  abstract = {{A} recent threat to {E}uropean fish diversity was attributed to the association between an intracellular parasite, {S}phaerothecum destruens, and a healthy freshwater fish carrier, the invasive {P}seudorasbora parva originating from {C}hina. {T}he pathogen was found to be responsible for the decline and local extinction of the {E}uropean endangered cyprinid {L}eucaspius delineatus and high mortalities in stocks of {C}hinook and {A}tlantic salmon in the {USA}. {H}ere, we show that the emerging {S}. destruens is also a threat to a wider range of freshwater fish than originally suspected such as bream, common carp, and roach. {T}his is a true generalist as an analysis of susceptible hosts shows that {S}. destruens is not limited to a phylogenetically narrow host spectrum. {T}his disease agent is a threat to fish biodiversity as it can amplify within multiple hosts and cause high mortalities.},
