“…It has also been demonstrated to be very efficacious against fish parasitic metacercaria and adult cestodes of both freshwater and marine fishes (Bylund and Sumari 1981;Andrews and Riley 1982;Heckmann 1984;Pool et al 1984;Moser et al 1986;Lewbart and Gratzek 1990). Praziquantel is also very efficacious against numerous monogenean species including D. vastator, D. extensus, P. bini, P. anguillae, and Dermophthirius nigrelli Uovn the lemon shark {Negaprion brevirostris) (Schmahl and Mehlhorn 1985;Thoney 1989).…”

“…Tests in fish have shown praziquantel to be effective against both tapeworms and trematodes when injected, fed (naturally or forced), or applied in a water bath (Andrews and Riley 1982;Pool et al 1984;Moser et al 1986;Sanmartin-Duran et al 1989;Lewbart and Gratzek 1990;Rogstad et al 1993;Flores-Crespo et al 1994;Heckmann 1995;Mitchell 1995Mitchell , 2004). Injection and force-feeding methods are labor intensive, and medicated feeds are often not consumed by all fish in a targeted population.…”

The acute toxicity and highest nonlethal concentration of praziquantel (LC0) were determined in the laboratory for grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella and golden shiner Notemigonus crysoleucas, two cyprinids known to harbor the Asian tapeworm Bothriocephalus acheilognathi. Praziquantel is an anthelmintic used to treat fish with tapeworms. The 24‐h and 96‐h LC50 values were 55.1 and 49.7 mg/L for golden shiners (1.3 g) and 63.4 and 60.6 mg/L for grass carp (9.1 g). The 24‐h and 96‐h LC0 values were 50.0 and 45.0 mg/L for golden shiners and 60.0 and 60.0 mg/L for grass carp.

“…An advantage of using praziquantel to evaluate parasite loads is that it does not require killing and dissecting fish. Praziquantel has been used effectively to treat parasites in many fish species (Poole et al 1984;Schmahi and Taraschewski 1987;Sanmartin Duran et al 1989;Plumb and Rogers 1990;Mitchell 1995) and has become the treatment of choice for control of Asian tapeworm in hatcheries and ornamental fish ponds. Treatments typically consist of holding fish in a water bath that has been dosed with praziquantel for 12-24 h (Mitchell 2004).…”

Removal and Quantification of Asian Tapeworm from Bonytail Chub Using Praziquantel

The spread of the Asian tapeworm Bothriocephalus acheilognathi has been identified as a potential threat to endangered cyprinid fishes, such as bonytail Gila elegans and humpback chub G. cypha. Praziquantel is often used to remove Asian tapeworms from these species, but little information is available on the effectiveness or side effects of these treatments. I performed laboratory experiments using bonytails (110–457 mm total length) to evaluate the dosage and time needed to effectively remove 100% of Asian tapeworms using praziquantel. A low dose of 0.7 mg/L for 24 h was not effective at removing all Asian tapeworms, whereas a 24‐h exposure at 1.5 mg/L and higher was 100% effective. A bath treatment of 12‐h duration only appears effective at the highest dose of 36 mg/L, but not all Asian tapeworms are cleared from the host within this time frame. No short‐term mortality or side effects of praziquantel treatment were observed. Praziquantel bath treatments can effectively and safely remove 100% of Asian tapeworms from bonytail if dosage and treatment duration are adequate. In some cases, repeated treatments may be necessary to ensure that Asian tapeworms are not spread into new environments.
