Antiprotozoals effective in vitro against the scuticociliate fish pathogen Philasterides dicentrarchi.
The histophagous ciliate Philasterides dicentrarchi causes fatal scuticociliatosis in farmed turbot Scophthalmus maximus and sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax. The present study screened 52 candidate antiprotozoals for activity against this pathogen in vitro. Of these compounds, 14 were effective (i.e. killed all ciliates within a 24 h assay period). In descending order of efficacy (minimum lethal ...
متن کاملOccurrence of scuticociliatosis in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus by Phiasterides dicentrarchi (Ciliophora: scuticociliatida).
In the course of identifying scuticociliates recently obtained from systemically infected olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus in Korea, we found a scuticociliate species whose small subunit ribosomal RNA (SS rRNA) gene was not amplified by species-specific primers previously designed for Uronema marinum and Pseudocohnilembus persalinus. By studying morphological characteristics of wet-mounted...
متن کاملHistopathology and Mortality in Olive Flounder Infected by Scuticociliatosis caused by Philasterides dicentrarchi
The histophagous scuticociliate, Philasterides dicentrarchi, infects Korean olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, cultured on Jeju Island in South Korea, causing significant economic losses. However, its route of entry is yet unknown. In the present study, we experimentally infected olive flounder by immersion or injection of different concentrations of P. dicentrarchi. Cumulative mortality w...
متن کاملEfficacy of a New Autologus Platelet Gel: in Vitro Study
Abstract Background Autologus platelet gel is easy to prepare and is relatively low cost. The aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate in vitro efficacy of autologus platelet gel. Materials and Methods In this experimental study, platelet concentrate and platelet poor plasma were prepared with aphaeresis method. Thrombin was prepared by mixing the plasma with calcium. Thrombin activity...
متن کاملIn Vitro Comparison of the Efficacy of Cumin Extract and Fluconazole Against Candida Strains
Background and Aim: Fungal infections are the most common opportunistic infections; when accompanied by widespread infections, such as acquired immune de-ficiency syndrome (AIDS), they cause a worldwide health crisis. Therefore, treatment of these infections is seen as one of the health challenges. Medicinal herbs can be used as rich sources of treatment due to their fewer side effects. Current...
