‘ Candidatus Piscichlamydia salmonis’
This organism has been proposed for the causal agent of epitheliocystis in seawater
reared Atlantic salmon in Ireland and Norway (Draghi et al. 2004 ). Furthermore, the
organism has been identifi ed by RT-DGGE in the majority (16/21) of Atlantic
salmon displaying proliferative gill infl ammation in Norway (Steinum et al. 2009 )
and in epitheliocystis Arctic charr in Canada and the USA (Draghi et al. 2010 ).
‘ Candidatus Renichlamydia lutjani’
Chlamydia-like Gram-negative organisms were seen intracellularly in basophilic
granular inclusions [epitheliocyst-like] in the kidney and spleen of blue-striped
snapper ( Lutjanus kasmira ). Molecular evidence pointed to a new chlamydia, which
is interesting because this is the fi rst demonstration of the group associated with a
disease of the internal organs (Corsaro and Work 2012 ).
‘ Candidatus Similichlamydia latridicola’
The gills of striped trumpeter ( Latris lineata ), which were farmed in Tasmania,
Australia together with wild specimens, were examined histologically, and revealed
the presence of basophilic epitheliocystis-like inclusions. 16S rRNA sequencing
recognized the presence of a novel chlamydia-like organism, for which the name of
‘ Candidatus Similichlamydia latridicola’ was proposed (Stride et al. 2013 ).
‘ Candidatus Syngnamydia venezia’
Broad nosed pipefi sh ( Syngnathus typhle ) with epitheliocystis were recognized to
have a new obligately intracellular chlamydia-like pathogen for which name of
‘ Candidatus Syngnamydia venezia’ was proposed (Fehr et al. 2013 ).
Chlamydiales Representative
A previously unknown chlamydia has been associated with epitheliocystis in a leopard sharp ( Triakis semifasciata ) from an aquarium in Switzerland (Polkinghorne
et al. 2010 ).
