Immunogenicity of Hemolysin, Protease and Lipopolysaccharide Extracted from Aeromonas hydrophila in Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio L.).

Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio

The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) belongs to the family Cyprinidae. In nature, carp live in the middle or lower reaches of a river with slow currents, or in marshes. Their habitats are usually weedy areas with a muddy bottom. Carp fry feed on zooplankton such as rotifers and copepods, but as they grow up they become benthic feeders, feeding on animals and other organic material. The cyprinids h...

Common carp - Cyprinus carpio

Distribution ! e common carp [Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus (1758)] has been one of the oldest domesticated species of fi sh for food. Culture of carp in China dates back to at least the 5th century BC, although domestication began much later. ! e European races of carp derived from wild carp of the Danube; the earliest attempts date back to the Roman Empire and spread of Christianity in Europe, fro...

Phenotypic characteristics and pathogenicity of Aeromonas genomospecies isolated from common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.).

AIMS To evaluate the relationship between the genomospecies, phenotypic profile and pathogenicity for carp of 37 motile Aeromonas strains. METHODS AND RESULTS Aeromonas strains were identified to genomospecies level by the 16S rDNA restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method and characterized phenotypically by the API 20E and API Zym systems and by conventional tube or plate method...

Expression profile of cytokine genes in the common carp species Cyprinus carpio L. following infection with Aeromonas hydrophila

In the current study, the expression levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), CC-chemokine and CXC-chemokine were examined in head kidney (HK) leukocytes of common carp Cyprinus carpio L. following experimental infection with Aeromonas hydrophila and compared with those of carp treated with formalin-killed A. hydrophila. The expression of IL-1β was highest at 8 h p...

Isolation and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Aeromonas Hydrophila in a Carp (cyprinus Carpio) Hatchery Farm

The aim of this study was to describe a case of skin lesions with haemorrhaging in a carp (Cyprinus carpio) hatchery farm and to determine effective antibiotic treatments. In the macroscopic examinations of nine carp with haemorrhagic skin lesions, brown or red spotted skin changes of a varying degree were found, along their bodies. No lesions were observed in the internal organs. Pure cultures...
