Bioaccumulation of trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole and N-acetyl-sulfamethoxazole in Artemia nauplii and residual kinetics in seabass larvae after repeated oral dosing of medicated nauplii

Upregulation in response to infection and antibacterial activity of oyster histone H4

“…An approach to bacterial reduction of Vibrio load in Artemia spp. is the use of antibiotic microcapsules, however this is expensive and could lead to the problem of bacterial resistance [50,51]. Another alternative is the use of yeasts expression systems to deliver novel antimicrobial therapeutants.…”

Treatment of vibriosis in European sea bass larvae, Dicentrarchus labrax L., with oxolinic acid administered by bath or through medicated nauplii of Artemia franciscana (Kellogg): efficacy and residual kinetics

“…The use of Artemia , as a carrier of substances to fish that feed on it, has gained increasing interest, and Artemia nauplii have been extensively used for the delivery of nutrients (Sorgeloos, Dhert & Candreva 2001) or chemotherapeutics such as sulphonamides (Verpaert et al. 1992; Touraki et al. 1999), erythromycin (Majack et al.…”

“…In this method, Artemia nauplii are used as a vehicle for the delivery of antibiotics, and the technique has proven quite effective for the administration of potentiated sulphonamides (Mohney, Lightner & Williams 1990; Chair et al. 1996; Touraki, Niopas & Kastritsis 1999), oxytetracycline and enrofloxacin (Roque, Turnbull & Gomez‐Gil 1998; Gomez‐Gil et al. 2001), erythromycin (Majack et al.…”

Alternative Biotest on Artemia franciscana

“…From the organic substances have been tested: organic solvents (Barahona-Gomariz et al, 1994), acrylonitrile (Tong et al, 1996), antifouling agents (Okamura et al, 2000), oil dispersants (Zillioux, et al, 1973), phorbol esters (Kinghorn et al, 1977), phthalates (Van Wezel, et al, 2000), carbamates (Barahona & Sánchez-Fortún, 1998), atropine (Barahona & Sánchez-Fortún, 1998), anesthetics (Robinson et al, 1965), antihelmintics (Oliveira-Filho & Paumgartten, 2000), herbicides, insecticides, pesticides (Varó et al, 1997, mycotoxins (Schmidt, 1985;Panigrahi, 1993;Hlywka et al, 1997), pharmaceuticals (Touraki et al, 1999, Parra et al, 2001, pollutants (Knulst & Sodergren, 1994), opiates (Richter & Goldstein, 1970), various plant extracts (Cáceres et al, 1998), or toxins (Granade et al 1976;Vezie et al, 1996;Beattie et al, 2003). The tests on the genus Artemia have also been used to specify biological effects of some physical factors, such as ionizing radiation (Grosch & Erdman, 1955;Easter & Hutchinson, 1961), radionuclides (Boroughs et al, 1958), or UV (Dattilo et al, 2005).…”
