Goldfish, Carassius auratus (L.), mobilized an acute, non-specific cellular inflammatory response against experimental infection with metacercariae of the digenean Ribeiroia marini in lateral line scale canals. The host cellular response to primary infection consisted of a rapid infiltration of neutrophilic granulocytes and macrophages that adhered to the metacercial cyst wall. Granulocytes released cytoplasmic granules, forming a necrotic zone around the cyst. Outside the necrotic zone, a fibrocytic zone and epithelioid cells formed a matrix upon which reactive leucocytes were attached in a progressive granulomatous encapsulation. Interdigitating epitheliod cells formed a syncytial border separating the necrotic zone from the outer fibrocytic region of the granuloma. Acute inflammatory response preceded the expulsion of most metacercariae from the scale canals. Few cysts remained encapsulated in epidermal tissue. Cellular response to challenge infections was more intense, but no major differences in leucocyte composition between primary and challenge infections suggested a continuum of inflammation and cell-mediated responses. In late primary and challenge infections, the predominant eosinophilic granular cell released cytoplasmic granules. We propose that the eosinophilic granular cell of the goldfish has an antiparasitic function, releasing bioactive granules that alter the environment of the scale canal and cause the expulsion of parasites. 相似文献

Abstract. Four species of flatfish [plaice, Pleuronectes platessa L.; turbot, Scophthalmus maximus (L.); Dover sole, Solea solea (L.) and the common dab, Limanda limanda (L.)] were experimentally infected with cercariae of Stephanochasmus baccatus under similar conditions and examined at intervals up to 7 weeks post-infection- The tissue response was found to be qualitatively the same in all four hosts and was consistent with a chronic granulomatous inflammatory reaction induced by resistant particulate foreign bodies. The intensity and rate of the response varied between host species but the capsule formation was essentially similar in all. The mature capsule consisted of an inner layer composed of leucocytes which underwent epithelioid transformation. The cellular structure of this tissue gradually degenerated from the oldest layer to form a dense eosinophilic ground substance in which was embedded nuclear debris. The outer layer of the capsule consisted of fibroblasts and reticulin collagen fibres. Muscle and fin cysts differed, with muscle cysts tending to be less discrete and more fibrous. The rate and intensity of the response to the parasite varied between different host species. Plaice and turbot showed the most intensive response and in turbot the reaction was considerably accelerated. Mortality of encysted metacercariae was only seen in turbot. The overall effect on larger 1-group fish was minimal, but the smaller 0-group plaice were more severely affected by the relatively large cvsts that interfered with organ function. 相似文献

A new myxosporean, Myxobolus bulbocordis sp. nov., has been found in the heart of a Mesopotamian fish, Barbus sharpeyi (Günther), in rivers in Southwest Iran. Cysts containing matured spores were located on the serosa of the atrium cordis, bulbus arteriosus, larger gill arteries and inside the wall of the bulbus. The species showed an affinity to connective tissue cells and was never associated with the muscles. Mature cysts were surrounded by a connective tissue capsule composed of two to three layers. Spores in disrupted cysts were infiltrated by epithelioid cells and macrophages. The spores found in Barbus sharpeyi differed in size and morphology from species known from other barbels. 相似文献

The pathological changes induced by an infection of Diphyllobothrium dendriticum (Nitzsch, 1824) plerocercoids in powan, Coregonus lavaretus (L.), from Loch Lomond, Scotland, were assessed using immunohistochemical and ultrastructural techniques. In a sample of 26 powan, the occurrence of encysted plerocercoids of D. dendriticum on the outer surface of the stomach was 38.5% (n = 10) with the number of cysts ranging from 4 to 15 and measuring 4.2 +/- 1.0 mm x 3.4 +/- 0.9 mm (mean +/- SD). Histological examination of intestinal samples also revealed plerocercoids (2-21) encapsulated within a proliferation of mesenteric fibrous tissues of the gastric wall and, occasionally, by the gut lamina propria-submucosa and lamina muscularis. In section, cysts were tri-layered and were formed from a series of concentric whorls of fibroblast and collagen fibre-based connective elements. The extent of necrosis within each muscle layer and the serosa of the stomach differed, notably within the latter that was marked by a chronic inflammatory reaction and fibrosis. Within the cyst and around it, a large number of degranulating mast cell/eosinophilic granule cells were seen, in addition to melano-macrophage centres. Immunohistochemical staining of sections of infected stomach revealed a high density of elements, in close proximity to plerocercoids, staining positive for serotonin, bombesin, substance P and galanin. Uninfected material did not present the same levels of activity. Sections through both infected and uninfected tissue were also tested for elements containing vasoactive intestinal peptide, met-enkephalin, calcitonin gene-related peptide, neuropeptide Y and nitric oxide synthase, but these were absent. 相似文献

Histopathological and ultrastructural investigations were conducted on 36 tench, Tinca tinca (L.), from Lake Trasimeno (Italy). The gills, intestine, liver, spleen, kidney and heart of 21 individuals were found to harbour an extensive infection of larvae of an unidentified digenean trematode. The eyes, gonads, swim bladder and muscles were uninfected. The parasites in each tissue type were embedded in a granulomatous proliferation of tissue, forming a reactive fibroconnective capsule around each larva. Most of the encysted larvae were metacercariae, in a degenerative state, but on occasion some cercariae were found. Many of the granulomas were either necrotic or had a calcified core. Within the granuloma of each, the occurrence of granulocytes, macrophages, rodlet cells and pigment‐bearing macrophage aggregates was observed. Hearts bore the highest parasitic infection. Whilst the presence of metacercariae within the intestine was found positioned between the submucosa and muscle layers, metacercariae in the liver were commonly found encysted on its surface where the hepatocytes in close contact with the granuloma were observed to have electron‐lucent vesicles within their cytoplasm. Metacercariae encysting adjacent to the cartilaginous rods of gill filaments were seen to elicit a proliferation of the cartilage from the perichondrium. Rodlet cells, neutrophils and mast cells were frequently observed in close proximity to, and within, infected gill capillaries. Given the degenerated state of most granulomas, a morphology‐based identification of the enclosed digeneans was not possible. 相似文献

Abstract. Haplorchis pumilio (Looss, 1896) is a common digenean parasite of many species of fish of economic importance and has been found to infect cultured Sarotherodon spp. Fry of S. spilurus (Günther), S. mossambicus (Peters) and S. galilaea (L.) were experimentally infected with cercariae of H. pumilio from natural infections of Melanoides tuberculata (Müller) from an East African fish farm. Large numbers of cercariae were lethal to the fry within a few hours. Histopathological examination showed that the most significant pathological effect was focal haemorrhages in skeletal muscles in heavily infected fish. Migration of cercariae was through connective tissue and the final location of the metacercariae was connective tissue associated with skeletal structures. Clusters of cysts occurred at the bases of fins and in the loose connective tissue of the head, but the reaction to encysted metacercariae was insignificant. The overall effect on growth performance and thus economic importance of H. pumilio infection was assessed. Growth studies showed no significant differences between specific growth rate, food conversion ratios and condition of infected and uninfected fish. 相似文献

Abstract. An outbreak of Dermocystidium infection in cultured eels, Anguilla anguilla L., from Scotland is described. The disease appeared in the winter months but did not cause significant mortalities or adversely affect the growth of the eels. Infected eels had large, elongate white cysts on the gills. The cysts consisted of a homogeneous layer of parasite origin surrounded by a fibrous capsule and hyper-plastic epithelium. Within the cysts were small spherical parasite cells with a densely staining central area and peripheral granular, vacuolated cytoplasm. The cell wall appeared to be broken down in many cases and the cells appeared degenerate. The cysts eventually collapsed and the cavity was filled with epidermal tissue. 相似文献

Histopathological lesions due to third‐larval stage of nematode Brevimulticaecum sp. within the liver of a subpopulation of 31 Gymnotus inaequilabiatus from the Pantanal Region (Brazil) were studied with histochemical and immunohistochemical methods. In 93.5% of fish, livers harboured nematode larvae and the intensity of infection ranged from 8 to 293. In livers with highest number of larvae, the hepatic tissue was occupied primarily by the nematodes. Each larva was encircled by focal inflammatory granulomatous reaction. Within the thickness of the granuloma, three concentric layers were recognized: an inner layer of densely packed epithelioid cells, a middle layer of mast cells (MCs) entrapped in a thin fibroblast‐connective mesh and an outer layer of fibrous connective tissue with fibroblasts. Epithelioid cells and fibroblasts within the thickness of the granuloma wall were positive for proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Moreover, several hepatocytes in infected liver were immunoreactive to PCNA. Occurrence of rodlet cells and MCs in parenchyma, in close proximity to the encysted nematode larvae and near the blood vessel of infected liver, was observed. Macrophage aggregates (MAs) were numerous within the granulomas and scattered in parenchyma of the infected liver. High quantity of haemosiderin was encountered in MAs and hepatocytes of infected liver. 相似文献

Abstract. Two Myxobolus species, M. pseudodispar and M. ellipsoides , and two Myxidium species, M. rhodei and M. pfeifferi , were found in roach, Rutilus rutilus L., from three different locations in northern Greece, northern England and Scotland. Their prevalence, distribution in the host and pathology were studied. In the ease of M. rhodei , the pathological changes were quantitatively evaluated by computer-based image analysis, and the results expressed in terms of area and volume of organs affected. The pathology of M. pfeifferi was associated with trophozoites in the bile duets and the infection ranged from mild to severe. In the severe eases, degeneration of duetal mucosa sometimes progressed to focal hepatitis. Myxidium rhodei was found in the kidneys as large cysts containing mature and immature spores (Type A cysts), and less often, in the form of small concentric cysts (Type B) which contained no obvious spores but which were characterized by a marked host response giving the appearance of focal granulomas. Type A cysts were also found in liver and spleen, and Type B cysts in the heart. Trophozoites of M. rhodei were observed in only a few eases and occurred in enlarged renal corpuscles in which the capillary tuft was atrophied and compressed. The pathology of M. rhodei was significant due to the enlargement of glomeruli from four to seven times their normal size and with an estimated increase in volume of 54 to 78 times. In addition to the functional damage to the glomeruli, there was also damage of the surrounding interstitial tissue and tubules as a result of the pressure from these enlarged glomeruli. The two myxobolid species were considered to be mainly specific to the kidney with no serious pathology in this organ, but caused significant pathology in the muscles ( M. pseudodispar ) and gills ( M. ellipsoides ). 相似文献

Abstract. A spontaneous unilateral exophthalmos occurring in five species of otherwise healthy rockfish, Sebastes spp., was investigated. All eyes from nine unilaterally exophthalmic and seven non-exophthalmic rockfish were examined grossly and histologically. In all affected fish the exophthalmos was due to enlargement of the globes resulting from the formation of choroidal cysts filled with a clear, watery fluid and surrounded by dense, aberrant connective tissue. Cyst formation led to gross distortion and disorganization of the choroid. Distorted remnants of the choroidal rete mirabile contained markedly fewer erythrocytes, a homogeneous proteinaceous material and a mild inflammatory cell infiltrate. Thickened scleral cartilage with disoriented chondrocytes was also present in exophthalmic eyes. Some of the affected eyes showed pigmentary abnormalities with clumps of heavily pigmented cells present in the retina and choroid. Retinal degeneration and detachment was also evident in some of the affected eyes. 相似文献

A stock of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, held at an experimental facility, was found to be heavily infested with the lernmaeapodid copepod Salmincola californiensis. The efficacy and effects of treatment were compared with ivermectin or manual removal of parasites as a means of control of S. californiensis. One group of fish was orally intubated with 0.2 mg ivermectin active ingredient kg-1 fish. A second treatment was administered after a further 14 days. In a second group of fish, parasites were manually removed from the gills using forceps. These fish were sampled for up to 21 days post-first removal of parasites. In the ivermectin-treated fish adult parasites became inactive and changed colour within 18 h of the initial treatment. Copepods began to disappear by day 3 post-treatment and by day 31 almost all embedded female parasites had disappeared. Gills were clinically normal apart from cavitation deformity resulting from parasite attachment. Post-ivermectin treatment, there was an increase in the number of eosinophilic granular cells surrounding the bulla of attached S. californiensis, but from day 31 post-treatment these were replaced by macrophages and epithelioid cells to form a necrotic focus. In manually picked fish there was extensive haemorrhage in the interlamellar spaces as a result of parasite removal. At sites of parasite removal tissue necrosis was minimal and healing was rapid. At the end of the sampling period the structure of the gill was improved. The use of oral dosage with ivermectin is an effective treatment for S. californiensis and could be particularly beneficial for use with endangered salmon broodstocks infested with the parasite. 相似文献

Timing of reproduction is an important life‐history trait that varies among species as a function of energy allocation strategy, particularly as individuals are influenced by seasonal variations prior to and during the reproductive season. This study investigated size‐ and sex‐based seasonal patterns of energy allocation in bluegill, Lepomis macrochirus (Rafinesque), a species that spawns repeatedly throughout the summer, by quantifying gonad, liver and mesenteric fat masses. Results indicate that bluegill delay production of gonad tissue until the onset of the spawning season and use an ‘income spawning’ approach. Comparisons of energetic trends with crappies, Pomoxis annularis (Rafinesque) and P. nigromaculatus (Lesueur), a confamilial species of relatively similar size and morphology that spawns in the spring, highlight the flexibility of energy allocation patterns even among relatively similar fishes and shed light on bluegill life‐history strategies. 相似文献

Bullheads, Cottus gobio, with macroscopic external cysts on the skin and fins measuring up to 3 mm in diameter were detected in the River Allen and its tributaries in southern England between 1992 and 1998. The prevalence of these cysts was up to 50% at some sites. Examination of cyst contents revealed the presence of numerous spores, typical of the genus Dermocystidium, measuring 8 microm in diameter. The parasite developed within well-defined cysts, which were located in the hypodermal connective tissues of the host. No cysts were present on the fins of any of the fish examined. Histological examination revealed a cyst wall consisting of an inner layer of dense eosinophilic material similar to that reported for Dermocystidium spp. forming coenocytic hyphae. No evidence was found of systemic infection or hyphal formation. Spores contained a prominent refractile body, which gave a weakly positive reaction for polysaccharides with the periodic-acid Schiff reaction and was positively stained with acidic dyes. Several examples of ruptured cysts were seen in histological sections and in some of these cases the host epithelial layer was breached, allowing release of the spores to the environment. Morphological features of, and host response towards, the Dermocystidium sp. in bullheads are compared with similar infections in salmonids and other freshwater fish species. 相似文献

Abstract. Starry flounder Platichthys stellatus (Pallas) from the Duwamish River estuary, which has received large volumes of pollutants in the past, and starry flounder from two relatively unpolluted reference areas were examined for pathological conditions. Gross and microscopic examination of starry flounders from the Duwamish River estuary revealed one or more of the following unusual liver characteristics in 92% (monthly range 85–100%) of the fish: liver discolouration, liver enlargement, severe fatty vacuolation of the hepatocytes, centrolobular cellular degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes, megalocytic hepatocytes, proliferating perivascular fibroblasts displacing adjacent liver parenchyma, hepatic structural disarray and increased basophilia of hepatocytes in localized areas. Livers of starry flounders, usually spent spawners, from one of the reference areas also had one or more of these characteristics, although at a much lower frequency (<13%), and these included liver discolouration, increased fatty vacuolation of the hepatocytes and hepatic structural disarray. 相似文献

Abstract. An ultrastructural study of the cellular response of plaice to Rhipidocotyle johnstonei nom. nov. Matthews, 1968, revealed a chronic inflammatory lesion containing cells mainly of the mononuclear phagocyte series. The 'granuloma' included monocytes, macrophages, epithelioid cells and multinucleated cells with peripheral fibrocytes. The presence of small numbers of lymphocytes and plasma cells in the mature granuloma suggests a cell-mediated response. The parasite becomes adult within two months and survives for approximately 10 months, the capsules becoming increasingly fibrotic. Heavy infections in young fish cause fin erosion, haemorrhage and probably impair muscle function, increasing the risk of predation. 相似文献

Abstract. The histopathology of Myxidium giardi infections in wild and cultured elvers, fingerlings and adult eels is described. The lesions in the target organs of the kidney and gills were minimal. Marked granulomatous changes were evident in the spleen, peritoneal fat and, to a lesser extent, the liver and gas gland. The granulomatous reaction consisted of a mononuclear infiltration into the spore mass and proliferative fibrosis of the surrounding connective tissue, Histological evidence of an immunological response is described. The types of M. giardi cysts are described-a primary interstitial cyst of the kidney and gill, a secondary cyst of the gills and a glomerular spore mass. Primary interstitial cysts in the kidney were observed to rupture and formed spore masses in the interstitial tissue. Evidence of vascular spread and the presence of spore emboli is presented. It is suggested that primary multiplication occurs in the primary interstitial cyst of the kidney and gills, and secondary multiplication in the secondary gill cyst and glomerular spore mass from which mature spores are released to the environment. 相似文献

Abdominal distention occurred at an incidence of 1% (15 from 1500 fish) in the population of 1‐year‐old bester (Huso huso × Acipenser ruthenus). Computed tomography (CT) images and radiographs showed a soft tissue mass compressed the posterior part of the swim bladder. Ultrasonography showed that the masses had different patterns. Internal examination revealed the abdominal cavities to be filled with large masses which appeared to encompass most of the visceral organs, including the swim bladder. The masses originated from the posterior kidney. Histologically, the masses were composed of mixtures of embryonal epithelial (tubules and glomeruli), blastema and mesenchymal tissues. The tubules showed cystic, papillary and tubular patterns. Tubules and glomeruloid structures were surrounded by proliferating blastema cells. The primitive mesenchyme was composed of loose streams and whorls of spindle to stellate cells with elongate nuclei. Histological findings in the skeletal muscles, hypoderm and spleen confirmed the metastatic tumour from the kidney in two cases. Immunohistochemically, neoplastic cells of the tubules and glomeruloid structures were positive for cytokeratin AE1/AE3. Sections stained with Masson's trichrome showed blue staining of the stroma. The histopathologic findings were consistent with nephroblastoma. 相似文献
