Glugea is a genus of microsporidian parasites, predominantly infecting fish.[1] Infections of Glugea cause xenoma formation. [1]

Currently, Phylogenetic tree of this genus seem unreliable, as not enough evidence is present, [1] therefore species with their common hosts are given in a list:
- G. anomala (syn. G. weissenbergi) – a parasite of the three-spined stickleback and the ninespine stickleback[1]
- G. atherinae – a parasite of the big-scale sand smelt[1]
- G. berglax – a parasite of the roughhead grenadier[1]
- G. bychowski – a parasite of the Caspian anadromous shad[1]
- G. capverdensis – a parasite of the spotted lanternfish[1]
- G. heraldi – a parasite of the seahorse Hippocampus erectus[1]
- G. hertwigi – a parasite of the European smelt and the Rainbow smelt[1][2]
- G. nagelia – a parasite of the yellowfin hind[3]
- G. plecoglossi – a parasite of the ayu sweetfish[1]
- G. sardinellensis – a parasite of fish of the genus Sardinella[4]
- G. shiplei – a parasite of fish of the pouting[1]
- G. stephani – a parasite of Pleuronectes flesus, the winter flounder, the English sole, and the Common dab[1]
- G. vincentiae – a parasite of the Australian marine teleost fish, Vincentia conspersa[5]
- G. truttae – a parasite of the brown trout[1]
Spraguea lophii has formerly been described as G. americanus.[1]
Microgemma caulleryi that infects the greater sand eel was previously classified as G. caulleryi.[6]
