چکیده
The cloning and sequencing of the small subunit (SSU) ribosomal DNA gene from Kudoa rosenbuschi (myxosporean species associated with post-mortem myoliquefaction process in the Argentinean hake Merluccius hubbsi) is reported. The SSU rDNA was found to contain 1740 bp with a single polymorphic site with either a C or T at position 221. The sequence data obtained in this study and those known sequences of Kudoa species deposited in the GenBank were all analyzed to construct a phylogenetic tree. Nucleotide sequences showed the highest degree of identity with K. funduli, followed by K. miniauriculata, K. clupeidae and K. dianae. Phylogenetic analysis placed K. rosenbuschi in the same branch of K. clupeidae and K. funduli, and showed it to be closely related to K. dianae, K. paniformis and K. miniauriculata.

Philasterides dicentrarchi is a protozoan ciliate which causes significant economic losses in fish aquaculture. This study investigated the effects of chitosan microspheres cross linked with glutaraldehyde and containing beta-cyclodextrin (βCD) on the survival of this parasite in 7 d cultures. When used alone in assays, neither chitosan nor βCD showed any activity, whereas free glutaraldehyde w...

Juvenile turbot Scophthalmus maximus that became sick during an outbreak of disease at mariculture facilities at Go-Chang, Korea, in 2003, were examined to identify the cause of the disease. The fish had pale body color, an enlarged abdomen, protruding eyes, an enlarged spleen and kidney, and pale gills and/or liver. Histopathogical examination revealed basophilic enlarged cells in the kidney, ...

Sea lice infestations have become a major health problem for farmed salmonids throughout the world including Chile. In southern Chile, 6 geographical areas, divided into 22 geographical zones with a total of 127 salmon farming centers and 1519 sea pens, were regularly sampled from December 1999 to April 2002. A linear mixed-effects model (LME) approach was used to describe the infestations of a...

Adult worms of the blood-feeding monogenean parasite Neoheterobothrium hirame, which cause anemia in the Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, attach to the host fish by embedding their posterior part deeply into the host tissue. To investigate the possibility that cellular responses of the host fish can eliminate N. hirame, flounder were experimentally infected with N. hirame larvae and re...

A single-round polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnostic assay was developed from a small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA) gene sequence to detect the myxozoan parasite Kudoa neurophila, the causative agent of myxozoan disease in the hatchery reared marine finfish, striped trumpeter Latris lineata (Forster). The assay was developed for use as a disease control management tool in a hatchery sys...
