Table 5 Comparative data for myxospore measurements (mean value and standard deviation (SD) followed by the range in parentheses) of Myxidium sp. and species with fusiform to ellipsoidal shaped. All measurements are in μm. SL spore length, SW spore width, ST spore thickness, PCL polar capsule length, PCW polar capsule width, PFC polar filament coils, SV valvular striations.
