Miamiensis avidus is associated with swimmer syndrome affected Southern bluefin tuna (SBT) ranched off Port Lincoln. Molecular characterisation of scuticociliates obtained from SBT affected by swimmer syndrome identified them as M. avidus. Phylogenetic analyse showed that scuticociliate isolates from SBT forms a clade with M. avidus collected from other teleosts. First time M. avidus reported from Australian waters We did not find any evidence of Uronema spp. being present in infected SBT.
