Genus: | Glugea |
Glugea is a genus of microsporidian parasites, predominantly infecting fish. [1] Infections of Glugea cause xenoma formation. [1]
Currently, Phylogenetic tree of this genus seem unreliable, as not enough evidence is present, [1] therefore species with their common hosts are given in a list:
Spraguea lophii has formerly been described as G. americanus.
