Abstract:
... A new aporocotylid blood fluke is described, based on specimens from the ventricle of the Pacific bluefin tuna, Thunnus orientalis (Temminck et Schlegel), cultured in Wakayama and Nagasaki Prefectures, Japan. The new species is morphologically similar to the members of the genus Cardicola Short, 1953, but shows distinct differences in the body form, location of the testis and the orientation of th ...

Abstract:
... Blood fluke infection is one of the main causes of mortality in cultured juvenile Pacific bluefin tuna Thunnus orientalis (PBT) in Japan. We investigated 532 wild juvenile PBT of four different fish groups caught for tuna culture seed stock from off the Goto Islands, Nagasaki, Japan between 2011 and 2014, to determine whether they were infected with blood flukes. We detected the blood flukes, Card ...

Abstract:
... Farming of Pacific bluefin tuna (PBT), Thunnus orientalis, is a rapidly growing industry in Japan. Aporocotylid blood flukes of the genus Cardicola comprising C. orientalis, C. opisthorchis and C. forsteri are parasites of economic importance for PBT farming. Recently, terebellid polychaetes have been identified as the intermediate hosts for all these parasites. We collected infected polychaetes, ...

Abstract:
... Fish blood flukes (Aporocotylidae) are important pathogens of farmed finfish around the world. Among them, Cardicola spp. infecting farmed tuna are considered to be serious threats to tuna farming and have received tremendous attention. We conducted periodical samplings at a tuna farming site in Japan between January and May, 2015 to determine the life cycle of Cardicola spp. We collected over 470 ...

Abstract:
... Pacific bluefin tuna (PBT), Thunnus orientalis, due to its high average price on the market is an economically valuable fish species. Infections by blood flukes from the genus Cardicola (Trematoda: Aporocotylidae) represent a growing concern for the cage culture of bluefin tuna in Japan, Australia and Southern Europe. The accumulation of numerous Cardicola eggs in the fish gills causes severe path ...

Abstract:
... We found aporocotylid larval stages (sporocysts and cercariae) from five individuals of terebellid polychaete Terebella sp., which were collected from seabed substrate and ropes and floats attached to tuna cages in a tuna farm on the coast of Tsushima Island, Nagasaki, Japan. Nucleotide sequences of the regions of internal transcribed spacer 2 ribosomal DNA and 28S ribosomal DNA from these larval ...

Abstract:
... A microscopic and a molecular approach was used to investigate blood fluke infection in the very first specimens of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus, Scombridae) that were born in captivity and that were never moved from their specific cage culture sites in the Mediterranean. Data were compared with infection in wild, migratory bluefin tuna which were captured and fattened along the Spanish ...

Abstract:
... Infestations of blood flukes of the genus Cardicola have been observed in juvenile Pacific bluefin tuna (PBT) cultured in Japan. Infected fish harbor large numbers of parasite eggs in their gills. Although the link between blood fluke infection and juvenile mortality is not clear, accumulation of parasite eggs appears to be pathogenic to the fish. We investigated the origins, general morphology/di ...

Abstract:
... Blood flukes of the genus Cardicola cause significant problems in the bluefin tuna farming around the world. In Japan, the mortality of the juvenile Pacific bluefin tuna Thunnus orientalis (PBT) caused by C. orientalis and C. opisthorchis has become a serious issue in the tuna farming industry in recent years. Oral treatment with praziquantel (PZQ) is highly effective against blood flukes and is i ...

Abstract:
... Cardicola opisthorchis is a blood fluke pathogen significantly affecting cultured Pacific bluefin tuna Thunnus orientalis in Japan. It is known that the intermediate host of C. opisthorchis is a terebellid polychaete Terebella sp. In order to study the intrapolychaete larval development of C. opisthorchis, we transplanted sporocysts, which contained a large number of cercariae, of C. opisthorchis ...
