Getting into hot water: sick guppies frequent warmer thermal conditions

Abstract: Ectotherms depend on the environmental temperature for thermoregulation and exploit thermal regimes that optimise physiological functioning. They may also frequent warmer conditions to up-regulate their immune response against parasite infection and/or impede parasite development. This adaptive response, known as ‘behavioural fever’, has been documented in various taxa including insects, reptiles and fish, but only in response to endoparasite infections. Here, a choice chamber experiment was used to investigat… Show more

“…Indeed, in Zebrafish, stressed individuals spent more time at higher temperatures in continuous thermal system and then showed an emotional fever (Rey et al., ). In the Nile tilapia (Cerqueira et al., ) and the Trinidadian guppy (Mohammed et al., ), bacterial infection induced behavioral fever. Infected individuals spent more time at higher temperature in continuous thermal gradient system to reduce bacterial load.…”

Because of the relatively low sensitivity of fish and toads to LPS, the dose used to induce behavioral fever in these animals (toad:…”

“…The maximum average life span of individual G. salaris when feeding on its natural salmon host, or indeed when detached from a host, is negatively correlated with water temperature (Olstad et al 2006). Environmental temperature not only impacts survival but also affects most other gyrodactylid functions (e.g., Gelnar 1991, Mohammed et al 2016 and in the host both the alternative and classical complement pathway activities can be depressed during cold periods (Hayman et al 1992, Collazos et al 1994, Harris et al 1998. In northern parts of Norway, river temperature is around 0 o C during winter (see The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy: Directorate; https://www2.nve.no/h/hd/plotreal/WT/index.html).…”
