[New Data on Parasite Fauna of the Chinese Sleeper Perccottus Glenii (Actinopterygii: Odontobutidae) in Primorsky Territory with the Description of a New Myxozoan Species from the Genus Myxidium (Myxozoa: Myxidiidae)]

Examination of 116 individuals of Perccottus glenii from water bodies of Primorsky Territory of Russia (the Khanka Lake basin and the Peter the Great Bay basin) revealed the presence of 35 species/taxa of parasites. We give a description of a new species, Myxidium shedkoae sp. nov. Spherical plasmodoa of M. shedkoa sp. nov. are located in the gall bladder; spores are fusiform, with protrusive, pointed, or truncated-cone-shaped poles. The length of spores constitutes 12.6-14.9 (13.4) microm; width, 7.1-8.6 (7.9) microm; shell valves possess 8-10 ridges forming "papillary" pattern. Drawings and descriptions of parasites species poorly studied and recorded from Russia for the first time are given together with drawings and descriptions of some parasites determined only as genera: Triangula perccotti, Gyrodactylus sp., Phyllodistomum sp., Paracoenogonimus ussuriensis (metacercaria), Cyathocotylidae gen. sp. (metacercaria) and Spiroxys japonicus (third-stage juvenile). Parasite fauna of P. glenii in Primorsky Territory comprises 66% of species/forms known for P. glenii in the native part of its range.
