Abstract A description is provided for Loma morhuae, which infects Gadus morhua (fish family Gadidae) off the northern east coast of North America; infections developing in the host cytoplasm (but not in nerve tissues), without diplokarya, and resulting in tumours (also known as 'xenomas') in which the host nucleus is centrally located. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Newfoundland, Nova Scotia))).

Abstract A description is provided for Loma fontinalis, which infects Salvelinus fontinalis (the brook trout, a fish of the family Salmonidae) in east-coast North America; infections developing in the host cytoplasm (but not in nerve tissues), without diplokarya, and resulting in tumours (also known as 'xenomas') in which the host nucleus is centrally located. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Nova Scotia))). No evaluation has been made of any possible positive economic impact of this species (e.g. as a recycler, as a source of useful products, as a provider of checks and balances within its ecosystem, etc.), despite its only known host, S. fontinalis, being an invasive in some parts of the world.

Abstract A description is provided for Loma myrophidis, which infects fish of the family Ophichthidae off the east coast of the Americas; infections developing in the host cytoplasm (but not in nerve tissues), without diplokarya, and resulting in tumours (also known as 'xenomas') in which the host nucleus is centrally located. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (South America (Brazil (Para))).

Abstract A description is provided for Loma dimorpha, which infects fish of the family Blenniidae and Gobiidae in seas off Europe and, possibly, north Africa; infections developing in the host cytoplasm (but not in nerve tissues), without diplokarya, and resulting in tumours (also known as 'xenomas') in which the host nucleus is centrally located. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Europe (France, Spain)).

Abstract A description is provided for Loma diplodi, which infects fish of the family Sparidae in coastal lagoons and inshore waters of Languedoc, France; infections developing in the host cytoplasm (but not in nerve tissues), without diplokarya, and resulting in tumours (also known as 'xenomas') in which the host nucleus is centrally located. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Europe (France)).

Abstract A description is provided for Loma boopsidis, which infects fish of the family Sparidae off the west coast of tropical Africa; infections developing in the host cytoplasm (but not in nerve tissues), without diplokarya, and resulting in tumours (also known as 'xenomas') in which the host nucleus is centrally located. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Senegal)).

Abstract A description is provided for Loma trichiuri, which infects fish of the family Trichiuridae in the Indian and western Pacific Oceans; infections developing in the host cytoplasm (but not in nerve tissues), presumably without diplokarya, and resulting in tumours (also known as 'xenomas') in which the host nucleus is presumed to be centrally located. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Asia (India (Andhra Pradesh))).

Abstract A description is provided for Phacellium episphaerium, a plant parasite, with records on living, dying and dead leaves. This species is known to be found in mixed broadleaf semi-natural woodland, but from the known geographical distribution and the distribution of associated plants. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Morocco), North America (Canada (British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Nunavut), USA (Wisconsin)), Arctic (Svalbard and Jan Mayen), Asia (China, Japan, Russia, Korea Republic, Uzbekistan), Europe (Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia (Leningrad oblast), Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK, former Yugoslavia)) and hosts (Cerastium spp., Stellaria spp. and some other members of the Caryophyllaceae). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.
