ICES Working Group on Pathology and Diseases in Marine Organisms (WGPDMO). Virginia Institute of Marine Science, 16–20 February 2016. ..................... 18 Page v 1 Introduction The Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) Weymouth is designated as the UK National Reference Laboratory (NRL) for Anisakis. This annual technical report summarises the activities carried out by the NRL between April 2015 and March 2016 according to the requirements of Regulation (EC) No. 882/2004 and as defined in the Service Level Agreement between the Food Standards Agency and Cefas. 2 Updates to website 2.1 Overview The website continues to deliver information on the responsibilities and function of the NRL. During the period covered by this report, the website was migrated to a new server, and has been updated with quality controlled standard operation procedure documents. Further scientific references and other information resources have also been added. A website analytical report was run 21/03/2016. This determined that the NRL website has had 720 visits to date Figure 1 - Website traffic (page views) 1/1/2014 to 21/3/2016Figure 1) from approx. 362 unique users. The sections of the website which experienced the most traffic were the methodology, proficiency testing, references, and contact sections. Although there is only a small level of traffic moving through the website at this time, the report suggests that interested parties are actively searching for advice and techniques related to Anisakis. Figure 1 - Website traffic (page views) 1/1/2014 to 21/3/2016 2.1.1 Website structure Although content and formatting updates have occurred, the website structure has not changed since the previous reporting period (2015). NRL Home o Background o Regulations . Links to regulations relating to Anisakis o Methods . List of methods from EURL o Proficiency testing o References . List of references o Contact NRL 2.1.2 Email enquiries We have received one email enquiry through the Anisakis mailbox during 2015/2016. This related to an enquiry from the Food Safety and Veterinary Institute in Albania regarding proficiency testing for Anisakis. Advice was provided in a timely manner and contact details were provided for the EURLP who organises such proficiency testing. 3 Participation in European Union Reference Laboratory for Parasites (EURLP) proficiency test scheme (2015 and 2016) 3.1 Completion of 2015 EURLP proficiency test Due to a breakdown in communication with the Union Reference Laboratory for Parasites (EURLP), we were not informed of the 2015 Proficiency Test until after the samples had been sent to participating laboratories. However, following contact with the EURLP director the error was acknowledged and we were included on their ‘Corrective Action’ proficiency test normally offered to those laboratories which had failed the first round. Fillet samples were received on the 15th April 2015 and screened using compression and the ultraviolet transillumination system following internal SOP NRL001. Our results were reported to the EURLP shortly afterwards. We are pleased to report successful completion of the exercise with a score of 100%. 3.2 Completion of 2016 EURLP proficiency test Samples for the 2016 Proficiency Test were received 14th March 2016 and screened using the ultraviolet transillumination system following internal SOP NRL001. Our results were returned to the EURLP 17th March 2016. We received our PT report from the EURLP 29th March and are delighted to confirm successful completion of the exercise with a score of 100% (see annex). 4 Reference material 4.1 Maintenance of tissue bank We are maintaining the Anisakis ‘tissue bank’ on-site. This contains a substantial number of frozen parasites removed from Plaice, Haddock and Mackerel sampled at two recognised sites (St. Bees and Celtic Deep) within the geographical region of the Irish Sea. Although not identified to their species at this time, these samples are available for use in gross (fillet) screening proficiency testing or training programmes. In addition to this material, we have screened a small number of samples of a deep-sea fish species – Aphanopus carbo – caught during a research cruise. Although the material has been held in long term frozen storage a very large number of well-preserved Anisakidae worms were found to be present

  • Notophthalmus Viridescens) by a New Species of Amphibiocystidium, a Genus of Fungus-Like Mesomycetozoan Parasites Not Previously Reported in North America
    203 Widespread infection of the Eastern red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) by a new species of Amphibiocystidium, a genus of fungus-like mesomycetozoan parasites not previously reported in North America T. R. RAFFEL1,2*, T. BOMMARITO 3, D. S. BARRY4, S. M. WITIAK5 and L. A. SHACKELTON1 1 Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics, Biology Department, Penn State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA 2 Department of Biology, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33620, USA 3 Cooperative Wildlife Research Lab, Department of Zoology, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL 62901, USA 4 Department of Biological Sciences, Marshall University, Huntington, WV 25755, USA 5 Department of Plant Pathology, Penn State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA (Received 21 March 2007; revised 17 August 2007; accepted 20 August 2007; first published online 12 October 2007) SUMMARY Given the worldwide decline of amphibian populations due to emerging infectious diseases, it is imperative that we identify and address the causative agents. Many of the pathogens recently implicated in amphibian mortality and morbidity have been fungal or members of a poorly understood group of fungus-like protists, the mesomycetozoans. One mesomycetozoan, Amphibiocystidium ranae, is known to infect several European amphibian species and was associated with a recent decline of frogs in Italy. Here we present the first report of an Amphibiocystidium sp. in a North American amphibian, the Eastern red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens), and characterize it as the new species A. viridescens in the order Dermocystida based on morphological, geographical and phylogenetic evidence. We also describe the widespread and seasonal distribution of this parasite in red-spotted newt populations and provide evidence of mortality due to infection.

  • Comparative Proteomic Profiling of Newly Acquired, Virulent And
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Comparative proteomic profling of newly acquired, virulent and attenuated Neoparamoeba perurans proteins associated with amoebic gill disease Kerrie Ní Dhufaigh1*, Eugene Dillon2, Natasha Botwright3, Anita Talbot1, Ian O’Connor1, Eugene MacCarthy1 & Orla Slattery4 The causative agent of amoebic gill disease, Neoparamoeba perurans is reported to lose virulence during prolonged in vitro maintenance. In this study, the impact of prolonged culture on N. perurans virulence and its proteome was investigated. Two isolates, attenuated and virulent, had their virulence assessed in an experimental trial using Atlantic salmon smolts and their bacterial community composition was evaluated by 16S rRNA Illumina MiSeq sequencing. Soluble proteins were isolated from three isolates: a newly acquired, virulent and attenuated N. perurans culture. Proteins were analysed using two-dimensional electrophoresis coupled with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). The challenge trial using naïve smolts confrmed a loss in virulence in the attenuated N. perurans culture. A greater diversity of bacterial communities was found in the microbiome of the virulent isolate in contrast to a reduction in microbial community richness in the attenuated microbiome. A collated proteome database of N. perurans, Amoebozoa and four bacterial genera resulted in 24 proteins diferentially expressed between the three cultures. The present LC–MS/ MS results indicate protein synthesis, oxidative stress and immunomodulation are upregulated in a newly acquired N. perurans culture and future studies may exploit these protein identifcations for therapeutic purposes in infected farmed fsh. Neoparamoeba perurans is an ectoparasitic protozoan responsible for the hyperplastic gill infection of marine cultured fnfsh referred to as amoebic gill disease (AGD)1.

  • Common Diseases of Wild and Cultured Fishes in Alaska
    COMMON DISEASES OF WILD AND CULTURED FISHES IN ALASKA Theodore Meyers, Tamara Burton, Collette Bentz and Norman Starkey July 2008 Alaska Department of Fish and Game Fish Pathology Laboratories The Alaska Department of Fish and Game printed this publication at a cost of $12.03 in Anchorage, Alaska, USA. 3 About This Booklet This booklet is a product of the Ichthyophonus Diagnostics, Educational and Outreach Program which was initiated and funded by the Yukon River Panel’s Restoration and Enhancement fund and facilitated by the Yukon River Drainage Fisheries Association in conjunction with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The original impetus driving the production of this booklet was from a concern that Yukon River fishers were discarding Canadian-origin Chinook salmon believed to be infected by Ichthyophonus. It was decided to develop an educational program that included the creation of a booklet containing photographs and descriptions of frequently encountered parasites within Yukon River fish. This booklet is to serve as a brief illustrated guide that lists many of the common parasitic, infectious, and noninfectious diseases of wild and cultured fish encountered in Alaska. The content is directed towards lay users, as well as fish culturists at aquaculture facilities and field biologists and is not a comprehensive treatise nor should it be considered a scientific document. Interested users of this guide are directed to the listed fish disease references for additional information. Information contained within this booklet is published from the laboratory records of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Fish Pathology Section that has regulatory oversight of finfish health in the State of Alaska.

  • Shellfish Diseases and Their Management in Commercial Recirculating Systems
    Shellfish Diseases and Their Management in Commercial Recirculating Systems Ralph Elston AquaTechnics & Pacific Shellfish Institute PO Box 687 Carlsborg, WA 98324 Introduction Intensive culture of early life stages of bivalve shellfish culture has been practiced since at least the late 1950’s on an experimental basis. Production scale culture emerged in the 1970’s and today, hathcheries and nurseries produce large numbers of a variety of species of oysters, clams and scallops. The early life stage systems may be entirely or partially recirculating or static. Management of infectious diseases in these systems has been a challenge since their inception and effective health management is a requisite to successful culture. The diseases which affect early life stage shellfish in intensive production systems and the principles and practice of health management are the subject of this presentation. Shellfish Diseases and Management Diseases of bivalve shellfish affecting those reared or harvested from extensive culture primarily consist of parasitic infections and generally comprise the reportable or certifiable diseases. Due to the extensive nature of such culture, intervention options or disease control are limited. In contrast, infectious diseases known from early life stages in intensive culture systems tend to be opportunistic in nature and offer substantial opportunity for management due to the control that can be exerted at key points in the systems. In marine shellfish hatcheries, infectious organisms can enter the system from three sources: brood stock, seawater source and algal food source. Once an organism is established in the system, it may persist without further introduction. Bacterial infections are the most common opportunistic infection in shellfish hatcheries.
