Clear peaks of trematode Clinostomum complanatum cercariae detection rate in snails Radix auricularia japonica were observed around July a goldfish Carassius auratus farm Aichi Prefecture. ​Effects Trichlorfon and praziquantel examined against C. artificially infected goldfish. ​Both effective the early phase infection cohabitating with snails. ​Trichlorfon was 300 mg/t bath treatment for 13 d ...

BACKGROUND Since free radical scavengers of parasite origin like glutathione-S-transferase and superoxide dismutase are being explored as prospective vaccine targets, availability of these molecules within the parasite infecting different hosts as well as different sites of infection is of considerable importance. Using Clinostomum complanatum, as a model helminth parasite, we analysed the effe...

There has been no previous parasitological survey of perch Perca fluviatilis in Turkey. Consequently, the objectives of the present study were to investigate the metazoan parasite communities of perch and also to calculate infection parameters of the parasites in a eutrophic lake. A total of 52 perch were collected seasonally from Lake Sığırcı in Ipsala, Turkey, between April 2009 and February ...
