Abstract
Epitheliocystis was first described by Hoffman et al. (1969) as a benign chronic infection of fishes. In recent years it became evident that epitheliocystis infections in fishes may be very pathogenic and cause severe mortalities to fish in culture, particularly to juvenile fish in nurseries. Epitheliocystis infections are widely distributed and occur in many species of freshwater as well as marine fish.
