel, Actinonaiais pectorosa, was discovered in a freshwater system in the USA. The original description of this species placed it into the holding genus "Microsporidium"; however, the availability of ecological, environmental, histological, electron microscopy, and genetic data, suffice to provide a complete formal taxonomic account of this species. In this note, the genus Knowlespora n. gen. is erected and described to hold the type species: Knowlespora clinchi gen. et comb. nov., originally described as 'Microsporidium clinchi'. A discussion is presented to suggest that this novel species is unlikely to be closely related to other molluscan microsporidians (all of which lack genetic data, to date) and highlights the diversity of oocyte-infecting species across the Microsporidia.

    Abstract The Mininucleoviridae are crustacean-infecting viruses thought to drive mortality across aquatic biomes. Three have been characterised from Carcinus maenas, Panulirus argus, and Dikerogammarus haemobaphes. We screened 202 SRA datasets (NCBI) for novel mininucleoviruses from 44 amphipod species. Three metatranscriptome datasets from Gammarus lacustris contained sequences with similarity to Dikerogammarus haemobaphes mininucleovirus. Assembly resulted in 19 transcripts, 16 were putatively polycistronic. The putative Gammarus lacustris mininucleovirus shares 46 homologues with other mininucleoviruses (similarity range: 24.07 - 78.2 %). The transcripts from this putative virus highlight its likely association with the Mininucleoviridae.

    Abstract Amphipods are a group of globally abundant Crustacea present throughout terrestrial, marine and freshwater ecosystems. These organisms host a highly diverse systematic assemblage of parasites and pathogens, which are closely linked to the host's evolution and ecological niche. Such symbioses have been found to affect the behaviour, physiology and overall health of amphipod hosts; including effects at both the individual and population scale, altering aquatic trophic structure and possibly representing far reaching consequences for fisheries species and predatory species. Amphipod diseases explored in this Special have been linked with biological invasions, systematics, behavioural ecology, ecotoxicology, epidemiology, host physiology and cannibalistic tendencies. These studies exemplify the importance of amphipod research and provide keystone studies for the use of these animals as model systems for understanding the effects of disease in crustacean assemblages.

    Abstract Around 57.1% of microsporidia occupy aquatic environments, excluding a further 25.7% that utilise both terrestrial and aquatic systems. The aquatic microsporidia therefore compose the most diverse elements of the Microsporidia phylum, boasting unique structural features, variable transmission pathways, and significant ecological influence. From deep oceans to tropical rivers, these parasites are present in most aquatic environments and have been shown to infect hosts from across the Protozoa and Animalia. The consequences of infection range from mortality to intricate behavioural change, and their presence in aquatic communities often alters the overall functioning of the ecosystem.In this chapter, we explore aquatic microsporidian diversity from the perspective of aquatic animal health. Examples of microsporidian parasitism of importance to an aquacultural ('One Health') context and ecosystem context are focussed upon. These include infection of commercially important penaeid shrimp by Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei and interesting hyperparasitic microsporidians of wild host groups.Out of ~1500 suggested microsporidian species, 202 have been adequately taxonomically described using a combination of ultrastructural and genetic techniques from aquatic and semi-aquatic hosts. These species are our primary focus, and we suggest that the remaining diversity have additional genetic or morphological data collected to formalise their underlying systematics.

    Abstract The bay scallop Argopecten irradians supported a commercial fishery in Florida but their population declined and the fishery closed in 1994. A recreational fishery remains open along the west coast of Florida despite continued threats from overfishing and a changing environment. Disease is among those threats, as it is for bivalve fisheries globally. We examined the relationship between bay scallop population density, its symbiotic microbiome, and geographic location. We focused on three sites within the range of Florida's recreational scallop fishery: St. Joseph Bay (northern extent), offshore of the Steinhatchee River (central), and offshore of Hernando County (southern extent). The study was conducted prior to the seasonal opening of the fishery to minimize the impact of fishing on our results. We also sampled caged scallops that are used for restocking in St. Joseph Bay to assess the effect of artificially high density and confinement on the scallop pathobiome. Using a combination of traditional histological methods, molecular diagnostics, and metagenomics, a suite of 15 symbionts were identified. Among them, RNA-seq data revealed four novel + ssRNA viral genomes: three picorna-like viruses and one hepe-like virus. The DNA-seq library revealed a novel Mycoplasma species. Histological evaluation revealed that protozoan, helminth and crustacean infections were common in A. irradians. These potential pathogens add to those already known for A. irradians and underscores the risk they pose to the fishery.

    Abstract Menippe mercenaria, the Florida stone crab, supports an unconventional fishery across the southern USA and Caribbean that involves claw-removal and the return of de-clawed animals to the sea. We provide pathological, ultrastructural, and genomic detail for a novel hepatopancreatic, nucleus-specific virus - Menippe mercenaria nudivirus (MmNV) - isolated from M. mercenaria, captured during fisheries-independent monitoring. The virus has a genome of 99,336 bp and encodes 84 predicted protein coding genes and shows greatest similarity to Aratus pisonii nudivirus (ApNV) (<60% protein similarity and 31 shared genes of greatest similarity), collected from the Florida Keys, USA. MmNV is a member of the Gammanudivirus genus (Naldaviricetes: Lefavirales: Nudiviridae). Comparisons of virus genome size, preferred host environment, and gene number revealed no clear associations between the viral traits and phylogenetic position. Evolution of the virus alongside the diversification of host taxa, with the potential for host-switching, remain more likely evolutionary pathways.
