Study and identification of external parasites in platyfish imported into Iran
Authors
Abstract:
Ornamental fish keeping is developing in Iran. Most of these fishes are not native and importing. External parasite is one of the most important difficulties in aquarium fishes. The aim of this study is determination of parasite pollution in skin and gills of imported platy fish. One hundred and fifty out of 220 platy fish was polluted. Parasites identification was done by wet mount, Staining and parasite keys. 5 parasite species were isolated, e.g. 2 protozoans, 2 monogeneans and 1 digenean. Protozoan parasites are Trichodina sp. and Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, Monogeneans are Dactylogyrus sp., Gyrodactylus sp. and Ascocotyle tenioculis metacercaria as identified digenetic trematode. A. tenioculis and Dactylogyrus sp. only in gills and others in gills and skin were observed. Thus, besides regarding the quarantine period, precise examination and antiparasitic medications should be performed.

Research Article: Morphometric study and identification of external parasites in Hypophthalmichthys molitrix breeders in Guilan, Iran
The parasites that normally cause fish disease under farming condition possess a direct life cycle with no need to intermediate hosts for dissemination. The ensuing infection can therefore spread rapidly inducing more damaging lesions in the external parts of host especially the gills. In this study, in order to isolate and identify foreign parasites of phytophagous fish in Guilan province, 4 f...

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of metacercarial infection in plathyfish imported to Iran. A total of 100 imported live common platyfish (Xiphophorus maculatus) from approximately 24 shipments were collected from a quarantine facility in Iran in 2007 and examined in our veterinary laboratory. Among 800 examined gill arches about 1300 cysts were found in different loc...
