A cathepsin L-like cysteine proteinase gene from the protozoan parasite, Cryptobia salmositica
Parasitology Research, 2006The present study describes the identification of a cathepsin L-like cysteine proteinase gene (CYS) from the hemoflagellate Cryptobia salmositica. Genomic DNA sequence of cysteine proteinase was obtained by genome walking using degenerate primers. Specific primers were designed to amplify the cDNA of cysteine proteinase from mRNA by rapid amplification

Transmission of the Hemoflagellate, Cryptobia salmositica Katz, 1951, by a Rhynchobdellid Vector
The Journal of Parasitology, 1965The transmission of Cryptobia salmositica Katz, 1951, a hemoflagellate of freshwater teleosts, was investigated in experiments involving the rhynchobdellid leech, Piscicola salmositica Meyer, 1946. Uninfected leeches developed metacyclic stages of Cryptobia in their digestive tracts after feeding on naturally infected torrent sculpins (Cottus rhotheus).

An infestation of young tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus Peters, by the flagellate Cryptobia branchialiswas observed at the Salton Sea, California, in September, 1997. This is the first report of C. branchialis in a highly saline water-body (43 g l−1). Ultrastructure of C. branchialis as well as its effect on the gills of tilapia were studied using the

Effects of the pathogenic haemoflagellate, Cryptobia salmositica on brood fish, Oncorhynchus mykiss
Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2008Sexually matured rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, were experimentally infected with the pathogenic Cryptobia salmositica. Spawning female trout were more susceptible to cryptobiosis than sexually mature males. Most infected females (seven of nine) with eggs died before or shortly after spawning while all (nine) infected males survived the disease ...

PATHOLOGY ASSOCIATED WITH Cryptobia INFECTION IN A SUMMER FLOUNDER (Paralichthys dentatus)
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1978A laboratory-held summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus) became moribund and presented gross ulcerative and hemorrhagic lesions, concomitant with a space-occupying lesion in the abdominal cavity and a prolapsed rectum. Edema, hemorrhage, and necrosis of the intestine and edema of the stomach wall were noted upon post-mortem examination.

Further Observations on Cryptobia dahli (Mastigophorea: Kinetoplastida) Parasitizing Marine Fish
The Journal of Protozoology, 1991Studies were conducted primarily to ascertain the mode of transmission of Cryptobia dahli parasitizing the digestive tract of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus). Another flagellate, morphologically similar to C. dahli, was also observed in the gut of a deepsea fish (Macrourus berglax).

Cryptobia cataractae from the Blood of Semotilus atromaculatus: Structure and Division in the Fish
The Journal of Parasitology, 1990A cryptobiid was found in the blood of 2 of 9 Semotilus atromaculatus from a tributary of the Saugeen River in Ontario, Canada. Blood inoculation produced an infection in 2 uninfected S. atromaculatus but not in any Oncorhynchus mykiss, Catostomus commersoni, or Carassius auratus.

A New Hemoflagellate (Genus Cryptobia) from Marine Fishes of Northern New England
The Journal of Parasitology, 1965A new species of hemoflagellate is described from the blood of marine fishes of northern New England. This appears to be the first record of a biflagellate organism in the blood of marine fishes from the Western Hemisphere. The parasite, placed in the genus Cryptobia Leidy (Trypanoplasma, Laveran and Mesnil), differs morphologically from Trypanoplasma ...

In vitro Effects of Fetal Bovine Serum and Glucose on Multiplication of Cryptobia salmositica
The Journal of Parasitology, 1991Cryptobia salmositica multiplied rapidly at 10 C in a minimum essential medium (containing 1.0 mg glucose/ml, Hanks' salts and L-glutamine) supplemented with heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) and HEPES buffer (25 mM). The multiplication rate of C.
