Shedding light on the parasite communities and diet of the deep‐sea shark Deania profundorum (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912) (Squaliform: Centrophoridae) from the Avilés Canyon (southern Bay of Biscay)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and

Rapid Clearance of Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae Spores by Freshwater Sponge Ephydatia muelleri: Potential Implications for Controlling Proliferative Kidney Disease in Salmonids

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Host–parasite interactions are influenced by both abiotic and biotic factors. While abiotic drivers, particularly temperature, have received considerable attention in recent years due to global climate change, the role of biotic factors remains comparatively underexplored.

Effects of Kudoa thyrsites on Proximate Composition and Texture of Merluccius capensis and Zues capensis

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Kudoa thyrsites is a myxosporean endoparasite that infects fish, frequently resulting in myoliquefaction, impacting the texture and eating quality of fish muscle. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of K. thyrsites infection on the proximate composition and texture parameters of raw fillets from two South African economically ...

Aspects of the Histopathology of Clarias gariepinus Infected With the Camallanid Parasite Procamallanus (Procamallanus) pseudolaeviconchus Moravec and Van As, 2015

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Histopathological studies of infections with the nematode Procamallanus (Procamallanus) pseudolaeviconchus Moravec and Van As, 2015, an intestinal parasite of Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822), are scarce. The current study describes histopathological changes in the stomach of C. gariepinus infected with P.

The Prevalence of Endoparasites of Free Ranging Cats (Felis catus) from Urban Habitats in Southern Poland

Animals, 2020
Growing urbanization leads to an increased risk of parasite spread in densely inhabited areas. Free-ranging cats can be locally numerous and come into frequent contact with both wildlife and humans.

First Report of the Malacosporean Parasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae in the Faroe Islands Reveals Widespread Distribution and High Prevalence in Brown Trout

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The myxozoan endoparasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae (Tb), the causative agent of proliferative kidney disease (PKD) in salmonids, has predominantly been reported in temperate regions of continental Europe and North America. Here, we present the first record of Tb in the Faroe Islands, extending the known northern distribution of the ...
