Sphaerothecum destruens (the rosette agent) is a parasite of fish. It was first discovered in the United States in association with invasive species including topmouth gudgeon, but was found to be the causative agent of a disease in the UK affecting salmonid species such as Atlantic salmon and brown trout. It is thought to pose more of a risk in Europe than in the US, as native species there are more susceptible to the parasite. The disease causes high rates of morbidity and mortality in a number of different salmonid species and can also infect other UK freshwater fish such as bream, carp, and roach. The genus Sphaerothecum is closely related to the genera Dermocystidium and Rhinosporidium.

- Sphaerothecum destruens is een eencellig organisme dat behoort tot de orde . Het is een parasiterende protist op vissen. Hij zou voor het eerst ontdekt zijn in de Verenigde Staten, waar onderzoek werd verricht naar invasieve soorten zoals de blauwband (Pseudorasbora parva). Deze exoot bleek de verspreider van enkele ziekten die vooral zalmachtigen zoals de Atlantische zalm en bruine forel aantasten. Vooral in Europa geeft deze parasiet een probleem, aangezien het voor hoge sterftecijfers zorgt en ook andere vissen zoals de karpers aantast. (nl)
