Molecular mechanisms of an antimicrobial peptide piscidin (Lc-pis) in a parasitic protozoan, Cryptocaryon irritans [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Cryptocaryon irritans is an obligate parasitic ciliate protozoan that can infect various commercially important mariculture fish species and cause high lethality and economic loss. Current methods of controlling this parasite with chemicals or

Development of a Real-Time PCR Assay for Noninvasive Detection of Miamiensis avidus in Olive Flounder Aquaculture. [PDF]

J Fish Dis
ABSTRACT Miamiensis avidus (syn. Philasterides dicentrarchi) leads to high mortality and economic losses in olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) aquaculture. In this study, we developed a real‐time PCR assay targeting the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) gene of M. avidus to sensitively detect and quantify the parasite in seawater.

An investigation into the efficacy of Biokos® in controlling ciliates in laboratory cultures of Saccharina latissima gametophytes. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract A major challenge faced by kelp aquaculture operations is the control of contaminants, including by marine ciliates. Biokos® is a commercially available treatment for ciliate parasites in fish, in which the active ingredient is a viscosin‐like lipopeptide surfactant.

Transcriptome analysis of the Cryptocaryon irritans tomont stage identifies potential genes for the detection and control of cryptocaryonosis [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background Cryptocaryon irritans is a parasitic ciliate that causes cryptocaryonosis (white spot disease) in marine fish. Diagnosis of cryptocaryonosis often depends on the appearance of white spots on the surface of the fish, which are usually visible ...

Development of a Tetrahymena thermophila-Based Vaccine Expressing Miamiensis avidus Ciliary Proteins to Combat Scuticociliatosis. [PDF]

J Fish Dis
ABSTRACT Miamiensis avidus is a parasitic pathogen responsible for scuticociliatosis, a lethal infection affecting marine fish worldwide, including Japanese flounder. Immunisation with formalin‐killed M. avidus has shown promise in inducing protective immunity, positioning it as a potential vaccine candidate against scuticociliatosis.

Genome-wide characterization, phylogenetic and expression analysis of Galectin gene family in Golden pompano Trachinotus ovatus [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
Galectins (Gals) are a type of S-type lectin that are widespread and evolutionarily conserved among metazoans, and can act as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). In this study, 10 Gals (ToGals)
