The Pseudomonas H6 lipopeptide is a surfactant which able to eliminate various parasitic pathogens including the ciliate Ichthyophthirius multifiliis in vitro . This suggests an application for aquaculture purposes. However, further information on efficacy of compound and possible immune modulation exposed fish should be gathered before usage at farm level considered. We performed vivo infectio...

During a parasitological investigation on the fresh water fishes of North West of Iran (West Azerbaijan Province), 266 specimens of 11 fishes were examined. Fishes were collected from seven stations from Aras, Zangbar and Sarysou Rivers between summer 2001 to summer 2002. Nine protozoan species were detected; eight Cilliophora and one Rhizopoda. Cilliophora are: Chilodonella sp., Apiosoma sp.,V...

in the present investigation a total of six parasite species, some eye-specific and others non-organ specific parasites were found in the eyes of 48 examined fish species, collected from fresh and brackish waters of iran during 2004-2006. ichthyophthirius multifiliis  was isolated from the external surface of the eyes of oncorhynchus mykiss, gyrodactylus stankovici from cyprinus carpio and lern...

condition factor of fish species is very important parameter for understanding fish biology and pathology. for that purpose, we sampled 120 fish individuals from the sava river at four locations (posavina region), where most of them belongs to the cyprinidae family while the others belonging to the families: percidae, siluridae, ameiuridae, esocidae and gobiidae. in total fish sample we found t...
