ABSTRACT
This study outlines a multifactorial disease outbreak in a population of the freshwater shrimp Neocaridina davidi, with the focus on a rarely described parasitic alga. Within this multifactorial disease outbreak, low but consistent mortality was observed. During microscopic examination, an infection of the shrimp with bacterial and fungal-like agents was diagnosed. Furthermore, the green alga Cladogonium sp. was found in pleopodal regions. The alga compromised the body surface of the shrimp, and its rhizoids penetrated the chitin shell and reached into the subcutaneous tissue. This might be a first indication of a parasitic lifestyle. In addition to a morphological description, sequencing data are presented which allow the taxonomic classification of the organism within the order Trentepohliales.
