Cryptobia iubilans in Cichlids
EDIS, 2014 After many years of diagnostics at the University of Florida and at other laboratories around the country, it appears that Cryptobia iubilans is not uncommon among cichlids, and that environmental and other factors determine the extent of disease.

Parasite Diversity in a Freshwater Ecosystem [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Parasites are a significant component of biodiversity. They negatively affect fish appearance, growth, and reproduction. In this study, the prevalence of infection, diversity, and mean intensity of parasites were examined in 9 freshwater fish species (45

Immunological and therapeutic strategies against salmonid cryptobiosis. [PDF]
J Biomed Biotechnol, 2010 Salmonid cryptobiosis is caused by the haemoflagellate, Cryptobia salmositica. Clinical signs of the disease in salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) include exophthalmia, general oedema, abdominal distension with ascites, anaemia, and anorexia. The disease‐causing factor is a metalloprotease and the monoclonal antibody (mAb‐001) against it is therapeutic.

Use of a live vaccine to modulate Cryptobia salmositica infections in Salmo salar [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2007 The vaccine strain of Cryptobia salmositica multiplies in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and it can modulate the severity of the disease in Cryptobia-infected individuals. Fish injected with the vaccine 3 d post-infection with C. salmositica had lower peak parasitaemias and higher antibody titres than infected fish given the vaccine 7 d post-infection or ...

Relations between histopathology and parasitaemias in Oncorhynchus mykiss infected with Cryptobia salmositica, a pathogenic haemoflagellate [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2001 One group (n = 50) of juvenile rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss was inoculated intraperitoneally with 2000 (low dose [LD]) and another group (n = 50) with 20,000 (high dose [HD]) Cryptobia salmositica fish(-1). The histopathology was a generalised inflammatory reaction, and lesions were in connective tissues and in the reticulo-endothelial system.

Characterization of a 200 kDa glycoprotein (Cs-gp200) on the pathogenic piscine haemoflagellate Cryptobia salmositica [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 1998 The 200 kDa antigenic doublet of the pathogenic haemoflagellate Cryptobia salmositica Katz, 1951, was detected using a monoclonal antibody (MAb-001) in 1-dimensional SDS-PAGE. This antigenic doublet is a glycoprotein since it was susceptible to both protease K and to sodium m-periodate oxidation and is designated Cs-gp200.

The therapeutic use of isometamidium chloride against Cryptobia salmositica in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 1999 Rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss injected intramuscularly with isometamidium chloride (0.01 or 0.1 mg kg-1) at 3 wk post-infection and given a booster 2 wk later had significantly lower parasitaemias than infected controls. Packed cell volume increased after treatment and remained higher than in infected controls. The concentration of isometamidium in
