Infection of the Digenean Aerobiotrema muraenesocis in the Swim Bladder Lumen of Pike Eel Muraenesox cinereus.

Abstract: ABSTRACT-Pike eels Muraenesox cinereus (41-116 cm in total length; n=23) purchased from fish markets in Aichi Prefecture were infected with the digenetic trematode Aerobiotrema muraenesocis in the swim bladder (11 out of 23 fish; intensity of infection 1-27). Effects of the infection on the host were studied and partial life history of this trematode was postulated.Eggs of the trematode were spherical or sub-spherical.They could hatch in the water with a wide range of salinity (1/3 to undiluted). Hatched larva… Show more

“…The swimbladder wall of Japanese eels infected by A. crassus has not yet been investigated histologically, but naked eye inspections of naturally infected hosts (Mü nderle et al, 2006) support the assumption that the tissue response of the swimbladder wall is much less conspicuous than in the European eel, resulting from the lower abundance of the parasite in the respective eel populations. The altered structure of the European eel's swimbladder wall (Wü rtz & Taraschewski, 2000), resulting from present or previous infections by A. crassus (see Lefèbvre et al, 2002), appears to be a general response of an anguilliform fish against a dense infrapopulation of a helminth in its hydrostatic organ, as can be concluded from a histological study of swimbladders of Muraenesox cinereus infected with the trematode Aerobiotrema muraenesocis (Yamada et al, 2001).…”
