Immunological staining with rabbit antibodies raised against Sphaerospora testicularis and Ceratomyxa labracis was used to characterise their specificity and their reactivity towards other fish parasites. Polar capsules and valves of S. testicularis and C. labracis were labelled with their homologous antibody and cross reaction was observed with all the myxosporean parasites assayed from marine and freshwater fish hosts. All polar capsules were stained with both antibodies, except those of Zschokkella mugilis, which were not labelled with anti-S. testicularis serum. These observations suggest that polar capsules may be very conserved structures in myxosporean parasites from different hosts.
