A review of the parasitic dinoflagellates Hematodinium species and Hematodinium-like infections in marine crustaceans.
Parasitic dinoflagellates in the genus Hematodinium are important parasites of marine Crustacea. Outbreaks of these parasites have damaged commercial stocks of Norway lobster Nephrops norvegicus, snow crab Chionoecetes opilio, Tanner crab C. bairdi, American blue crab Callinectes sapidus, and velvet swimming crab Necora puber. Species of Hematodinium can reach high enough levels to regulate the...
متن کاملThe Parasitic Dinoflagellates of Marine Crustaceans
Parasitic dinoflagellates have recently emerged as significant disease agents of commercially important crustaceans. For example, epizootics of Hematodinium have seriously affected certain crab and lobster fisheries. The parasitic dinoflagellates of crustaceans are, however, relatively unknown. Marine crustaceans are parasitized by two orders of dinoflagellates: the Blastodinida and the Syndini...
متن کاملDifferences in enzyme activities between two species of Hematodinium, parasitic dinoflagellates of crustaceans.
Parasitic dinoflagellates of the genus Hematodinium infect several commercially important decapod crustaceans. Different species of Hematodinium have different levels of virulence in their respective hosts. Enzyme activities were studied from two species of Hematodinium, one isolated from the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) and the other from the American blue crab (Callinectes sapidus). W...
متن کاملNew Host Range for Hematodinium in Southern Australia and Novel Tools for Sensitive Detection of Parasitic Dinoflagellates
Hematodinium is a parasitic dinoflagellate and emerging pathogen of crustaceans. It preferably manifests in haemolymph of marine decapod crustaceans, killing a large variety of genera with significant impacts on fisheries worldwide. There is, however, evidence that some crustacean stocks harbor high prevalence, low intensity infections that may not result in widespread host mortality and are th...
متن کاملDetection and quantification of the free-living stage of the parasitic dinoflagellate Hematodinium sp. in laboratory and environmental samples
Species of Hematodinium are highly pathogenic parasitic dinoflagellates and can cause substantial mortalities inmany decapod crustaceans. Periodic outbreaks ofHematodinium disease have significantly impacted stocks of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus throughout the Delmarva Peninsula. Using a primer set targeting the internal transcribed spacer region 1 (ITS1) of the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene ...
