Myxobolus spinacurvatura is a species of Myxozoa in the family Myxobolidae,[1] that inhabits the Mediterranean Sea and the northwestern Pacific Ocean.[2][3] M. spinacurvatura is a parasitic Cnidarian that infects the Flathead grey mullet, Mugil cephalus.[4] When inside Mugil cephalus, M. spinacurvatura targets mesenteric vessels.[2][4] M. spinacurvatura also often inhabit a single host alongside multiple other parasitic Myxozoans such as M. bizerti, M. ichkeulensis, and M. episquamalis.[2][4]
