“…In this trial, the majority of prevalence rates, varying from 30 to 48.8%, were higher than the one verified by De et al (1986) Bashirullah, 1974 than that one observed in this essay (30 to 70.6%). These results showed higher prevalence rates when compared to results of Moravec et al (1998) with Raphidascaris biwakoensis Fujita, 1928.…”

“…Their life cycle has been studied in copepods (Stromberg and Crites, 1974;Bashirullah and Ahmed, 1976;De et al, 1986), amphipods (Moravec, 1996) and cladocerans (Moravec et al, 1998). In laboratory conditions, Campana-Rouget (1961), Stromberg and Crites (1974), Bashirullah and Ahmed (1976) and De et al (1986) studied the infection rate and the life cycle evolution of camallanid larvae in microcrustaceans.…”

This trial registered the experimental infection viability with nematode larvae Camallanus sp. in Notodiaptomus sp., a crustacean, which can be an intermediate host. Adult females of nematode were dissected from the intestines of Xiphophorus maculatus (Osteichthyes: Poeciliidae), at a fish farm in the State of São Paulo. Females were slightly compressed for larvae release, collected with Pasteur pipette and separated on Petri dishes with 9ml filtered water at 28.1ºC, from zooplankton culture. Treatments consisted of Petri dishes with 60 and 105 copepods, in which 120, 150 and 210 larvae of nematode were added in four replications. Twenty-four and 36h after exposition to the larvae, the copepods were fixed in 70% alcohol to record the amount of fixed larvae. Twenty four hours after exposition, 60 copepods group with 120 larvae showed significantly higher prevalence (46.5%) when compared to 105 copepods and 120 larvae (33.2%). Thus, these answers suggested that 120 larvae were enough for a successful infectivity. Experimental infection was available and so, it was used as a pattern to life cycle studies of camallanid nematodes and hosts susceptibility tests.

“…Raphidascaris gigi (syn. R. biwakoensis, R. plecoglossi) is endemic to Lake Biwa, Japan, where it takes the cladoceran Leptodora kindti as a planktonic intermediate host (Moravec et al 1998). As an adult, this nematode inhabits the stomach or intestine of Pelteobagrus nudiceps, Plecoglossus altivelis, Salmo irideus, S. gairdneri, and Oncorhynchus masou (Fujita 1928;Kataoka and Momma 1934;Yamaguti 1935a;Nagasawa 1989, 2002).…”

Molecular and morphological identification of helminthes found in Japanese smelt, Hypomesus transpacificus nipponensis, with notes on new host records of Eustrongylides ignotus and Raphidascaris gigi

As an adult, Eustrongylides ignotus, recognized as a zoonotic parasite, is a parasitic nematode found in the gastrointestinal tract of fish-eating birds. As larvae, they are found in the connective tissue or body cavities of freshwater fish. In Japan, E. ignotus and E. tubifex have been found in three avian species, but their distribution in intermediate and paratenic hosts remains unclear. For this study, 16 commercial raw Japanese smelts, Hypomesus transpacificus nipponensis, were used for parasitological examination. A pinkish red worm collected from the abdominal wall of one smelt (6.3%) was identified as E. ignotus based on the high sequence similarity (99.9%) of the partial 18S ribosomal RNA gene and the morphology of its cephalic and caudal ends. Furthermore, a Raphidascaris-like nematode was found in the intestines of five smelts examined (31.3%) and was identified as R. gigi in view of the absence of lateral cuticular alae. Eustrongylides ignotus and R. gigi have been reported in various freshwater fish, but not in smelts. Therefore, this finding of E. ignotus and R. gigi in H. transpacificus nipponensis represents a new host record.
