Draft macronuclear genome sequence of the marine ciliate Miamiensis avidus causing flatfish scuticociliatosis

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Scuticociliatosis is a severe and challenging protozoal disease affecting farmed flatfish and crustaceans. This draft genome assembly of the macronuclear (MAC) genome of Miamiensis avidus , a scuticociliate parasite, will be valuable for understanding the somatic functions, physiology, and pathology of scuticociliates in aquaculture worldwide.
