“…The main hosts of P . ambloplitis in North America are predatory centrarchids, such as rock bass Ambloplites rupestris (Rafinesque, 1817), smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu Lacépède, 1802 and largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides (Lacépède, 1802) (Freze, 1965; Gillilland & Muzzall, 2004). Plerocercoids are euryxenous and infect a wide range of fish hosts from different families, mainly centrarchids, but also including cyprinids, cyprinidontids, esocids and percids (Amin, 1990).…”

“…European pumpkinseed populations host several co-introduced parasite species, including ancyrocephalid and gyrodactylid monogeneans (Sterud & Jørgensen, 2006; Ondračková et al ., 2011, 2019; Havlátová et al ., 2015; Kvach et al ., 2018b; Stoyanov et al ., 2017b) and one digenean (Kvach et al ., 2017; Stoyanov et al ., 2017a; Ondračková et al ., 2019). In this study, we report the first case of the possible introduction into Europe of a non-indigenous cestode native to the pumpkinseed's native range in North America.…”

Here, we report the first record of pleroceroids of the Nearctic tapeworm Proteocephalus ambloplitis (Leidy, 1887) in European fresh waters. The plerocercoids were found encapsulated in the internal organs of the invasive pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus (Linnaeus, 1758) in a pond in Bègles Plage, Bordeaux, France. This parasite species was not observed in L. gibbosus collected from two nearby localities, Bordeaux Lac and a pond in the Parc de Fontaudin. Species identification was confirmed using molecular data and morphological characteristics.

Application of Molecular Pathology Techniques to Understand Mechanisms of Disease in Smallmouth Bass

In the Chesapeake Bay drainage, smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu are used as an indicator species of estrogenic contaminant exposure and have been implicated in fish kills and disease since 2005. In the Potomac River drainage, adult smallmouth bass have experienced mortality and disease and males have a high prevalence of intersex (testicular oocytes). Conversely, in the Susquehanna River drainage mortalities and disease of young-of-the-year smallmouth bass (YOY SMB) have occurred and resulted in a population shift to older and larger fish. The exact cause of these events remains unknown; however, factors such as poor water quality, contaminants, pathogens and parasites, increased temperatures, and nutrification have been assessed. In order to address this issue, the USGS Fish Health Branch, Leetown Science Center, and West Virginia Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit have ongoing assessment and monitoring projects throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The use of routine histopathology has provided guidance for further research with molecular endpoints that may help explain the mechanisms involved in disease in smallmouth bass. The purpose of this dissertation research was to: 1.) Identify the prevalence of coinfections and risk factors of disease in YOY SMB; 2.) Use in situ hybridization to identify coinfections of bacteria with the myxozoan parasite Myxobolus inornatus in YOY smallmouth bass; 3.) Model liver helminths and coinfections of YOY SMB with land use at two spatial scales; 4.) Develop laser capture microdissection methods for nucleic acid extractions which could be used with smallmouth bass tissues; and 5.) Utilize Next-Generation Sequencing to develop a partial testes transcriptome to identify molecular markers that may help explain intersex development in male smallmouth bass. would like to thank the many people who have helped in the laboratory and in the field including Kathy Spring,
