Multiple gene analyses of caligid copepods indicate that the reduction of a thoracic appendage in Pseudocaligus represents convergent evolution [PDF]
, 2013 Background: The Caligidae is a family of parasitic copepods containing over 30 recognised genera. They are\ud commercially important parasites as they cause disease in numerous finfish aquaculture facilities globally.\ud Morphological features are used ...

Genomic analysis of the carboxylesterase family in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2021 The pyrethroid deltamethrin and the macrocyclic lactone emamectin benzoate (EMB) are used to treat infestations of farmed salmon by parasitic salmon lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis. While the efficacy of both compounds against Atlantic populations of the parasite has decreased as a result of the evolution of resistance, the molecular mechanisms of drug ...

Disruption of host-seeking behaviour by the salmon louse,Lepeophtheirus salmonis,using botanically derived repellents [PDF]
, 2017 The potential for developing botanically derived natural products as novel feed-through repellents for disrupting settlement of the salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Caligidae) upon farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, was investigated using an ...

Inventory and comparison of abundance of parasitic copepods on fish hosts in the western Wadden Sea (North Sea) between 1968 and 2010 [PDF]
, 2014 A conspicuous part of the parasite fauna of marine fish are ectoparasites, which attach mainly to the fins or gills. The abundant copepods have received much interest due to their negative effects on hosts.

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012 Among the several groups of copepods that are teleost parasites, the siphonostomatoid family Caligidae is by far the most widespread and diverse. With more than 108 nominal species, the caligid genus Lepeophtheirus von Nordmann is one of the most ...

Parasitology, 1988 SUMMARYIn the eastern Mediterranean, the copepodLepeophtheirus thompsoniBaird, 1850, has been reported to infest turbot, brill and flounder. By combining several methods, including enzyme electrophoresis, we show that this species is found only in turbot.

Multivariate evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment efficacy of cypermethrin against sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) [PDF]
, 2013 Background: The sea louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis is the most important ectoparasite of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Norwegian aquaculture. Control of sea lice is primarily dependent on the use of delousing chemotherapeutants, which are both ...

Ionotropic receptors signal host recognition in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis, Copepoda). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 A remarkable feature of many parasites is a high degree of host specificity but the mechanisms behind are poorly understood. A major challenge for parasites is to identify and infect a suitable host.

Effectiveness of emamectin benzoate for treatment of Lepeophtheirus salmonis on farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in the Bay of Fundy, Canada [PDF]
, 2012 Emamectin benzoate (an avermectin chemotherapeutant administered to fish as an in-feed treatment) has been used to treat infestations of sea lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis on farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada ...
