First Case of ‘Soft Flesh’ Induced by Kudoa thyrsites in an Atlantic Bonito (Sarda sarda)

The article in the Journal of Fish Diseases discusses the first documented case of 'soft flesh' induced by Kudoa thyrsites in an Atlantic bonito caught in the Mediterranean Sea. The study highlights the impact of Kudoa spp. on fish quality and the potential economic losses in the seafood sector. While Kudoa thyrsites is not known to cause foodborne diseases in humans, further research is needed to understand the prevalence of these parasites in commercially important fish species and their potential implications.
