First record of Argulus japonicus infestation on Cyprinus carpio in Hungary, and the first description of Argulus japonicus europaeus subsp. nov. Keve, 2025 [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Species belonging to the genus Argulus are globally distributed fish parasites. Their veterinary significance primarily lies in their disruptive presence and their role as mechanical vectors. Although Argulus japonicus Thiele, 1900 is a widely

Trace element biomineralisation in the carapace in male and female Argulus japonicus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Parasites of fishes have been shown to be effective bioindicators of the aquatic environment. Few investigations have been conducted on ectoparasite models and therefore little is known about the fate of trace elements and metals which they accumulate ...

Dietary Shifts Among the Developmental Stages of the Ectoparasite, Argulus japonicus (Crustacea; Branchiura), Mirror Ontogeny as Shown Through Differences in Stable Isotope Ratios of Carbon (δ13C) and Nitrogen (δ15N) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionFood web architecture and trophic interactions between organisms can be studied using ratios of naturally occurring stable isotopes of carbon (13C/12C) and nitrogen (15N/14N).

Parasite diversity and community structure of translocated Clarias gariepinus (Burchell) in South Africa: Testing co-introduction, parasite spillback and enemy release hypotheses [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023 Clarias gariepinus (Burchell) is one of several freshwater fish species that have been translocated beyond its natural geographic range in South Africa. The present study investigated the parasitic communities of two translocated populations (one in the ...

Temperature affects settlement success of ectoparasitic salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) and impacts the immune and stress response of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). [PDF]
J Fish Dis, 2022 Abstract In this study, the effect of temperature on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) stress and immune response to the ectoparasitic salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) was investigated. We found that infestation affected the expression of several immune and wound healing transcripts in the skin especially at the site of lice attachment compared to un ...

Bioaccumulation of selected metals in Lamproglena clariae Fryer, 1956 infecting Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) collected from six sampling sites along the Vaal River, South Africa. [PDF]
Water Environ ResThe paper reports on the ability of a Crustacean fish ectoparasitic to accumulate metals. The concentration of various metals in the parasite is compared to the concentration in the water and sediment in six localities along an anthropogenically impacted river.

A global review of problematic and pathogenic parasites of farmed tilapia
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 15, Issue S1, Page 92-153, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Over the past 80 years, tilapia have been translocated globally for aquaculture; active production is recorded in >124 countries. Of 7 million tonnes of tilapia produced in aquaculture, 79% is from 79 countries outside the natural range of tilapia.

Improving tilapia biosecurity through a value chain approach
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 15, Issue S1, Page 57-91, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Tilapia aquaculture is a major source of animal protein, with global production reaching over 6 million tonnes in 2020. The rapid growth of the tilapia sector has led to a number of emerging disease threats and subsequent production losses. Risk analysis can provide a targeted approach for improving biosecurity in the tilapia sector.
