Glugeais a genus ofmicrosporidianparasites, predominantly infecting fish.[1] Infections ofGlugeacausexenomaformation.[1]
Currently,Phylogenetic treeof this genus seem unreliable, as not enough evidence is present,[1]therefore species with their common hosts are given in a list:
- G. anomala(syn.G. weissenbergi) – a parasite of thethree-spined sticklebackand theninespine stickleback[1]
- G. atherinae– a parasite of thebig-scale sand smelt[1]
- G. berglax– a parasite of theroughhead grenadier[1]
- G. bychowski– a parasite of theCaspian anadromous shad[1]
- G. capverdensis– a parasite of thespotted lanternfish[1]
- G. heraldi– a parasite of the seahorseHippocampus erectus[1]
- G. hertwigi– a parasite of theEuropean smeltand theRainbow smelt[1][2]
- G. nagelia– a parasite of theyellowfin hind[3]
- G. plecoglossi– a parasite of theayu sweetfish[1]
- G. sardinellensis– a parasite of fish of the genusSardinella[4]
- G. shiplei– a parasite of fish of thepouting[1]
- G. stephani– a parasite ofPleuronectes flesus,thewinter flounder,theEnglish sole,and theCommon dab[1]
- G. vincentiae– a parasite of the Australian marine teleost fish,Vincentia conspersa[5]
- G. truttae– a parasite of thebrown trout[1]
Spraguea lophiihas formerly been described asG. americanus.[1]
Microgemma caulleryithat infects thegreater sand eelwas previously classified asG. caulleryi.[6]
