“…Efficacy of the anthelminthics against Neoechinorhynchus buttnerae of Colossoma macropomum in 6 and 24 hr of exposure of Dactylogyrus vastator Nybelin, 1924 after exposure to praziquantel. Praziquantel has a mechanism of action based on depolarization of the tegument of helminth parasites, thus leading to entry of calcium into the cells, hence causing immobilization, spasmodic contractions and paralysis(Hardy-Smith et al, 2012;Sitja-Bobadilla, Felipe, & Alvarez-Pellitero, 2006;Thomas & Timson, 2018;Williams, Ernst, Chambers, & Whittington, 2007).…”

“…As each parasite species seems to be associated to different degrees of damage, the knowledge of the specific identity of the species infecting cultured fish becomes particularly crucial for prophylaxis and therapeutic strategies. In fact, anthelmintics such as praziquantel have been seen to show different efficacy depending on the Cardicola species Hardy-Smith et al, 2012;Ishimaru et al, 2013). Moreover, co-infections with other pathogens in culture conditions must also be taken into account, as well as the synergic effects of other parasites, such as caligid sea lice (Hayward et al, 2010).…”

Morphological characterisation and identification of four species of Cardicola Short, 1953 (Trematoda: Aporocotylidae) infecting the Atlantic bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus (L.) in the Mediterranean Sea

Blood flukes of the genus Cardicola Short, 1953 are considered the most potentially pathogenic parasites in bluefin tuna cultures. Morphological study and genetic analyses of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer ITS-2 and the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 (cox1) gene fragments revealed the occurrence of four aporocotylid species (C. forsteri Cribb, Daintith & Munday, 2000, C. orientalis Ogawa, Tanaka, Sugihara & Takami, 2010, C. opisthorchis Ogawa, Ishimaru, Shirakashi, Takami & Grabner, 2011 and Cardicola sp.) in 421 Thunnus thynnus (L.) from the Western Mediterranean (274 fished from the wild and 147 from sea-cages). Cardicola opisthorchis was the most abundant species, with higher prevalence in the cage-reared fish than in those fished in the wild (21 vs 6%, p < 0.05). Adults of three species were recovered: C. forsteri from both gills and heart, C. opisthorchis from heart and C. orientalis from gills. The secondary gill lamellae were profusely infected by eggs of C. orientalis. A fourth species was found in four tunas, based on the molecular analyses of eggs apparently indistinguishable in size and shape from the eggs of C. orientalis. The findings provided evidence that infections with Cardicola spp. differed in relation to locality, host origin (wild vs cage-reared) and site of infection. It is necessary to estimate the possible different pathogenic effects of each species of Cardicola in order to take appropriate control measures.

“…and a sealice (Caligus chiastos). Blood flukes have been identified as the most important health risk to SBT (Hardy-Smith et al 2012;Kirchhoff et al 2012). Like other blood flukes, Cardiola forsteri has a two-host lifecycle, which requires a definitive host, bluefin tuna (Thunnus spp.…”

The health of southern bluefin tuna (SBT), Thunnus maccoyii, in the Great Australian Bight was assessed. Samples were obtained over 3 years (2010)(2011)(2012) and over five individual schools in 2012. Several blood variables and parasite loads were measured and used as indicators of SBT health. The health of wild SBT varied among years and among schools sampled within the same month. Haemoglobin and the humoral immune parameters lysozyme and alternative complement activity explained the majority of the variation. Haemoglobin concentration, lysozyme activity, alternative complement activity, and lactate were lower in wild SBT sampled in 2010 than in 2011 and 2012. The extent to which the health differences in wild SBT may affect ranched SBT is currently unknown. Benchmark values were set for various blood parameters and parasite loads in wild SBT. Résumé: La santé du thon rouge du Sud (TRS), Thunnus maccoyii, dans la grande baie australienne a été évaluée. Des échantillons ont été obtenus sur 3 ans (2010-2012), ainsi que de cinq bancs différents en 2012. Plusieurs variables du sang et des charges de parasites ont été mesurées et utilisées comme indicateurs de la santé du TRS. La santé des TRS sauvages variait selon l'année et, durant un mois donné, selon le banc échantillonné. L'hémoglobine et les paramètres associés à l'immunité humorale, ainsi que l'activité du lysozyme et l'activité de la voie alterne expliquaient la majeure partie des variations. La concentration d'hémoglobine, l'activité du lysozyme, l'activité de la voie alterne et le lactate étaient plus faibles chez les TRS sauvages échantillonnés en 2010 que chez ceux échantillonnés en 2011 et 2012. L'ampleur de l'incidence sur les TRS d'élevage des différences relatives à la santé observées chez les TRS sauvages demeure inconnue. Des valeurs de référence ont été établies pour divers paramètres sanguins et charges de parasites chez les TRS sauvages. [Traduit par la Rédaction]
