Stimulation of antioxidant enzymes levels in carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) infected by Ptychobothrium sp. (Cestoda)

Oxidative stress in the gill tissues of goldfishes (Carassius auratus) parasitized by Dactylogyrus spp

“…when compared with healthy fish. This antioxidant response could contribute to neutralize the oxidative stress normally induced by parasitism (Dautremepuits et al 2002(Dautremepuits et al , 2003.…”

“…A possible role(s) of the ROS in the pathogenesis of parasitic infections has been an active area of research in recent years. Data reporting changes in oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation associated with parasite infection in aquatic animals are extremely scarce (Bello et al 2000;Dautremepuits et al 2003;Marcogliese et al 2005;Stumbo et al 2012).…”

The Influence of Parasitic Infection on the Black Sea Whiting, Merlangius merlangus euxinus (Gadidae), Morphophysiological and Biochemical Parameters

“…Infection causes biochemical reorganization of metabolism in infected tissues, directed to selective uptake of nutritional substances and can lead to serious structural and functional changes in organs. Due to this host response reaction develops; it is directed to support of the infected organs functioning as compensation of parasites effect (Dautremepuits et al, 2003;Vasilyeva et al, 2010). That is why the diagnostics of parasitic infection using indicators of different biological level is necessary for evaluation of the infected host condition.…”

“…Host adaptations to parasite are provided by protective systems, which activity is directed to lowering the negative influence and destruction of toxic metabolites. These are immune and antioxidant systems (Skuratovskaya, Zavyalov, 2008;Dautremepuits et al, 2003;Mertinez-Alvares et al, 2005;Sitja-Bobadilla et al, 2008).…”

“…This is especially important for fisheries and aquaculture, because infection can be the reason of mass fish death and lowers fish production (Rudneva et al, 2010;Dautremepuits et al, 2003;Mertinez-Alvares et al, 2005).…”
