Myxobolus hungaricus forms relatively large plasmodia on the gills of bream (Abramis brama). This species is redescribed on the basis of spores collected from the type locality (Lake Balaton, Hungary). Plasmodia are present in the spring and are located in the central part of the gill filaments, where they develop in the lumen of capillaries of the secondary lamellae. The spores have a characteristic shape with ridges running parallel to the sutural line on both sides. Plasmodia of M. hungaricus were also found on the gills of bream from the river Danube in Hungary. In Lake Balaton the overall prevalence of infection was 3.1% but peaked in spring at 12.6%.
