Abstract:

Some parasites can be transferred from fish to human via eating of contaminated meat and make serious problems in consumers. In the present study zoonotic parasites of abdominal cavity in pike-perch, Sander lucioperca, in south eastern part of the Caspian Sea have been surveyed. In this regard, 30 fish were caught by purse seine net and abdominal cavity, digestive tract and other organs (kidney, spleen, liver, gonads and mesentery) of specimens were fully examined for helminthic parasites. Totally two zoonotic nematodes including Anisakis simplex and Eustrongylides sp were isolated from pike-perch. According to the result, 46.67 % of specimens were infected at least with one type of mentioned parasites. In this study the prevalence of Anisakis simplex and Eustrongylides sp infections in pike- perch were recorded as 36.67 % and 23.33 %, respectively. Mean intensity of parasite infection were calculated as 12.13 ± 5.8 and 2.57 ± 1.51, respectively for Anisakis simplex and Eustrongylides sp in pike-perches. This study described that the pike-perches in south-eastern part of the Caspian Sea are infected with mentioned zoonotic parasites, so health care of consumers in this area should be considered.

Survey on the metazoan parasites in Neogobius fishes from Southeastern part of the Caspian Sea

In this study a parasitological investigation on 238 samples of Neogobius species from the south-east of Caspian Sea was carried out. The samples including Neogobius melanostomus (35), N. fluviatilis pallasi (103), N. kessleri gorlap (70) and N. bathybius (30) were seasonally seined by beach net during one year (summer 2006-spring 2007), fixed in 10 % buffer formalinand transferred to the labor...

Genome Sequence of a Ranavirus Isolated from Pike-Perch Sander lucioperca

The pike-perch iridovirus (PPIV) was isolated in Finland from apparently healthy pike-perch fingerlings during routine disease surveillance. Our phylogenomic analysis revealed that PPIV is the first fish member of a clade of ranaviruses previously described from European and Chinese amphibians.

Genetic analysis of pike-perch, Sander lucioperca L., populations revealed by microsatellite DNA markers in Iran

This study was conducted in order to investigate genetic diversity and population structure of pike-perch in the Northern part of Iran. For this purpose, 207 adult pike-perches from four regions of the Caspian Sea watershed (Talesh Coasts, Anzali Wetland, Chaboksar Coasts and Aras Dam) were collected. DNA was extracted and by using 15 pairs of microsatellite primers, Polymerase Chain Reaction (...
