Fish parasite

In addition to Giardia, it is likely that mitosomes are present in other related diplomonads, such as the fish parasite Spironucleus. A recent genomic survey of this organism indicated the presence of IscS in this parasite, which might be localized in putative mitosomes (Andersson et al. 2007). However,...

Clues to other signals for attachment and invasion of the host by helminth parasites have come from work on fish parasites such as Acanthostomum brauni. Cercariae of A. brauni do not recognize small molecules such as amino acids, monosaccharides or electrolytes, but do respond to hyaluronic acid and glycoproteins for attachment (34). Penetration of the host is triggered by free fatty acids and mucus components present on the fish skin surface (35). 

Fish farmers utilize KMn04 to prevent oxygen depletion and to control fish parasites, whilst in the manufacture of specific organic intermediates (e.g., pharmaceuticals, chemicals, pesticides, fine organics, such as flavorings) KMn04 is an indispensable oxidant (Reidies 2003).

In recent decades, the application of chemical treatments to control parasitic infection in fish culture has tended to become the dominant strategy, particularly in developed countries. This has undoubtedly been due to the increased value of cultured fish in the market economy. The increased production volume of cultured fish, particularly the salmonids, has attracted major pharmaceutical companies to invest in the development of selected effective products for use in fish parasite control and to obtain licences for their use. Despite the enormous costs of research and development for licensing new treatments, it has been cost-effective, particularly in the area of drug or chemotherapeutants against sea lice on salmon. There are many reasons, however, for choosing non-chemical methods for controlling a disease problem in aquaculture. In many cases there are no suitable or effective chemical methods available for controlling a specific disease, or it may be that conditions are such that a chemical method cannot be used in...
