“…It is possible that sand smelt can harbour the nematode in the intestinal wall and as they are the prey of piscivorous fish species, they can transmit the infection to predator fish, which themselves become infected by ingesting infected fishes (Moravec, 1994). Other benthos-eating species present in the lake, which are the second intermediate hosts of the nematode, can harbour the parasite and could contribute significantly to the nutrition of the predator, as reported by Bjeli - abrilo et al (2013). …”

“…Seasonality might not be expected in fish caught on Trasimeno lake because Eustrongylides eggs are shed by the final hosts throughout the year and they may develop and hatch at any time. Furthermore, the nematode eggs remain viable and infective for up to two years, the larvae can survive in the intermediate host for a period of more than one-year and on arrival into the definitive host, the development is promptly completed (Bjeli - abrilo et al , 2013). The mean intensity proved to be the highest in European perch (1.3%), with the number of parasites per fish ranging from one to three.…”

“…The first larval stage develops within the egg and is shed in the faeces by the infected bird, then is ingested by aquatic oligochaetes, such as Lumbriculus variegatus, Tubifex or Limnodrilus spp., which are the first intermediate hosts. Inside the oligochaete, the parasite develops into the second and third larval stages (Bjeli - abrilo et al , 2013). The second intermediate hosts are planktivorous and benthivorous fishes in which the third-stage larvae transform and moult into the fourth larval stage and remain in the fish, most frequently in the muscles, to be ingested by wading birds such as cormorant, the definite hosts (Moravec, 1994; Spalding and Forrester, 2008; Cole, 2009).…”

Occurrence of parasites of the genus Eustrongylides spp. (Nematoda: Dioctophymatidae) in fish caught in Trasimeno lake, Italy

Eustrongylides spp. is considered a freshwater fish zoonotic nematode. In the present study, the prevalence of Eustrongylides spp. in six edible fish (European perch - Perca fluviatilis, goldfish - Carassius auratus, largemouth black bass - Micropterus salmoides, tench- Tinca tinca, carp - Cyprinus carpio and sand smelt - Atherina boyeri) of Trasimeno lake was surveyed. The investigations were conducted from October 2014 to September 2015 and 384 specimens per species for each season were caught in Trasimeno lake and examined for the presence of larvae in the abdominal cavity and muscle. The presence of nematodes in the abdominal cavity and musculature was revealed in three fish species. The prevalence of Eustrongylides spp. infection was 6.84, 1.89 and 0.13% in perch, largemouth black bass and sand smelt, respectively. The number of parasites per fish was only one in largemouth black bass and sand smelt and ranged from one up to three in perch. This study states that the European perch, largemouth black bass and sand smelt of Trasimeno lake are infected with zoonotic parasites; therefore, food business operators have to take appropriate measures to guarantee the health of consumers.

The article describes occurrence and distribution of Eustrongylides trematodes in fish in the waters of the Dnipro-Buh estuary and the delta of Dnipro River in Mykolaiv and Kherson Region. Study was conducted in 2015–2016. This parasite was found in natural water reservoirs in Mykolaiv and Kherson region in following fish species: Sander lucioperca (Linnaeus, 1758), Perca fluviatilis (Linnaeus, 1758) and Esox lucius (Linnaeus, 1758). Ichtyopathological investigation of 346 fishes was conducted. Parasites were observed in abdominal cavity, muscle tissue, wall of gastro-intestinal tract, gonads and hepatopancreas. P. fluviatilis was the most affected species, prevalence of infection was 85.1 %. Less infected were S. lucioperca and E. lucius, with the prevalence of infection 58.1 % and 58.9 % respectively. Mean prevalence of infection of predatory fish in studied reservoirs was 70.5 %. The intensity of infection was the highest in perch (1–14 nematodes per fish). The lowest intensity of infection was found in pike-perch (1–9 nematodes per fish).

Zoonotic parasites carried by invasive alien species in China

et al. 2019

BackgroundThe invasive alien species may lead to great environmental and economic crisis due to its strong capability of occupying the biological niche of native species and altering the ecosystem of the invaded area. However, its potential to serve as the vectors of some specific zoonotic pathogens, especially parasites, has been neglected. Thus, the damage that it may cause has been hugely underestimated in this aspect, which is actually an important public health problem. This paper aims to discuss the current status of zoonotic parasites carried by invasive alien species in China.Main bodyThis review summarizes the reported zoonotic parasites carried by invasive alien species in China based on the Database of Invasive Alien Species in China. We summarize their prevalence, threat to human health, related reported cases, and the roles of invasive alien species in the life cycle of these parasites, and the invasion history of some invasive alien species. Furthermore, we sum up the current state of prevention and control of invasive alien species in China, and discuss about the urgency and several feasible strategies for the prevention and control of these zoonoses under the background of booming international communications and inevitable globalization.ConclusionsInformation of the zoonotic parasites carried by invasive alien species neither in China or worldwide, especially related case reports, is limited due to a long-time neglection and lack of monitoring. The underestimation of their damage requires more attention to the monitoring and control and compulsory measures should be taken to control the invasive alien species carrying zoonotic parasites.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s40249-018-0512-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
