The aim of this study was to check the occurrence of actinosporean stages of Myxozoan parasites of oligochaetes in the Nera River basin (Central Italy). The investigation was conducted near twelve trout farms (rainbow and brown trout) along the Nera River and in the littoral of the Piediluco Lake. Four actinosporean types, belonging to the collective groups aurantiactinomyxon, triactinomyxon, raabeia and echinactinomyxon, were detected in some of the biotopes investigated (Piediluco Lake and Sordo River). Differential diagnosis, carried out on a sub-sample of spores, showed a complete fitting with forms previously described in literature, with the exception of the triactinomyxon type.
