“…Mast cells are present in most species of teleost and in a variety of tissues (e.g., alimentary canal, gills and skin) [51,52]. Mast cells are motile [19,53] and have been recognized in regions of active inflammatory response especially due to bacterial and parasitic infections [25,54,55]. Gill is one of the tissues first exposed to environmental challenges and pathogens, so an ability to mount an immune defense is crucial [16,51].…”

“…Mast cells may play an important role in the mechanisms of inflammatory response because they express a number of functional proteins, including antimicrobial peptides that act against a broad spectrum of pathogens [249][250][251][252][253].…”

The vertebrate immune system is comprised of numerous distinct and interdependent components. Every component has its own inherent protective value, and the final combination of them is likely to be related to an animal's immunological history and evolutionary development. Vertebrate immune system consists of both systemic and mucosal immune compartments, but it is the mucosal immune system which protects the body from the first encounter of pathogens. According to anatomical location, the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, in teleost fish is subdivided into gut-, skin-, and gill-associated lymphoid tissue and most available studies focus on gut. The purpose of this paper is to summarise the current knowledge of the immunological defences present in skin mucosa as a very important part of the fish immune system, serving as an anatomical and physiological barrier against external hazards. Interest in defence mechanism of fish arises from a need to develop health management tools to support a growing finfish aquaculture industry, while at the same time addressing questions concerning origins and evolution of immunity in vertebrates. Increased knowledge of fish mucosal immune system will facilitate the development of novel vaccination strategies in fish.

“…In Tenuiproboscis sp (Sanil et al 2011) observed a progressively decreasing size of hooks from anterior to posterior region, but the posterior most row of spines was larger. As in most acanthocephalan species, hook surface is smooth in E. veli in contrast to surface striations in Porrorchis indicus (Abd-El-Moaty and Taeleb, 2011), Dentitruneus truttae (Dezfuli et al 2008) and Rhadinorhynchus ornatus (Amin et al 2009). Dezfuli et al (2008) speculated that the striations may help effective attachment to the host intestinal wall.…”

The paired pits at the base of the proboscis similar to those in E. veli were reported in Acanthogyrus tilapiae by Amin and Heckmann (2012) and suggested a sensory function.…”

Echinorhynchus veli (George and Nadakal, 1978), an acanthocephalid worm infesting the estuarine flat fish, Synaptura orientalis, was collected from the Veli lake, Kerala. The parasite was recovered from the intestine of the host fish. The detailed surface morphology was studied with the help of scanning electron microscope. The study revealed a cylindrical, medially swollen proboscis with a flat apex, backward directed hooks, each with smooth surface, broad base, pointed tip and an epidermal elevation at the point of insertion. A pair of sensory pits was seen at the base of the proboscis. The neck was well developed with densely packed epidermal micropores. Paired sensory pits were seen at the base of the neck and a collar between it and the trunk. The epidermis of the trunk has microtriches and micropores. The female genital pore was circular, and terminal in an elevated orifice. In male, the copulatory bursa was directed ventrally, with well-defined rim and several sensory papillae.
