Epicellular and nodular coccidiosis in the intestine of barbel Barbus barbus

Nodular and epicellular coccidiosis in the intestine of cyprinid fishes

In the intestine of 10 (n = 18) cyprinid fish species collected from natural waters of Hungary, the author demonstrated oocysts which were shed unsporulated In tapwater, oocysts sporulated within 24 to 48 h In 6 of the fish species, oocysts of 2 sizes were observed Histological examnations proved that, of the morphologically similar oocysts larger ones developed in nodules in size of a pinhead ...

Phylogeography of the barbel (Barbus barbus, Linnaeus 1758) in the area of Lake Constance

Heavy Metal Accumulation and the Genotoxicity in Barbel (Barbus barbus) as Indicators of the Danube River Pollution

The aim of this study was to analyze 16 trace elements (Al, As, B, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sr, and Zn) in different barbel (Barbus barbus) tissues and to detect the presence of genotoxic effects in erythrocytes with the alkaline comet assay. Barbel specimens were collected in the Danube river near Belgrade, Serbia, where the discharge of untreated communal and industrial was...

Endohelminth fauna of barbel Barbus barbus (L. 1758) in the Serbian section of the Danube River, with dominance of acanthocephalan Pomphorhynchus laeavis

Infection of the barbel Barbus barbus (L. 1758) with endohelminths was observed in fish collected from eight localities in the Serbian part of the Danube River between September 2004 2009. Temporal variations in the number of parasites per fish sample were noted. A total of 194 fish specimens of different age, mostly males, were examined. The most prevalent parasitic species was the acanthoceph...

OXIDATIVE STRESS RESPONSES AND HISTOLOGICAL HEPATIC ALTERATIONS IN BARBEL, Barbus bocagei, FROM VIZELA RIVER, PORTUGAL

Barbel (Barbus bocagei) a common species in Portuguese rivers was studied to assess the impact of water contamination on hepatic oxidative stress response, lipid peroxidation and histology. The Vizela River is a tributary of the Ave River, located in one of the most industrialized areas of Portugal. The oxidative stress biomarkers analyzed included superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione S-...
