“…Ochroconis humicola, which is morphologically characterized by sympodioconidium, arising single-septate conidia and conidiogenous cells with conical denticles, was identified as a pathogen that spreads its hyphae into the internal organs of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch (Ross and Yasutake, 1973), Atlantic salmon Salmo salar (Schaumann and Priebe, 1994), devil stinger Inimicus japonicus (Wada et al, 1995), barramundi cod Cromileptes altivelis (Bowater et al, 2003), red sea bream Pagrus major, marbled rockfish Sebastiscus marmoratus (Wada et al, 2005) and striped jack Pseudocaranx dentex (Munchan et al, 2006). Members of the genus Exophiala, which are morphologically characterized by annelloconidium and a short annellated zone, are also pathogens of marine fish.…”

Novel Exophiala Infection Involving Ulcerative Skin Lesions in Japanese Flounder Paralichthys olivaceus

et al. 2008

ABSTRACT-A dematiaceous fungus was isolated from Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus with ulceration and erosion of the skin surface. The fungus was identified as an Exophiala species, with different morphological, biological and molecular characteristics from three previously described pathogenic Exophiala species. Fungal hyphae extended laterally in the dermis, and were absent from the epidermis and musculature of the skin lesions and kidneys of the diseased fish. An inflammatory response with granuloma occurred in the dermis involving accumulations of epithelioid cells around the hyphae. The granulomas were surrounded by lymphocyte-like cells. Epidermal degeneration was observed above the inflamed dermis, suggesting that the inflammatory response caused epidermal damage. Experimental infection reproduced hyphal extension and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the dermis of the flounder, confirming the pathogenicity of the fungus.

“…An outbreak in fish hatchery of systemic phaeohyphomycosis in Rainbow trout fingerlings (Salmo gairdneri) was reported by Ajello, McGinnis, and Camper (1977) and a muscular black spot in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) by Schaumann and Priebe (1994). Infections in other fish species also occurred, such as deep skin and muscular infections in marine cultured Devil stinger (Inimicus japonicus) (Wada, Nakamura, & Hatai, 1995), and disseminated infections in Barramundi cod (Cromileptes altivelis) (Bowater, Thomas, Shivas, & Humphey, 2003), in cultured…”

Necropsy examination of an adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from the Dalälven River in Sweden revealed numerous large, white nodules, with spherical cysts and granulomata in kidney and liver. Histopathology showed dark, septate, thin‐walled hyphae. The aetiologic agent was found to be an Ochroconis species (Venturiales) that differed from known fish‐associated species of the genus. Molecular phylogenetic studies of the culture (strain UIII09 = CBS 135766) demonstrated that Ochroconis globalis was concerned. The isolate proved to be susceptible to all investigated antifungals, as it is known for another Ochroconis species. The role of Ochroconis in opportunism of cold‐blooded animals was discussed, and the diagnostic methods using DNA sequences for routine identification of the fungus were proposed.

“…Fungal infection was suspected. Fungal diseases of various animals including reptiles, amphibians and marine fishes have been described by many investigators (Bowater et al, 2003;Paré, 2003;Schumacher, 2003;Yanong, 2003); however, there are few studies examining the causal pathogens of diseases in Chinese soft-shelled turtles in culture farms.…”

White-spot disease of Chinese soft-shelled turtles (Trionyx sinens) caused by Paecilomyces lilacinus

Chinese soft-shelled turtles (Trionyx sinens) in culture farms using an artificial warming system in Zhejiang, China, often show typical signs of white-spot disease such as white spots on their bodies, skin lesions, anorexia and eventually death. The sick turtles were mostly 5~80 g in weight. A suspected fungal pathogen was isolated from the sick turtles and verified as Paecilomyces lilacinus by sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of its ribosomal DNA (rDNA). Detailed morphological examinations were also conducted to confirm the white-spot disease.
