In this study, we first report on the occurrence ofUrosporidiumsp., a haplosporidian hyperparasite infecting the trematode,Parvatrema duboisi, which parasitizes Manila clams,Ruditapes philippinarumon the west and south coasts of Korea. The larvalP. duboisiinfected by the sporocyst stage ofUrosporidiumsp.demonstrated numerous small yellowish spores in their tissues. The heavily infected metacercariae exhibited degenerate bodies and the larvae were often motionless. Clams heavily infected by the metacercariae ofP. duboisialso displayed abnormal golden spots on the mantle tissue. In histology, different life stages ofUrosporidiumsp. could be identified, including the uni-nucleate, plasmodial, sporogonic stages and the acid fast mature spores released from the cyst. In scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the mature spore exhibited a semi-circular rim around the apical end and the orifice was covered internally with a flap. Loop-like filaments ornamentation was also identified fromUrosporidiumsp. in SEM, suggesting thatUrosporidiumsp. found in this study is a new member in the genus. Prevalence ofUrosporidiumsp.-infected trematodes in this study ranged from 2.5% to 24.0% in April 2010 and the infection was observed from 8 sampling sites out of the 26 sites surveyed on the west and south coasts.
