    DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Published July 30 Dis Aquat Org Oral pharmacological treatments for parasitic diseases of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. 11: Gyrodactylus sp. J. L. Tojo*, M. T. Santamarina Department of Microbiology and Parasitology, Laboratory of Parasitology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, E-15706 Santiago de Compostela, Spain ABSTRACT: A total of 24 drugs were evaluated as regards their efficacy for oral treatment of gyro- dactylosis in rainbow trout Oncorhj~nchusmykiss. In preliminary trials, all drugs were supplied to infected fish at 40 g per kg of feed for 10 d. Twenty-two of the drugs tested (aminosidine, amprolium, benznidazole, b~thionol,chloroquine, diethylcarbamazine, flubendazole, levamisole, mebendazole, n~etronidazole,mclosamide, nitroxynil, oxibendazole, parbendazole, piperazine, praziquantel, roni- dazole, secnidazole, tetramisole, thiophanate, toltrazuril and trichlorfon) were ineffective Triclabenda- zole and nitroscanate completely eliminated the infection. Triclabendazole was effective only at the screening dosage (40 g per kg of feed for 10 d), while nitroscanate was effective at dosages as low as 0.6 g per kg of feed for 1 d.

  • Distribution and Coinfection of Microparasites and Macroparasites in Juvenile Salmonids in Three Upper Willamette River Tributaries
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Sean Robert Roon for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology presented on December 9, 2014. Title: Distribution and Coinfection of Microparasites and Macroparasites in Juvenile Salmonids in Three Upper Willamette River Tributaries. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Jerri L. Bartholomew Wild fish populations are typically infected with a variety of micro- and macroparasites that may affect fitness and survival, however, there is little published information on parasite distribution in wild juvenile salmonids in three upper tributaries of the Willamette River, OR. The objectives of this survey were to document (1) the distribution of select microparasites in wild salmonids and (2) the prevalence, geographical distribution, and community composition of metazoan parasites infecting these fish. From 2011-2013, I surveyed 279 Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha and 149 rainbow trout O. mykiss for one viral (IHNV) and four bacterial (Aeromonas salmonicida, Flavobacterium columnare, Flavobacterium psychrophilum, and Renibacterium salmoninarum) microparasites known to cause mortality of fish in Willamette River hatcheries. The only microparasite detected was Renibacterium salmoninarum, causative agent of bacterial kidney disease, which was detected at all three sites. I identified 23 metazoan parasite taxa in these fish. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling of metazoan parasite communities reflected a nested structure with trematode metacercariae being the basal parasite taxa at all three sites. The freshwater trematode Nanophyetus salmincola was the most common macroparasite observed at three sites. Metacercariae of N. salmincola have been shown to impair immune function and disease resistance in saltwater. To investigate if N. salmincola affects disease susceptibility in freshwater, I conducted a series of disease challenges to evaluate whether encysted N.

Sars gate 1, N-0562 Oslo 5, Norway 2Department of Biochemistry, 4W.University of Bath, Claverton Down, Bath BA2 7AY, UK 3Norwegian Institute for Nature Research, Tungasletta 2, N-7004 Trondheim. Norway ABSTRACT: Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 is an important pathogen in Norwegian populations of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar. It can infect a wide range of salmonid host species, but on most the infections are probably ultimately lim~tedby a host response. Generally, on Norwegian salmon stocks, infections grow unchecked until the host dies. On a Baltic salmon stock, originally from the Neva River, a host reaction is mounted, limltlng parasite population growth on those fishes initially susceptible. Among rainbow trouts Oncorhynchus mykiss from the sam.e stock and among full sib anadromous arctic char Salvelinus alpjnus, both naturally resistant and susceptible individuals later mounting a host response can be observed. This is in contrast to an anadromous stock of brown trout Salmo trutta where only innately resistant individuals were found. A general feature of salmonid infections is the considerable variation of susceptibility between individual fish of the same stock, which appears genetic in origin. The parasite seems to be generally unable to reproduce on non-salmonids, and on cyprinids, individual behavioural mechanisms of the parasite may prevent infection. Transmission occurs directly through host contact, and by detached gyrodactylids and also from dead fishes.

Risk analysis ii Abstract The expansion of the South African aquaculture industry coupled with the lack of effective parasite management strategies may potentially have negative effects on both the freshwater biodiversity and economics of the aquaculture sector. Koi and goldfish are notorious for the propagation of parasites worldwide, some of which have already infected indigenous fish in South Africa. Koi and goldfish have been released into rivers in South Africa since the 1800’s for food and sport fish and have since spread extensively. These fish are present in most of the river systems in South Africa and pose an additional threat the indigenous cyprinids in the Western Cape.

  • Infections with Gyrodactylus Spp. (Monogenea)
    Hansen et al. Parasites & Vectors (2016) 9:444 DOI 10.1186/s13071-016-1727-7 RESEARCH Open Access Infections with Gyrodactylus spp. (Monogenea) in Romanian fish farms: Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 extends its range Haakon Hansen1*,Călin-Decebal Cojocaru2 and Tor Atle Mo1 Abstract Background: The salmon parasite Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 has caused high mortalities in many Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, populations, mainly in Norway. The parasite is also present in several countries across mainland Europe, principally on rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, where infections do not seem to result in mortalities. There are still European countries where there are potential salmonid hosts for G. salaris but where the occurrence of G. salaris is unknown, mainly due to lack of investigations and surveillance. Gyrodactylus salaris is frequently present on rainbow trout in low numbers and pose a risk of infection to local salmonid populations if these fish are subsequently translocated to new localities. Methods: Farmed rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (n = 340), brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis (n = 186), and brown trout, Salmo trutta (n = 7), and wild brown trout (n = 10) from one river in Romania were sampled in 2008 and examined for the presence of Gyrodactylus spp. Alltogether 187 specimens of Gyrodactylus spp. were recovered from the fish. A subsample of 76 specimens representing the different fish species and localities were subjected to species identification and genetic characterization through sequencing of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1). Results: Two species of Gyrodactylus were found, G. salaris and G. truttae Gläser, 1974.

  • Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss)
    Acta vet. scand. 1995, 36, 299-318. A Checklist of Metazoan Parasites from Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) By K. Buchmann, A. Uldal and H. C. K. Lyholt Department of Veterinary Microbiology, Section of Fish Diseases, The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural Uni­ versity, Frederiksberg, Denmark. Buchmann, K., A. Uldal and H. Lyholt: A checklist of metazoan parasites from rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Acta vet. scand. 1995, 36, 299-318. - An extensive litera­ ture survey on metazoan parasites from rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss has been conducted. The taxa Monogenea, Cestoda, Digenea, Nematoda, Acanthocephala, Crustacea and Hirudinea are covered. A total of 169 taxonomic entities are recorded in rainbow trout worldwide although few of these may prove synonyms in future anal­ yses of the parasite specimens. These records include Monogenea (15), Cestoda (27), Digenea (37), Nematoda (39), Acanthocephala (23), Crustacea (17), Mollusca (6) and Hirudinea ( 5). The large number of parasites in this salmonid reflects its cosmopolitan distribution. helminths; Monogenea; Digenea; Cestoda; Acanthocephala; Nematoda; Hirudinea; Crustacea; Mollusca.

  • Surveillance of Fish Diseases in the Nordic Countries
    Acta vet. scand. 2001, Suppl. 94, 43-50. Surveillance of Fish Diseases in the Nordic Countries By T. Håstein1, A. Hellstrøm2, G. Jonsson3, N. J. Olesen4, E. R.-Pärnänen5 1National Veterinary Institute, P.O.Box 8156 DEP, 0033 Oslo, Norway, 2National Veterinary Institute, P.O.Box 7073, SE-75007 Uppsala, Sweden, 3Veterinary Officer for Fish Diseases, Keldur, Vesturlandsveg, IS-112, Reyk- javik, Iceland, 4Danish Veterinary Laboratory, Aarhus, Denmark, 5National Veterinary and Food Research Insti- tute (EELA), P. O. Box 368, Fin-00231 Helsinki, Finland. Due to the increasing importance of disease problems in the fish farming industry and the impact disease may have on both feral and farmed fish in the Nordic countries, mon- itoring and surveillance on diseases have for many years been considered to be of socio- economic importance. All the Nordic countries have a national legislation as basis for their surveillance and disease control in aquatic animals and regulations listing notifi- able diseases of concern to the countries. The list of diseases vary between the countries. In addition, Denmark, Finland and Sweden are ruled by Directive 91/67/EEC as regards placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products. The surveillance for viral diseases in all the Nordic countries has mainly been based on the testing procedures given in the EU Commission Decision 96/240/EC. The list of diseases to be monitored or surveyed Gyrodactylus salaris for wild stocks of Atlantic for varies between the Nordic countries. All the salmon, a surveillance programme for this par- Nordic countries run a surveillance programme asite is under consideration in Norway, while in for Viral Haemorrhagic Septicaemia (VHS) Finland regular monitoring for the parasite and Infectious Haematopoietic Necrosis (IHN) takes place in certain regions recognised to be based on EU regulations and a monitoring pro- free of the parasite in order to obtain additional gramme for Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis guarantees within the EU.
