Cryptic diversity and recent diversification in the Pyrrhulina australis species complex (Characiformes, Lebiasinidae) revealed by mitochondrial DNA

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pyrrhulina australis Eigenmann & Kennedy, 1903, is widely distributed across the main hydrographic basins of South America. The taxonomic integrity of this species is nevertheless challenged by the lack of clear diagnostic characters, its marked geographic variation and the morphological overlap with its congeners. In this context, the present

First Report of ‘Soft Flesh’ Induced by the Parasite Kudoa thyrsites (Myxosporea) in Commercial Codfish From Norway

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Kudoa thyrsites is a myxosporean parasite that infects the skeletal muscle of various teleost fish species globally. Severe infections lead to ‘soft flesh’ in fish fillets, resulting in food spoilage and subsequent discard. While K. thyrsites has previously been identified in migratory Atlantic mackerel in the northern Northeast Atlantic Ocean,

A Two‐Step PCR Workflow Reveals Predominance of Flavobacterium covae in Ornamental Fish With Clinical Signs of Columnaris Disease

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Columnaris is an important bacterial disease of freshwater fish and is increasingly recognised as being caused by a species complex historically referred to as Flavobacterium columnare. A two‐step molecular workflow was applied to ornamental fish with clinical signs of columnaris disease from a multispecies commercial distributor operating a ...

RNA polymerase II-mediated rDNA transcription mediates rDNA copy number expansion in Drosophila.

PLoS Genetics
Ribosomal DNA (rDNA), which encodes ribosomal RNA, is an essential but unstable genomic element due to its tandemly repeated nature. rDNA's repetitive nature causes spontaneous intrachromatid recombination, leading to copy number (CN) reduction, which ...

Challenging Host Specificity: Malacosporean Parasite Dynamics—Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae Beyond Salmonids—An Infection Experiment

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proliferative Kidney Disease (PKD) is a severe parasitic disease of salmonids caused by the malacosporean endoparasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae. In the fish intermediate host, the parasite is disseminated via the circulatory system and ultimately reaches the kidney, where it matures before releasing infective spores into the environment ...

Histopathological and Molecular Data on Myxobolus spp. Infecting Bryconid Fish From the Brazilian Pantanal Wetland

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous studies described Myxobolus umidus infecting the spleen of Brycon hilarii, whereas Myxobolus pantanalis and Myxobolus salminus infecting the gill filaments of Salminus brasiliensis. In this study, we provided supplementary morphological and molecular data on these three Myxobolus species and histopathological analyses of the tissues ...

Diagnosis and Off‐Label Treatment of Subcutaneous Putative Dracunculoid Nematodes in Apteronotus albifrons Originating From Wild‐Caught Fisheries

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Apteronotus albifrons (Gymnotiformes: Apteronotidae), commonly known as the black ghost knifefish, is a high‐value ornamental fish that is susceptible to various parasites. The affected fish were wild‐caught fisheries and subsequently introduced into a commercial breeding system.

Nodular Lesions in the Pyloric Caeca of Sardinella aurita (Teleostei) Associated With the Cestode Anthobothrium sp. 1 Larvae (Platyhelminthes: Eucestoda) Off Tunisia, Mediterranean Sea

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Examination of round sardinella Sardinella aurita Valenciennes, 1847 (Clupeidae) from the Gulf of Tunis (Tunisia) revealed the first local and Mediterranean record of Anthobothrium sp. 1 sensu Jensen & Bullard, 2010 (Tetraphyllidea incertae sedis, Anthobothrium).

Simultaneous quantification of rDNA methylation and copy number: Constraints to natural variation in humans and cell lines.

PLoS ONE
Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) copy number (CN) varies widely both across and within species. In humans, it has been hypothesized that rDNA transcriptional activity is partially regulated by rDNA methylation status.
