“…Viral pathogen is the major causative agent in cultured grouper industry worldwide (Harikrishnan et al, 2011). Among them, VNNV and some kinds of piscine iridoviruses are the most alarming causative agents in juvenile grouper breeding because of the considerable damage they inflict to groupers Whittington et al, 2010).…”

“…Possible strategies for the control of turbot scuticociliatosis necessarily include erradication from the external environment and destruction of the endoparasitic stage of the parasite (Leiro et al 2004). The elimination of scuticociliates from water is feasible, via the application of chemical disinfectants such as formalin and hydrogen peroxide (Iglesias et al 2002;Paramá et al 2003;Budiño et al 2012;Harikrishnan et al 2010;Jin et al 2010); however, at present there are no drugs available to treat systemic infections in fish. There are also numerous legal restrictions regarding the use of drugs in fish in relation to food safety and environmental impacts (Hedley and Huntington, 2009).…”

Philasterides dicentrarchi causes a severe disease in turbot, and at present there are no drugs available to treat infected fish. We have previously demonstrated that, in addition to the classical respiratory pathway, P. dicentrarchi possesses an alternative mitochondrial respiratory pathway that is cyanide-insensitive and salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM)-sensitive. In this study, we found that during the initial phase of growth in normoxia, ciliate respiration is sensitive to the natural polyphenol resveratrol (RESV) and to Antimycin A (AMA). However, under hypoxic conditions, the parasite utilizes AMA-insensitive respiration, which is completely inhibited by RESV and by the antioxidant propyl gallate (PG), an alternative oxidase (AOX) inhibitor. PG caused significantly dose-dependent inhibition of the in vitro growth of the parasite under normoxia and hypoxia and an over-expression of heat shock proteins of the Hsp70 subfamily. RESV and PG may affect the protective role of the AOX against mitochondrial oxidative stress, leading to an impaired mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial dysfunction, which the parasite attempts to neutralize by increasing the expression of Hsp70. In view of the antiparasitic effects induced by AOX inhibitors and the absence of AOX in their host, this enzyme constitutes a potential target for the development of new drugs against scuticociliatosis.
